So... How classic do you want it?

[Fammaden]

Its widely considered the best starting area due to the repeatable quests for xp/money. Gnoll fangs, bandit sashes, rabid animals....I forget what else. I'm not a big fan of that side of the world myself, and I started as an erudite back in the classic days. But on green blackburrow might be cooler with people actually leveling there, other than it being packed full for a while at first.

how is qeynos a good starting area at all? i get lost trying to find anything in qeynos, even after all these years lol. and everyone knows faydwer is the best leveling continent lol.

haha It does feel more confusing than freeport to be sure, but it was the first area they tested quests so there are so many more for newbies to use to grind huge amounts of exp off of, as well as gear themselves while they grind from level 1 The gnoll fang quest is like the tip of the iceberg.

We're not going to be forcing the black screen on green, so everyone put down the pitchforks.

We will still be requiring the book and meditate button for < 35 though. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Anyone else think the server will be better if everyone talking about not playing on Green because they’re doing stuff to make it more classic? Like, what’s the downside of people not interested in classic EverQuest not playing on the classic EverQuest server?

People complaining is classic, so whether they end up playing or not either way I view it as an absolute win!

Found this fitting write up on how classic it can be in a 99 google group, it has been edited for brevity.

Everquest - Early Comments

My background: have tried most CRPGs, a couple
of online RPGs, and a few MUDs (played one for quite some time)

Finally set up my account, got on and started a High Elf Wizard.
Unfortunately, I found myself lost immediately the first day, and no one
seemed to be willing to help, including all the NPCs I hailed.
