A group of college freshmen play EQ for the first time

Hey EQ fans!

or at least I hope you are, I have an announcement and I'd like some feedback!
A few friends and I are planning on playing EQ for the first time on stream completely blind. By that of course I mean no prior knowledge of the game and limiting research to classes and races, and you can bet it's gonna be a shit-show.

While we don't have a definite start date yet, I figured I should mention it here, get some feedback and answer questions.

I'll post in the new players forum when we do start with a link to the streams and hopefully you all will tune in and enjoy!

Good Luck! Stay close to each other and don't look back!

Count me in as a viewer! "Your skill in streaming has increased"

This sounds like so much fun.

The only recommendation is to try and keep within the triad if you have 3 or more, to make the group functional. Tank, healer, CC and everything else will come together.

I remember when I first started back in 2000. I promptly fell into the moat in Felwithe and drowned because I didn't know how to swim up. Then I fell off Kelethin and I SWEAR that back then even as a high elf, things were darker. I don't think I ever recovered that body either. Oh and there is that one time I decided to explore and ventured into lfay and promptly got pounded by a brownie.

It will be great to watch "true" beginners experiencing all that EQ has to offer for the first time [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

My girlfriends son wanted to try and play the other week. He made a level 1 human paladin. Started in Freeport.. I had 0 motivation to talk him through needing to find the paladin guild and blah blah blah before killing.. He wanted to just kill.. He accidently pressed Q next to a guard.. Auto attacked, died.. Tried to find body, wandered to zone line, then got confused zoning, and proceeded to zone back and forth repeatedly cause he was turned around.. Cant wait for the show!

Dump every stat point into CHA for the classic experience!**

**Ok don't do this.

I don't know how anyone would pick up this game unless they played it when EQ was p much your only choice.

Yeah man that's crazy.. Never would even consider P99 or even EQ in general really, had i not played it back in 99..

Remember, when this game consumes you and you all flunk-out, you'll have way more time to play.
