I don't know if it's possible to introduce a newbie to EQ if they've already played a newer generation MMORPG..

I've got a friend playing right now, and she's doing serviceably well, though she's more of a newbie to video games in general.
yesterday she rolled a ranger, ran into the middle of the GFay orc encampments, and got herself killed. She's a better example of an individual for whom the learning curve actually has been steep. | ||

I convinced my friend to play and she hasn't had much of a problem. She never played wow or any other mmo as far as I know, and she's having a great time.

I have my brother-in-law playing, and he's never played MMOs before, the closest is Oblivion. However, I'm happy to report he's hooked already as a level 4 rogue, sends me e-mail questions and such all the time.
He's having a "wow" experience like we did when we all started. | ||

I can say that I can completely new to EQ, but I am a MMO veteran. I started with DAOC, and moved on to almost every game that was offered, including the dreade WoW, which I played from launch.
No matter what some say about what WoW has become, I am happy to say that I leveled a druid to 60 as a resto spec, which was the fastest spec at launch for those that were around. I am loving my time in EQ so far. I picked a mage as a starting class. Better to learn as DPS than a tank or healer I always say. The learning curve is steep, but I am loving the brutal nature of the gameplay. Having consequences from death is awesome in my book. I'm still looking for the game that makes you reroll upon death, but I guess that is even too hardcore even for this EQ community.

I'm still in the process of getting my hands on the titanium edition of EQ. I played shortly after release and then on and off for about 4 years.
Of course, nothing has come close to EQ experience (and I've played them all). I'm pretty excited about P1999-- Should be great.. Only question I have is: I was thinking of creating a Cleric. How feasible is that on this server? Will there be folks to group with this late in the game? | ||
