Hello all! Complete Noob Here!

Hi all

I am a complete noob to EQ but here's a little bit about me. When I first came to the world of MMO's I started with WoW and played that for 10 years until things got sour with a guild i was in (Long story so wont go into details) and got burnt out.

I then went into just playing single player games for awhile but was missing that itch of online play and meeting new people. I didn't want to go back to WoW as in my opinion Blizz are just milking it now instead of listening to the player base and the game to me has lost what it once was. I tried a few other mmo's such as DDO, Archage ect but just couldn't find my 'Home' with the community.

Now to EQ, I had heard of it but had never given it a thought to try it (I now realise this was a mistake lol) then one steam sale I had bought Craft the world and was browsing youtube on vids on how to play and came across AC Gamer's channel. after watching a few vids on craft the world I saw he also played EQ but Project 1999 not live.

I watched his vids (and still do) and was really getting into the game and the commentary and thought this could actually be a game I could invest my time in so I downloaded EQ Live from steam and started to play and really having a blast I know the game had changed alot but I was able to take alot of his advice and apply them in Live so it helped. I really wanted to try p99 but at the time I didn't have the disc's and the funds to get them so I stuck with the live servers. Did some server hopping to find where and what I wanted to play (i'm a f2p player so only get 2 character slots per server), The highest level I got so far is a level 24 magician.

Then this Christmas I finally got the disc's from a family member who was nice enough to buy them for me (I must of been real kind to them last year lol) and have now started a barbarian warrior (Thoom inspired [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]) and having a blast, I'm only level 2 right now and it's very difficult to get started but I love this game and having a blast. I also find I get lost alot (used to having the map on live lol) but thats also the fun, getting lost in the world and discovering new things (well new to me anyways lol).

Thats really it about me hope to see you all in game and if you see a low level barbarian warrior named Athelion running into a wall feel free to give me a little nudge in the right direction lol.
