Hello all, First off, my initial encounter with EQ was in the early 2000's when I saw my friends dad playing the game (along with EQ2 later), I was in my young teens and was blown away by the atmosphere, music, and gameplay (that I witnessed).. Since that fateful day I flirted with many MMO's mainly the early days of WoW in addition to a number of other titles (lotro, gw2, EQ2, Rift).. However, there has always been this pull to the world of EQ.. I suppose i have always been intimidated by the number of expansions and the overall history of the game to actually dive into the world myself and experience it.. SO. At the moment, I am downloading the game. I am going to brave my fears and commit. Is there anyone out there kind enough to offer insight to a hopeful EQ player regarding the overall content, where to start, what to expect, and maybe offer a few insider tips on how to approach entering such a monumental game with 21 expansions. Also maybe someone could advise how I may be able to catch up on the current lore and whats going on in-game.. In advance, thanks for taking the time to read my post! ~Dosmas
Pick the Rathe server and look for Roxxanna's guild (The Eternal Darkness). She and the rest of the guild will be able to help you
That does it. I think I'm going to roll a new toon on the Rathe. Eternal Darkness just sounds like fun!
If she isn't on, or you want an earlier invite, send me a tell (Anhari, Jaques or Kalamari). I can invite you to the guild as well. Note that if you are creating a brand new account (Not the station account you posted here with), you can follow the link in my signature to be "recruited". This will give you a few items to /claim that can help boost your starting characters. It's not required, just a bit of help to new players. (I know, I's a shameless plug).
