Some simple tips for newer players or first timer TLP'ers

AOC's are tailored to each server Phinny's AOCs were Phinny, Aradune's AOC's were Aradune, Coirnav was one of those little fish dudes. Selos' was a bard.

Mischief's AOCs are a giant halfling.

Pro Tip:

To help with lag and your sanity, make the following hotkey:

/hidecorpse all

This will hide all corpses of players and NPCs except your own.

/hidecorpse always and you'll never see them again (except your own) until you /hidecorpse none (note this flag seems to carry over to alts, took me a while to figure out why my cleric alt couldn't find anyone to rez lol)

/hidecorpse always npc -- if you are a cleric and ever want to rez anyone.

I've used /hidecorpse always and /hidecorpse npc lots, never thought to combine them lol. TIL.

If you are cheap like me and didn't buy the bags, you should hit the bank before you go out to level since there is an extra bag in there you can use.

Helpful tips!

I just made an updated List of EQ Resources For TLP Players, that may help a few players as well.

Save yourself a headache, and a bunch of time, and just find a new camp if you come across combative players who want to steal your cookies.

Turn auto zoom off on the map. I wish it was off by default for new characters.

use /note to make notes! very useful!

Bind "Cycle through nearest NPCs" and "Consider" to the same key. I use Tab. When I'm running somewhere or scouting I constantly spam Tab, checking for see invis mobs.

Good.

Also, I am glad to see the masses converting to the good gospel of Always Need. It just saves everyone from loot arguments. Most people are charitable enough to assign group gear or quest items to members that can actually use them.

This will sound like weird advice, but I recommend leveling bad characters first. When the server is new, or when an expansion is new, there is a lot more people playing, and a lot more opportunity for useless classes like Rogues to find a group.

As the server ages, it's extremely rare to have a Cleric or Enchanter in your group since most of the people who wanted one have already leveled theirs. So there's really no downside to leveling your Cleric or Enchanter 6 months after a server launches, you will get a group even faster then than you would have during launch, where these classes were plentiful, but some of the weaker classes won't have such an easy time and could potentially spend months trying to reach max level.

just surprised they stickied a post advising people to download 3rd party software to play EQ.

which sticky do you mean and what 3rd party software

Ok so that is the third party you speak of.

Where is the post?

the original OP post #13 on the list
why do I have to state this in it's own thread?

In the Bazaar, select HIDE ALL SELLERS... and when you cannot see the vendor then have them targeted and use /usetarget

Hi Guise!
