Hi all... This is gonna be long winded (Click the back button while you still can!!! Don't go into the light!!)
Let me begin by saying that I have been a bit of a forum junkie over the last week... I have been reading lots and lots of forums from all the different servers on EQEmu and wow there is just too much info to process and I really want to just get started.
Ok so bear with me and I apologize in advance for my noobishness...
I understand you guys probably get the same line of questions over and over lol... oh well here goes...
I quit EQ in 2005... Played a 70 Beastlord on Firiona Vie server... loved the game, and only quit because all my friends went to WoW so I went with them about 3 months later (I was the last to leave and let me tell you, I hated leaving... got choked up a bit the last time I logged out of EQ... ok so I was a little bit hooked on EQ, but then again, I guess I am in the right place for that! )
I originally went to proj 1999... awesome server and concept, but I really really want to play a Beast lord and I kinda like the newer graphics and I plan to have my wife play with me. (Nothing against p99 players, they are where its at!)
So I am thinking pretty seriously about coming here to your server, just a few questions and I think I will finalize my decision tonight!
So I have been trying to find specifics about your server, but its been difficult to nail some things down... I payed a quick visit last night online and I liked what I saw, but I was overdue to go to bed and now I am at work, (on break!)
I saw that there is an xp modifier (How much? does the modifier also effect AA points?)
I saw buff bots (which is cool!), but do I have to have a Heal bot following me around? (Nothing against people who like that kind of thing, but Its not really my style to have a bot with me... my wife will be my bot lol j/k... I will prolly be hers!)
I also saw that there was a vendor that gave away epics at level 1... My thing is, I want to be able to play the game in a way that it is still a challenge so that my wife and I can go out and quest and explore, but I dont want to feel like the mobs are laying down as soon as they see me... I guess you all are here cause your having fun, but how easy / much of a challenge is the game on your server and what is it that draws you all in? I would like it to be a bit faster paced than original EQ, but I still want it to be a challenge and even frustrating at times... I guess, to me, thats what makes it fun when you finally get what you were working for.
Sorry, I dont mean to interrogate lol, and I know there is the argument out there, "Play each server for a week and then decide" but I am trying very hard to get my wife to play (She is a WoW junkie, I quit WoW about a year ago) and she is a tough sell, but she promised to play tonight and I cant be jumping around on different servers or I will lose her interest... but once I have her settled in, I know she will stick around.
Anyway, You all seem like a group of really nice people and I hope that I would fit into your clan... Also I see that the GMs and Devs are seriously dedicated and work very hard to bring this server online and I appreciate that... I didnt even know that something like this existed until about a week ago and wow I am amazed! I plan to stick around for a couple years! I played EQ1 for 3 years, then played WoW for 4... dont get me wrong, WoW was really fun, but there is something about EQ that has stuck with me and nothing else out there has quite gotten me the way EQ did... I love this game... I actually learned about EQEmu because I was doing research on how to reactivate my origional EQ account haha! Anyway, Thanks for your help and thanks for your time and also thanks for making an awesome project come to life!
