Returning player needs adviceFollow

Well, since you've been gone, they've added three new expansions, 450 more zones, 15 new classes, 4 new races, and tons of new spells and upgrades. The level cap has also been raised to 4000.

I recommend starting as a Sportsman class, you don't have to worry about ANYTHING since faction is not an issue as you are born famous, so nobody aggroes you. You can explore all the new zones at level 1 if you wanted with him.

Well, if you can't find food they created a new skill called 'Cannibalize', which effectively allows you to eat yourself. You lose a full level of experience, but you never need food again! This ability is available at level 2555 and costs 200 AA's.

Since you've been gone, they've upgraded Moss Snakes to Leviathans. They are now level 350 and can deci-hit for over 7,000,000 HP.

There is no such thing as 'loot' anymore. Now everything has to be quested. At the completion of the quest, each piece of equipment is melded onto your body so the people at SOE don't have to hear complaints about people's gear getting stolen. They finally shut down the Station Exchange because too many people were complaining about it.

Nobody can 'give away' pp. Platinum, when obtained, is in the form of IOU's since all the precious metals in Norrath were squandered by meandering adventurers. Platinum was too expensive to maintain so now the main form of currency is nylon. So now what you are looking for is ns (nylon strings).

You won't be able to do much of anything at level 63. Since you are such a low level you will maybe find 1 ns every 200 hours.

I hope this answers the majority of your questions. After being away from EQ for such a long time, many different things have changed.

" Oh, did we mention the castle thing, you get one automatically if you find a vacant one or oust the owners"

LMFAO!!!! This is just what the doctor ordered! I've been away from eq for like ever!(8 days now!) I didn't realize things could change soo much! What a good way to keep me awake at 4am.

Sigh, how long have you been playing your pirate, you should know the rape/pillage combination is not effective on a sportsman do to the skunk essence we apply before battle, though I will admit your ninja/pirate could get close enough to give it a try at least, and your robo could overcome the spell, if he didn't clank.

Do we need German pop-up scum? We have enough English spam-a-lets to keep us busy...

Bio breaks are a thing of the past since they added the new
/relief #1 or /relief #2 commands.

Yes, that comes as a vibrating attachement with the /relief #1 and #2 terminal USB attachement, it's a side effect of some of the pirate line of rape/pillage spells.

And my merman in the tank in the castle seems to have a nice line of spells that work with that also, some very interesting casting messages too .

Oh by the way, they're releasing an expansion called "Birds of a Feather" tomorrow; supposed to up the level cap to 5000.

/sigh. And just when I'd hit 2546...

The divorce lawyer didn't really work well as an NPC on the test server, I think they decided to make it a playable class. Coming straight off the tutorial the DL class will have a spell that enables it to take all coin and tradeable items from any PC it encounters. I believe this was a concession to the PVP people out there.

Yeah, the new release of EQ10 will definetely put a damper on group play for awhile...

Pfffft EQ10 is a rip off of the matrix, it's set too far in the future. I'll stick to fighting ***** in EQ7.

Edit:I ruined it, sorry, rate down pls vv :(
