This is accurate to the early game. I remember my first character was a troll and coming across another player, while not rare, was exciting. When I made my first non-troll character after playing in Innothule / South Ro for a month, I made a high elf and was suddenly thrust into a bustling GFay.

I'm glad the majority of people think this. Hand Island is the best leveling in the early game and you can get mad early game rich by selling netted gloves to monks.

it's just a lovely zone to level in, it's been a LONG time since i did natural leveling there, but I recall there being odd gaps (like you hit level 3 or 4 and the mobs are either level 1-2 or 6, not a lot in the 4-5 range) and finding mobs could sometimes be a pain in the rear end.

Innothule is awesome with a group, crazy fast respawns and they con up to 8 or so. Then you go to S Ro or U Guk.

Kodaji go on Steam dude -- we gotta get grouped up. Also any other goons. I'm Steeb, level 7 Troll Shaman.

Is there an EQ Goon global channel still, I forgot the name of it.

Leveling in a full group and got trained 6 times by an angry druid who didn't get an invite.

We killed the train each time though so thanks for the free pulls my druid dude.

Lvl 6 Forehead Paladin - frankdabank checking in.

Has anyone done the Honey Jum quest in RV? Do I just go kill Bixies in Kith and grab the honeycombs or is there an easier way?

Also, are cash shop visual things permanent or only once per item?

Depends on the item. If what you get from the shop is tagged as a "container", it's once per item. If you get an augment, it can be used over and over.

I re-rolled a DE Rogue named Stabbs because I've never done a rogue and was getting tired of tanking as a SK. Rogues are a lot of fun, and I'm not sure why I don't see them anywhere. Are they somehow garbage in a way I'm missing? I seem to be doing really good DPS even without backstab, and I am regularly killing yellow mobs because I can kill them so quickly and mitigate a lot of damage.

They are inferior to monks as far as DPS is concerned. But at least you don't have to constantly be the puller for every group you join.

You are also soulbound to groups, and at near the bottom of the food chain in group desirability for like, ever. Your solo ability is zero and you offer nothing that many classes can't do better. DPS does pick up in Velious but mostly due to better gear being available.

Rogues are good and corpse recovery, but nothing that someone who can invis or has ITU pots on them can't handle for themselves. Unless you die under Innnorruk or Trakanon or some poo poo, then you're the hero of the day.

Long story short, make friends with a tank and healer and try to build a perma group.,

That will work, but you will have do that each time you log in. Better to use the /autojoin command. You can do multiple channels with autojoin
code:

/autojoin channel1:password1, channel2:password2, channel3
If you have a long list of channels to autojoin, you'll want to edit the config file manually.

Thanks. Played a lot 17 years ago but a bit rusty. So do we actually have a guild yet or is it still just chat?
