New guy, old EQ player

Hi all.

I played Game from right after Kunark to GoD in a moderate raiding guild. I started thinking about Game today and found this site by chance. The emu sounds great and I can't wait to try it, all I need to do is find my disks. I heard the Platinum Series disk is all I need????

Anyway, I plan to box a shammy/monk and see how it goes. Are human classes vision impaired in this emu???

I'm trying to adjust to the nomenclature of all of the zones and items that I have read on the FaQs. I guess it will all come to me as I will be starting over.

Questions:
Any good newbie guilds available for one to familiarize oneself with the game and find groups?
Server Population?
Bazaar?
Instanced zones?
Corpse runs?
PoK teleportation?
DID ANYONE KILL THE SLEEPER???

I hope I don't offend anyone by asking questions here, but there are so many stickied items to read.

In closing, thanks to the developers and I hope to see some of you in game soon!

NOTHING on shards is like live.

There is no such thing as a sleeper, Bazaar(and the 'moon') are not in, Kunark does not exist, racial penalties/benefits/interactions are different, mobs and zone connections are different, even some game mechanics are changed. It's absolutely nothing like live.

Im pretty sure cmal is the exact opposite of instanced, if I understand correctly what instanced means

not really. it's instanced, but with only one instance. in order to enforce the 1-group limit.

player houses are the only fully instanced zones though.

I'm with Tyrone on this one. AFAIK it's not instanced, there's just a limit of 6 people in the zone. If it were instanced, each group that went in would get a new respawn of mobs; instead they're down for... however many hours.
 
Re: New guy, old Game player

Well, I'm playing. I have a copy of Platinum, but alas the disk one is scratched badly. Had to load each expansion individually and didn't have a copy of Ykesha (added two hours of patching!), but it works. I feel like a noob all over again! Now I just need to grind to 65...
