Hey all! Just recently started up SoD, played EQ from 2000-2009 or so and recently wanted to try to relive the fun of how it was when I started, sadly live just doesn't seem to have it anymore. Hope to have as much fun and meet folks on here.
 
Thanks! So far I have been having a blast, forgot how hard it was to start a game with nothing but it is just as rewarding as I remember. Only made it to level 11 so far but looking forward to the rest. Will definitely give the article a read.

Glad you like it! The low levels are a ton of fun. What class are you playing? You know, this server allows 2 boxing, and I would suggest leveling 2 toons at the same time.
 
Currently I am trying a monk, just made 12. Forgot how hard they were until mend levels up and all the avoidance skills as well (block, dodge, etc) along with double attack. I remember in live 30ish was when they really took off, although combos help a lot. Yeah I am planning on 2-boxing a shaman but wanted to get a feel for the game on one toon then catch it up and level together. Name is Vorisk in game as well as a side note. Oh and that article on the differences between live and SoD was extremely helpful!
 
Shaman monk is a great combo! But i think i've seen more Druid/monks than anything else for the DS, Regen, SoE, transportation etc! Give me a PM if yah need anything!
 
Come to think of it druid/monk would be useful for travel, I thinking (should shamans work the same or similar on SoD as to live) the Shaman would be good for haste/buffs and slows.

Shaman are not super OP here as they were on live. I played one on both servers, and I feel that shaman on live were more exciting. That said, my shaman here is mediocre, while my shaman on live was end game geared.
 
I did find the 70% slow on live to be a bit OP, mostly just enjoyed the haste lol. Got me thinking a druid may be best to get around quicker though. Also thanks for so much help. Even in game I have found players to be amazingly generous which is rare for games nowadays.
