New to WR, and mostly new to EQ, what class?

When did the Newport to Erudin boat break? I just took it both ways a week ago.

It wasn't working a couple days ago, but as far as I know it's working now - I used it yesterday.
 
I just got into the whole MMORPG genre later than most people. Shadowbane was my first MMORPG. I'm used to having mouse overs that tell me useful info and things like that. EQ wasn't the most user-friendly game back in the day. In WoW and Shadowbane, mobs won't chase you very far. They lose interest and run or teleport back to their spawn point. In EQ, live and WR, mobs will chase you across an entire zone. I'm not big on having to camp rare spawns, and I don't like how long it takes to regen/med. WR seems to be a bit faster than EQL at regen, but it's still painfully slow compared to WoW or Shadowbane. MMORPGs have gotten dumbed down for the masses, but I like it. EQ is more for the hardcore crowd.

Since I'm really bored atm and I'm not playing any other games, I'll give EQWR another shot tonight I guess. If I can get out of the god-forsaken Mistwoods then it may be more enjoyable. I don't think I was ever going to get my faction up enough to make it through Erudin to the boat. I was just frustrated that EQ would allow you to create a race/class combo that wouldn't work and I managed to pick it. :lol:

Thanks Wiz.
 
A wizard named McShanzy graciously ported me to Everfrost for free. I offered what money I had, but he refused to take all of my money. I'm now trekking to Centaur Hills. Thanks again! :D

EDIT:
OMFG, I was medding by the zone line between Blackburrow and Everfrost and I went afk bio. When I came back a gnoll had killed me and I was back in Mistwoods. It was like a bad dream when I came back and saw that I was in Mistwoods. ;( I opened a new petition to have my bind point set to Newport sewers or Centaur Hills. I assume that I need a spell to do that myself. When I played EQL, there were NPCs called "soulbinders". Do they exist in EQWR?

EDIT:
Just learned that it's /cmd bind. ;(

EDIT:
I'm rerolling, this is dumb. I've already wasted 7 hours, I'm not wasting another minute in Mistwoods.

Didn't you tell me you had ooc filtered and was yelling weird stuff out Aenluen?

Yeah, I was completely making an ass of myself, and I didn't know ooc was even serverwide >.<
 
I left my petition open to have my bind moved to Centaur Hills or Newport Sewers. In the meantime, I rolled a dark elf necro. I'm not KOS in my own city! My other necro is level 7 and is still using the newbie dagger and the two spells I started with because I can't buy anything else. :lol:

These things are expected. I'm still quite impressed by everything else considering this is an emulated server. My biggest issue with EQL is the slow leveling, and WR makes it less painful.
 
You have yet to find out the best parts of WR - Quests! Not lame garbage quests like in EQL. Excellent stuff. Glad you decided to stick around.
 
Man, screw all that running and taking the boat just to get to the newport area, an area where there are actually people mucking about. I just made a human and it's been great. Not to mention the exp. bonus is fun stuff.

I've done two quests, and have yet to start the third. I want to, but it's not spoiled anywhere... and we all know how much of an attention span I have for quests that aren't spoiled to the point where I know where to go, how long it's going to take, and what I get in the end.
