Subject: Re: [EverQuest] some encouragement for a humble newb


Yeah, you'll like WC hunting at your level. You can
solo or do a derv or orc group. Befallen is cool when
you get a little more exp under your belt.

As far as being a newb goes, no worries. Have fun,
its a game, and you are paying for it. If others
don't like your style of play for whatever reason, who
cares? There's several hundred thousand accounts
active out there. Find someone else to play with :)
