Guest, it's time once again for the massively important and exciting FoH Asshat Tournament!
Go here and give us your nominations!Who's been the biggest Asshat in the last year? Give us your worst ones!
The night is dark and full of terrors, but not quite as dark and quite as full of terrors as it was in 1999 so I wouldn't worry about it.

Why?
Are they removing the newbie zone gear quests this go around? I got some dagger before level 10 that was better than anything you would have seen in original EQ until around level 35.

Yes, and they are the only Shaman that can get the Snare item. Shaman + Snare is pretty sick. Troll Shaman is a no-brainer.

Yes, all the newbie quests are gone. You're gonna be running with the lovely classic tarnished weapon > giant snake fang > whatever drop you can happen to win the lottery on that you'll use until Kunark comes out.

That dude is level 30something and if you think for a second any random melee that doesn't have a pre-existing guild/support system is seeing anything like that sword until naggy and vox are long dead then I don't know what to tell you.
Even assuming you win the lotto and score one of the like 3 decent weapons that exist before the end game, you're still only worth what, half a mage pet and a quarter of a mage+pet?

That's my point, you're looking at vox/nag/god drops before anything approaching a decent weapon is even a possibility. Sure, there's 13/30 available on Vox for rogues to use, but what do you do for the 50 levels of shit before that? Rock SBD for weeks/months until you pity your way in to a raid and maybe win a roll?
Dragons/gods will be dead before most are even at level 50, why suffer with being a charity melee? Play something easy for now, save some cash, wait for Kunark then roll your knights etc.

People have been testing that - they broke the code - it doesn't block extra HTs anymore, and won't be fixed anytime soon.

Fists are actually worse at most level ranges - they're good in a few though.

I think my min/max nature is getting the best of me and I'm just going to end up biting the bullet and rolling Troll. My only reluctance is that I never bothered with any of the evil races until the end of PoP, when faction/race really didn't matter at all. I know it mattered less and less with each expansion, but leveling areas, merchants, etc. are all things that I'm mostly clueless on in classic.
