What you have missed

Installing EverQuest

For many expansions now SoE only had Digital Download for new expansions. So there are no more discs to buy at the store. This is bad news for those of you with slow connection because you will have to download EverQuest. Go to this SoE website and follow these directions from SOE's CS people. 1. Create a new folder for your EverQuest game to be installed into: A. Double-click on My Computer B. Double-click on Local Disk (C) (You may need to click on "Show the contents of this disk") C. Double-click on Program Files (You may need to click on "Show the contents of this folder") D. Click on FILE-->New-->Folder (at the top of the window) and name the folder EverQuest 3. Move the patcher into the EverQuest folder by double-clicking on EverQuest.zip. 4. Right-click on EverQuest.exe and choose "Cut" 5. Switch to the EverQuest directory you just made, and right-click inside it. Choose "Paste" 6. Right-click on EverQuest.exe that is now inside the EverQuest folder you just made, and choose "Send to Desktop (create shortcut)" 7. Delete the file EverQuest.zip from your Desktop, then double-click on Shortcut to EverQuest.exe 8. This will patch all of the files for you

Where are my characters?

SoE tends to keep characters around for many many years in hopes you'll return

When SOE did the server merge, they wiped out lower level characters (level 10 and lower) if those characters had not been logged in the last 6 months prior to the merge.

If you had a character name that was the same as somebody on the server being merged, they would give the name to the person who created the character first. The other person would have the letter “x” added to his name. So if you had 2 people named Eragorn, one would become Eragornx.

Expansions and Expansions Guides

Currently there are 18 expansions. And no, you do not have to pay an arm and a leg for each expansion you don't have. Go to SOE's website and click the Veil of Alaris bundle. You'll get every expansion including the very most recent expansion for only $40.

Tutorial

EQ has added a new Tutorial, if you're been out for several years I recommend making a level 1 character and do the tutorial, it will help you get familiarized with the game and its commands.

Important help websites

EQ's official site -- Where devs post about the game. Allakhazam -- Items / quests / spells / mobs Lucy -- Items / Spells EQ Resource HoT and VoA website Rasper's Multi Expansion Guide GamParse -- A good log parsing program. (to see what your dps is, and other useful tools.) EQ UserInterface -- EQ's number 1 interface site EQ Traders -- EQ's number 1 tradeskill site Mapfiend -- Good site for maps EQ Wiki -- Quests / Spells / Items Guild Progression -- High End Guild Progression Chart GuildPortal -- Guild Creation / Search website RaidLoot -- Useful tool for planning loot in raids [1]Magelo -- A widely used site to show off your gear EQrankings -- A site that ranks your magelo against other's magelo WTF Comics -- A very well done story about a group in EQ GU Comics -- A funny comic website about MMOs

New races/classes

In Shadow's of Luclin SOE created a new class and race. The race is the Vah Shir. They are cat like people with cute fuzzy tails. The class that was created was the Beastlord. A beastlord is like the melee version of a mage. They have a pet, though the pet is a lot weaker, but the Beastlord can melee and cast spells.

In Legacy of Ykesha SOE created the race of Frogloks. They are as you guessed frog people. They do cute backflips when you cast and melee. Very scary.

In Gates of Discord SOE created a new Class called the Berserker. They are a chain pure melee. They rival rogues in their dps and (lack) of utility.

In The Serpents Spine SOE created a new race called the Drakkin. Humans that have a touch of Dragonblood in their veins. They look like human, but they have a dragon AE cone breath racial ability that scales with levels.

The Lingo is confusing me!
