i am a bit of a n00b - any recomendations i.e. servers, good characters and classes, etc?

A how to guide for the n00b?

Bloodhoof - PVE only server, Alliance side.

Good solo class for me has been a Nightelf hunter coz the pet can take agro quite easily and u can take mobs out @ range, that and the new hunter/pet skills/talents that are slowly finding their way to the game this class should become a v nice solo class.

<enter Delta and a PVE poofs rant>

thx Buddy .. I created one - all lthe good names have gone though Interface seems pretty intuitive - graphics are a bit pants or have I bought the plop version - DAoC was more impressive (braces self for flame)

But all in all it seems good fun - is it true you have to pay for skills Whats all that about is there ay follow command or stick comand like cammie

The novelty of /doh has worn off now Could be the beer though tomorrow I may see it in a different light

Pants compared to daoc O_o GOA has you brainwashed for sure. But the gfx do need getting used to tbh. We all had that in the beginning I think.

And yes, skills cost money, and lots of it as well. For starters you can get all skills, but when u progress in levels the costs go out of control. U'll learn which skills u use and which not so u can train up the ones u want and ignore others.
@ level 40 u can buy a mount which will cost 90g for training and the mount all together. Keep that target in mind while spending ur moneh

From level 10 onward u get talentpoints for each level, with those u can alter/enhance spell effects, durations, petskills and more. Here's a talentbuilder if u wanna take a peak @ whats what talentwise for a hunter

There's a follow command on players like in daoc, but the key isnt bound by default I think (u could try F coz thats what I use, not sure if its default tho). Check ur keybindings in options.

Never tried /doh myself, but just do /silly

Try to /w Lukel for an invite to cybergings and nag in guildchat
