Way ahead of ya. I figured out what I did and immediately changed it to Q

I type "semi"-fast and sloppy (40wpm) and it is very hard getting used to hitting "Enter" First!! It is usually the last key one hits.

Trials and Tribulations, those that stick at it, usually find that its worth it in the long haul, and EQ has so much depth of game, once you find your place you will be here for a while to come.

Does sound like you are getting to grips with it.

Welcome to the game, Wymyn. Sounds like you are actually learning it like a lot of us did, and maybe learning it better since you are asking for advice. Good for you! I was afraid of everyone and everything my first month or so, and nearly didn't come back after beta. Glad I did as the people are great and the game has been fun on many different levels.

And I learned something from you - I had no idea that a necro could walk around Qeynos without getting killed, talking to Paladins no less!!!

EQMAC - play it, don't flame it.

Lots of lots have quit =).

Most of the players who have been around since 2003 or 2004 have gone through the difficult grind of progressing through the game without twinking or powerlevelling. I think those experiences tend to keep people around. 90-95% of the people quitting the game now have started playing in the last year.

Whatever you chose I'm sure you'll have fun. Goodluck to you!

Eventually you may start your typing using a command (i.e. /say Oh look, it's Hebabbilys the Ragelord, /poke Mechaike, /consent Rysia, /tell Zygor Rezz please, /tar Stamm's corpse, /follow).

The "/" key starts the typing in the chat window without having to hit enter first.

Eventually you start doing it (/gu, /say, /t, /rs) when IMing in RL...

Could not log on for the last couple of nights and next week I'll be back to days for the rest of the year.

Someone said last night about windows mode and going into my INI file and setting it to true ... I did that and I found that MIP Mapping was on.

I put that to False and I was able to increase my screen resolution to the highest setting again.
Now All I need to do is get my new interface loaded and I'll be set until the next "must do" thing.

I think I was a little to quick to critize someone last night. if that person is reading ... sorry bout that.
I asked for how to go into windows mode and got a wize crack answer and I jumped on the poor slob. How was he to know that I had spent the day trying to get my wife to figure it out while at work and had to hear about what a pain I am and not to ask her to help with the game anymore and blah blah ...

So, sorry.

Tonight I hope to try the invis run to get that mask. I got the book and I hope to get the maps to make it. We shall see.

Wow, I just started too...but ... what jail? I entered in Rivervale.....

He is a evil Human Necro and you are a non evil halfling. He deserved the jail time you don't.
