Stupid theoretical question about Combine serverFollow

So, will the new server have the new tutorial?

I pose the question because I have an untwinked charrie still in the tutorial and was going to try to run through the "old zones" last night to get a taste of what it might be like when the new server launches.

And I thought to myself, "Well, if there is to be no tutorial, then I'm already cheating, with my armor, money and weapons gleaned there."

It won't make that much difference since the race/class specific armour will be in game and that in itself gives players a major head start over what was availible when EQ began.

Give it a try some practice is better than no practice.

Ok, I decided to come back. I have a question about the new server and figured I would ask here instead of starting a new thread. Are all the races/classes going to be in at start or do the extras unlock with the expansions?

Sorry if this has already been asked/answered. I am being lazy.

I'm pretty sure that, no, they won't be available until that expansion comes up.

No, those races/classes will not be avilable.

No, the tutorial will NOT be enabled.

It was actually formally stated that yes, the tutorial will be enabled as they do not want to deprive new players of the ability to learn the game easier that the tutorial provides. As soon as I can find exactly where I read that then I will post it.

Great .. now I have to reshearch all the old race/class specific armor relating to the first 3 expansions to find out. Was gonna have to anyway .. I cant thaink that far back I have EQ Altzhimers.

A super easy way to get a spread of what old world newbie armor quests are out there;

Click "Item Lookup" on the Items / Equipment section.

Search for word "Initiate"

This covers a few races and many classes hometown newbie quest armors, maybe more.

Thanks for the go to list Komzur. Man are we in truble..
Oh BTW .. I am guessing that the nifty slot1 type7 aug slot thingy will be missing from all of that armor. At least I dont remember being able to aug armor way back when.

Oh what the heck .. leave the stupid aug slot in the armor .. some of us may still be wearing the stuff by the time LDoN xpac gets unlocked... right .. or is this starting to confuse anyone else!

second edit ... This sounds like a patch before the server even gets started.
Hey they might even have a group of GM's pass out augs and stand by a portable bird bath ...

Soory i was a little unclear about what i ment.

This is the newbie quest i was refering too, they are race/class spacific and where added in a patch so are not an "expansion" feature. they are however much better than what was around for lvl 10's when i started (Velious release)

it's pretty high up on the ratio table if you exclude all expansions.. that dagger is probably going to be as good as a non raiding rogue is going to get on this server for a long while.

As far as my understanding it will be EQ day 1.

Will the boats be there? I hope so but who knows but everything should be in place as it was when EQ first was opened.. Original EQ no expansions at first and cultural armor is null.... Hopefully they will just use the original package to release it and keep all the original loot in game.. so you will start to see everyone scatter for elder beads when kunark is open haha and hopefully have new people that dont even know what a manastone is being able to loot and use them.
I remember the days watching everyone use one that never had one before killing themselfs over and over till they got the hang of it haha including me!!!
