lost in FreeportFollow

I just thought of another question to add to my previous question. Is there anyway to turn off the message in red that my inventory is almost full? I am assuming it is referring to my bank inventory which is full. My personal inventory only has two bags and they are empty except for food and water. Since I am new to the game I have no idea if I will be needing the things stored in my bank. Mostly things that were foraged (gahtered), fished, or hunted.

As for the sites with maps I found those. See my webpage and check out the EQ sites. Scroll down to the bottom for some EQ II sites. If anyone knows of a hot one I am missing please let me know.

If you have done your citizenship, then just click Call of Overlord (something like that) hotkey. That will zone you back to your home town, then press alt+w, select the inn and following the funny lights.

If you havent done your citizenship, then you can tell which town you should be in from your class i think. Gnomes are temple street - i know that.

When you look in your inventory, look at the picture of your character. I bet on the bottome left, there will be an item. This is your overflow slot. Once you take that item out of your overflow slot, the message will go away.

I am starting to figure things out slowly.

I have another question though. The few times that I have grouped with people and there seems to be little or no communication. I make suggestions and ask what they want me to do and get silence. Only once did I group with someone who actually seemed to know what he was doing. He suggested I pull and he heal which made perfect since considering our classes. I have also used the /ooc, /say, /tell, and /shout commands to get only silence. I had one fool who kept inviting me to group with him. The first two times I gave him a tell and explained that I couldn't but thanked him. He gave me 3 more invites before he got the hint.

I am only up to level 13 but have only been playing outside of the Isle since the 13th. I had also noticed this same trend there. Do people just not talk back and forth in EQ2? It's not like there is never anyone in the zone I am in either.

I wouldn't spend money on a game guide from Amazon. You can get everything you need from the web.

Here's some useful links:

To get a group, put up your /lfg tag by typing, "/lfg". You will see the tag appear over your name.

You can also click it on/off using the icon at the top left of the screen. It looks like a yellow exclamation mark. Next to it is a yellow magnifying glass. That brings up the LFG window showing you who is lfg. If you want to look for groupmates, bring up the LFG window, select "this zone", and you'll get a list. You can also sort it by level, name, and class.

I agree the city can be pretty quiet. Once you move out to the Commonlands, there will be plenty folks talking and lfg'ing.

Your job in a group will be pretty standard, almost identical to EQ1. If your a Fighter class, you'll tank. Healers heal, Scouts and Mages are DPS.

I've been in groups that said almost nothing, and they were all business. Very fast pulls with very fast exp gain. Other groups have been more social, and much slower.

You may also want to look into joining a guild. Make sure you interview many folks, asking them about their guild to ensure it's one that suits you.

Good luck!
