I originally played during the LDON era for a very short period of time. I was rather young and didn't know what a pvp server was when I picked it. The game was very immersive but the constant pvping was an annoyance especially when I didn't have much time to play. I stopped shortly after hitting lvl 65 and getting a few dozen AA. I logged in to my one and only account about 2 weeks ago in the Zek server and found it to be rather dead. Asking questions in the general chat wasn't helpful at all. You would think that a low population server would welcome new/returning players but instead I got idiotic responses. I left pok to do the hotzone quest only to be met by a player trying to kill my toon who had earlier told me to do those to level up. I gated back to pok and logged out.
I tried the test server and the community there is completely different. I'm sure a part of their generosity stems from being able to hand out copies of their items but the people themselves (except for a few oddballs) have been very kind and informative. I made a few accounts on test to mess around with different classes and have been letting the mercenaries do all my dirty work for me as I get familiar with eq again. This led me to want to try multi boxing so I searched google and found this place. I was wondering if you guys have a trial version of your program? I don't know if I'm going to be playing long term or whether I should play on a normal server over test so I don't want to sub right away. If you guys have any suggestions on what server is best to start with and what kind of class setup up I should have for my first group please let me know. I picked test since it's gold membership but it feels like cheating with all the plat/items floating around. The classes I have in mind are war/cleric/bard/wizard.
