Hi, if any of you plan on playing Everquest, there are some points you should consider. This isn't to discourage you, by the way. It's a great game, if you have the time.

(in a way)

there are four base classes in Everquest, out of 12 i think, which will always be needed. Warriors, Clerics, Enchanters, and Rogues. Magicians, Necromancers(my fav), Rangers, Paladins, Shadow Knights, Wizards (my main character), Bards, Shamen, Monks, and Druids are those "would be nice to have" classes. Unlike BG saga, when you chose a wizard you won't get the same as a mage in BG. a Wizard in Everquest serves one main purpose: Deal lots of damage fast.(they also get to teleport all over the place and "bind") However, EQ staff did not develop this character well. Baldur's Gate has many, many items to improve a mage's efficiency. EQ has one. items that increase your mana pool. There are no items that will reduce the cost of spells, the casting time of spells, etc. In all games i played a play a wizard, EQ was no exception. I love my character, however plz consider that classes in EQ are not as balanced as they are in BG. Also, playing warriors is even more boring then in BG. Once again, this is not to discourage you from Everquest, just a foreshadowing of things to come. Enjoy!

P.S. If you plan on starting EQ, check out the Morell Thule server. I'm Ianarie, lvl 38 wizzie - Nuker, Cabbie, Life Saver.

P.P.S. Druids are a LOT more powerful then in BG.
