Take Your Hands off the Wheel...We're
Goin' In!
Sometimes waiting for the next great MMO to come along invokes feelings
of exasperation, not to mention impatience. Last night, I chose to
stave off the waiting game by logging onto the EverQuest progression
servers. This afternoon, I waited through a monumental update, and then
logged into EverQuest 2. What gives? Nostalgia seems to be spreading
around the Ten Ton Hammer network, and I've caught the bug.

progression servers. Being a newb again sounded like fun, but I wasnt
prepared for just how newbish I would turn out to be. After all, I did
choose to make a druid character-since I dont intend to play for any
significant length of time, I figured it made sense to go with a class
I knew intimately-and I was certain that Id be able to go out,
dressed in my skimpy 'old model' green Wood Elf teddy, and battle my
way through the Greater Faydark in no time. Instead I found myself
running to the guards to avoid a thrashing from a yellow con bat, and
getting lost in Kelethin while trying to find my trainer at the Druid
Guild.
