I have characters on both (Stromm would have to be considered my second
main, I suppose) that I haven't played in quite some time. Any regulars
from those servers care to speak up on what the populations are like there
these days? My highest level on Stromm is a 40 shaman, while ...

Where can I read up on the commands allowed in macros?

i just got a lappy and i put EQ on it ... and it ran alright, but then, just
recently - i guess since the new patcher's skin came about, the one
advertising serpent's spine - the patcher won't load
the tiny screen that comes up instead of the patcher comes up and freezes on

Renewbie here.  I seem to be able to bind keys to hotbar 1 but not hotbar 2.
Is that function broken or am I doing something wrong?  I click
EQ/options/keys/hotbar2/hotbutton1, then put A in it.  I put hide in
hotbutton1.  When I hit A I should hide but nothing happens.  If I do ...

This is a noob rogue quest.  You go see a NE lady in freeport harbor and she
tells you theres a chest sunk in the harbor -- near sharks.  I've looked all
over the harbor and havent found it or any sharks.  I even researched the
coordinates at allakhazam but its not there.  Maybe ...

I have a very cyclical life; part of the year, I have a lot of free
time, hanging out with practically no money, I play a lot of computer
games, watch TV, and do some work I won't see any money for for months.
Part of the year, I'm away, working in locations where there are no

So, about a month after the progression servers opened up, I attempted to
create a character using a name I often use - nothing too common. It's
rejected. Bummer. I just figured someone else had taken it.
A week or so ago, I tried to create that same character again, and, what do

Was just over at EQPlayers, and queried players of each of the classes.
These counts should be accurate +- 10, as I just took the number of pages
of results and multiplied that times 20 results per page - 10 to estimate
the last page result count. Also, I did the math in my head ...

Been away for about 2 years (after having played it since release).  Bought
the titanium edition to catch up, which gains me a couple expansions and
hopefully I wont need to download so much patch.  Where can I go to get good
information about classes/skills etc?  I still have ...

Ok I have been playing EQ for years over a firewall, and until Saturday
never had a problem. Well at first I thought it was a "stuck
character", but after about 5 moves and a call to SoE Tech Support on
Monday, it was obvious that there was a firewall problem, but it made

I'n not an expert puller.  By no stretch of the imagination.
However, I've done some, and seen it done, at least in relatively simple
situations.
My mage used to pull a lot in outdoor groups, for example; with a SOW

I can't believe I'm bringing this up again, but my understanding of how
haste works has again been questioned, and I thought I'd bring it up
here and see if I've got something wrong.
Here's how I think it works;

I'm having a problem using EQ in windowed mode.  When I first boot up
the client, and I have it in windowed mode by default, it's fine.  If
I switch to full screen, either via the Options->Display->Switch to
Fullscreen button, or by typing Alt+Enter (usually by mistake!), and

I recently reinstalled Windows XP.  Everything, for the most part,
seems to function alright with one exception: that mouse problem that a
lot of people had when they set up the game to use the system mouse.
As some will recall, the mouse would work in windowed mode but not

My main is a 59 bard on FV. I've really enjoyed the class over the years,
but I kind of ran into a wall in the past year or so. The first guild I
was in basically out-levelled me when I took a break for six months or
so, so I set out to play catch-up. I was in my low-40's and ...
