Hints:

For players who are new to EverQuest, it's vital that you take your time and start on an easy server. Work your way up gradually and don't rush the process.

This is a bit sneaky, but if you're having trouble seeing where to go in the pitch black of night, simply turn up the gamma levels in the display options for "glow in the dark" graphics.

When exploring Velious, keep your wits about you and be sure to take in what you see, as getting lost in the snow is a distinct possibility
