Congratulations, Curtis.. Your personal life will start suffering very
soon from this highly addictive game.

After you play eq a while, you will see that each race has very strong
points, and all develop very powerful, the key I have found, is pick a
race you like.. Dont worry about your progression, you will BE powerful
if you hit higher levels, its all a matter of it fitting your playstyle.
Wisdom=Life for a cleric, its where we get our mana, at lower levels we
will be able to stand in the front lines with the warriors and dish it
out, but later, we just cant take the beating, while we do MUCH better
than the Fragile mage classes (Wizard, Magician, etc) even WE cant take
the massive ammounts of damage those monsters dish out. So, our role is
a medic, to preform, you need high wisdom. I personally chose a Erudite
because I dont plan to be doing much fighting (low strength/stamina) but
super high Intel(Rate at which I learn skills) and wisdom... And,
because I think they look the coolest all decked out. :) (Just me)

=)

Enjoy the game Curtis
