EQOA: Sandstorm Beginners Guide

[@EQOAnostalgia]

I likely forgot some things, already off the top of my head, go into settings and turn Auto Attack ON. Also there is a option for keyboard to change from Standard to Compact for less screen clutter when typing. If the community remembers anything useful, please feel free to reply to this comment.

Hey buddy, thank you again for all the content and nostalgic videos you've created for us EQOA Lifers... lol I have a huge favor to ask... I'm having an issue with every existing and new memory cards I've tried to create. The original card worked fine until I attempted to log into another account at the same time using that same memory card. The next time I attempted to log in, it stated that the card had corrupt data. I wasn't able to create a new card and transfer the uncorrected data from the original one, so I created one from scratch, but all it does at the start game screen is read the card, then read the card, and again and again lol. Any suggestions at all would be greatly appreciated.

@@phillipmorris6629 Hey man, it's my pleasure thanks for being here! I would suggest asking these fellers discord.gg/zXe5sWsE They have more tech savvy folk who can tell you how to fix it.

Was me and my wife's first MMO. We had to get a second PS2 and TV to not fight over playtime, lol. We're still friends with someone we met on Castle Lightwolf server. All Necromancer groups were Godly.

[@Nitrous2OH]

All mage groups were better. ;)

[@phillipmorris6629]

Hey buddy, what were your names on CLW? Was my main server before jumping around Hagley test server. Omniwar, Chopstixx, Puppetreaver, Theexorcist, Kalaboss...

I sold my account before game was sunset. Heard the person who bought my account wasn't as nice as me, lol.

One of the devs was on one day talking about adding new content in the future. He said he was working on 8 new races to be added, but was having issue with the UI so they might end up adding a permanent change to a already existing character, maybe something like a quest. Races he listed were frogloks, kerrans, iksar, undead and some others that are escaping my memory now.

[@dglenn803]

They have done amazing work with this! As always great video I learned a thing or two and ive been on Sandstorm since it launched!

[@EQOAnostalgia]

Thanks, glad it helped 😀

[@Strangej67]

Thanks for the video man! I like to hop in and level a bit just for nostalgia sake. I haven’t been on since the cap increase tho 😅

[@EQOAnostalgia]

No doubt, thanks for the support.

[@greenfire9402]

i love the eq2 character selection music

[@EQOAnostalgia]

Yeah EQ2 has some great music.

[@Rebourn135]

Pinned it in an EQOA channel in my DIscord. Might not get any interest, but there's 50 more eyes.

[@EQOAnostalgia]

Thank you. I appreciate that.

[@terrysimms1790]

Ohh my inner child is screaming at me right now...i will see you soon in tunaria.😊

[@EricLDC]

What's up dude? Ive been catching up on sleep lol It was cool to finally meet you the other day. The eq2 music. I lost my character i can't get them back sony wants a secret question i never put up. Far as i know...

[@johnmane6269]

Imo they should just wipe items.

[@AyCorey]

Great vid. -Wrilt

[@Avylyn]

Hey just throwing this out there, dont forgoet about the eqoa revival discord. I know they aren't sandstorm specific but this community started there and lots of good people and lots of good discussions going on.

[@EQOAnostalgia]

They forgot about me, so i forgot about them. kzbin.info/www/bejne/qHumfqCNhrqYapY

[@mcculloughimagery4952]

a wizard with a necro pet sign me up! lol

[@sheddjake]

Nice staff.. I wonder where you got it :D - Rcherry

[@EQOAnostalgia]

Nerfed already lol.

[@Nitrous2OH]

So is master class the only way to unlock pets for mage currently? The mage quest NPCs aren't there yet I take it?

[@EQOAnostalgia]

No, you get pets as usual. CM's just make them more powerful.

[@EricLDC]

Hey man I'm on I'm Mayuka or anything Cire related. Take care. I'm on ciresmage right now

[@silentslayergaming8469]

Hey I started as a paladin. I talked to some spirit guide woman and she made me go on a quest to find a "charter" or something. this is like the third quest in the game lol, I deleted the quest from my log on accident and now I have no idea where to go. any advice on where to find your next quest lol

[@Xraller]

I've noticed you cant sell Items to merchants to get money to get things to complete quests. Is that just not set up?

[@EQOAnostalgia]

No tunar yet. I mentioned that towards the end of the video. Quests don't require it or drink/food either.

[@johnmane6269]

It's a waste of time, imo 😢 Most people already have the knowledge, I guess. For now, it's just to log in and go for a nostalgia run, but don't get burned out.

[@johnmane6269]

So it looks like they plan to do a character wipe😢 idk if I want to spend too much time on toons now.

[@EQOAnostalgia]

Definitely doing a wipe. We've had it really easy compared to live, and they'll want us all to start at the same time. I do wish exp was faster though so i can test out more classes/builds before it's all over. Just try to have fun and remember/learn as much as you can for the real deal.

[@johnmane6269]

@@Bluebloods7 Oh yeah, I know but I don't think it's right for them to make us grind stuff if it's just a test server and they plan to wipe everything. I want to test things not grind to test things.

[@johnmane6269]

@@Bluebloods7 That a serious question? You got to grind if you want to test CM abilities/level abilities and even see what the mobs do in higher level content....

[@johnmane6269]

You even have to grind for the were quests but at least that kind of makes sense to see if the infection mechanic is working but having to grind faction lol is kind of funny considering you won't be keeping any hours you waste grinding to obtain the were forms.

[@dglenn803]

I'd like to see a definite answer from the dev team to be honest. They have skirted around the answer even in the Sand storm discord.

[@sonnikdoh2510]

Okay, how do I manually setup speed load screens? I'm on 1.7

[@EQOAnostalgia]

Idk, i play on 1.6. Too many issues with 1.7 imo.

[@Tall_Order]

Find mob, click tele... oh wait. Lol

[@mdhall04]

I still dont know how to even download this lol

[@EQOAnostalgia]

Just refer to the guides for setup in the description.

[@Parasite_Eve_1776]

Great guide, more guides, the better for our game. Still dont know how i feel about showing exactly where mobs are. I hope they can make a shared bank between characters

[@EQOAnostalgia]

Thanks, i always forget things with such videos though lol.
