Zone overload! (Back after a year and I am LOST!!!)

[Fellgaze]

<p>Hulloo all!</p><p>I haven't played Eq2 since pre Echoes of Faydwer. I recently decided I needed some dragons and magic back in my life, so I picked up the Rise of Kunark all-in-one expansion. I have a level 50 Paladin on the Butcherblock server and, well....I'm at a loss. Where to go, what to do? Does anyone venture into the Kingdom of Sky or Desert of Flames expansion areas? Is there anything for my Pally to do in the Faydwer or Kunark expansions? There's...ok, I'm a deer in the headlights. I log in and look at my (old) quests in my journal and wonder if anyone still bothers with Restoring Ghoulbane, or going to Deathfist Citadel or....yeah. I'm at a loss. Not saying that having so many options is a bad thing, but it tends to get a bit overwhelming.</p><p> Any suggestions?</p>

First off, welcome back!!!!To answer some of your questions, I don't think RoK offers anything for your level. It seems to me that there is 1-20ish content (for the new race) and then 65ish+ content up to level 80 in the new expansion. So I don't think you have to even bother wit it on you 50 pally - not until you gain a few more levels <img src="/smilies/3b63d1616c5dfcf29f8a7a031aaa7cad.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" />I play alts and usually see (on Befallen anyways) about 10 or so people in the lower zones (Zek, EL, Feerrott, and even PoF)  every now and then but not very many unless its a weekend.Many people (at least I do) still do the HQs. Need that status to buy the cool horses/wargs <img src="/smilies/3b63d1616c5dfcf29f8a7a031aaa7cad.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" />
