I am beginning to play EQ and need to know what is the name of the
newest "raw" server not populated with imports from other servers. I
wish to start on the "newest" world; the one with the most immature
economy not drowned in platinum.

I'm not sure, but I think the one I play on, Vazaelle, didn't have a split
and is the most recent (Jan 2001 or so?)

The most recent virgin server is Vaezelle; I had a friend take a weeks
vacation when the server opened up, just so he could could be one of the
first uber DE necros. Xev was a split (from Povar) and the newest server,
Zerbo-something, was also a split.

Well, Sullon Zek would be the obvious answer, as you did not specify PVP or
non-PVP.

Tholuxe Paells, I think, was the most recent fresh server.

...and don't mind being surrounded by people who do things
like write "ballz" instead of "balls" and can't spell simple
words like "patience", and you don't mind going through
punctuation withdrawal.

Yes, Sullon Zek is the latest server to open up, having just been open since
this past Wednesday afternoon.

Pretty exciting there, the first couple of days when rawhide armor, giant
snake fangs, and wolf skin cloaks were considered 'uber'...hehe. People
auctioning off tarnished weapons and rat shaped rings, and desperate to get
ruined cat pelts for medium sized patchwork.

But for a first time player, I wouldn't recommend it. It promises to be
quite brutal, especially for a player who is just learning the world around
them.

Oh I tried PvP. Before the "safe 6 levels" patch. It was simply:
"hello do I need to give that book to the pod still?"
Soandso screams a fearsome battlecry !
Soandso attacks YOU for 50 damage
Soandso attacks YOU for 45 damage
You die
LOADING PLEASE WAIT
-- Thinks hmm, must have been some sort of jerk --
-- Going for corpse run to retrieve his initial equipment --
-- looting own corpse --
anothersoandso attacks YOU for 9 damage
anothersoandso kicks YOU for 1 damage
anothersoandso attacks YOU for 9 damage
anothersoandso attacks YOU for 10 damage
... (only got drinks from corpse and was halfway with health when I finally
hit the attack button)
You die
LOADING PLEASE WAIT
-- Oh great --

Well after 5 deaths and 3 other chars to check out other newbie zones I gave
up and

Might check the team PvP sometimes although I heard there still are too many
d00ds there to have a decent conversation.

I disagree. The economy on Vazaelle, an eight month old "raw" server, is is
definitely not "drowned in platinum". Prices are half or less what I see
quoted on web pages.

Kind of like MSRP I know.

They are also less than my friend on an original server reports. Let's see
what I can remember paying lately: Stein of Moggok 100pp, Savant's cap 30pp,
Robe of the Keeper 40pp, +4int necklace (gold saphire?) 45pp.

Low end cheap stuff I know. But I'm low end and cheap. So what do these
items go for on some of the older servers?
