If your computer is set up to auto play discs, the installation should begin on its own within a minute. Otherwise you can start the installation by opening My Computer, double-clicking on the DVD-ROM drive where the disc is located, and then double-clicking on the EverQuest II icon. Follow the instructions given by the setup program to complete the installation. [. . . ] Equipment Damage When killed, your character's equipment suffers 10% damage. If left unrepaired, an item's durability can reach zero and become unusable. Find a mender, often located in cities and towns, to repair your equipment. You can check the condition of your equipment at any time by moving your mouse pointer over an item in your inventory. Recovering from Death You can bounce back from tragedy to overcome the effects of dying. None of the detriments suffered through death are permanent. You will be weak temporarily after death, whether you were revived or got a resurrection from another player character (PC). This weakness will affect your statistics, but it will pass after a short period of time. QUESTING At the heart of EverQuest II is the quest. The inhabitants of Norrath are often in need of help with a task or problem, and some will reward you handsomely for your assistance. You may also discover items during your adventures that will unlock quests. The Quest Journal You can open your Quest Journal by pressing the [J] key. At the top are tabs for Active quests, Collection quests, and Completed quests. If you are grouped, a fourth tab will appear to show you quests that members of your group have in common with you. Check boxes will mark off objectives of the quest as you complete them. When all parts of a quest are checked, your journal will update with instructions on what you should do next (for example, return to the original quest-giver to collect your reward). When you complete a quest, it is moved to your completed quests page. You can shorten your list of quests by hiding a quest entry. Select it and click the "Hide" button. You may also delete a quest from your Quest Journal by selecting it and clicking the "Delete" button. You can sort quests by current zone or type. 33 Note: You can have a maximum of 75 active quests in your journal at one time. You will receive a message telling you that your journal is full if you attempt to take any more quests before completing some of those you already have. Collection quests do not count against the total. [. . . ] You will send your notice to Sony Online Entertainment, 8928 Terman Court, San Diego, CA 92121 Attn: Legal Department.
