Ahh, for those of us who have been immersed into its world for the past month or so, there is no cure. Fight long and hard against its clutches to stay sane. And if you need a little help at it, well perhaps you have come to the right place. In my limited time with my page, I have only managed a Guide to playing a Bard. Later on I will post more information and you can learn with me.
Ok, If you want to find out all about the weapons and magics available, I suggest you hit EQvault or EQSS because they are chock full of exactly what you need.
QUICK TIPS:
I have found that stamina is a waste of stat points when creating a character. You would be much advised to spend them in agility or atleast strength if you need a lot of room for carrying loot, which gets darn heavy later on.
Also, If you really have to fight that gamble, or even fight at some lvls, STAY NEAR A ZONE EXIT. It can save your butt and lots of times other players are around and would be willing to heal you or help you if you just ask!
