You're ported back to yourself in 1999...

[sox7d]

when then game went live and you've forgotten all knowledge of the future except for what you know about EQ now.

How do you rule Norrath?

[Enxienty]

Keep quiet about everything known from the game, so the mysterious feeling of EverQuest that gave its Immersion is still kept within the players

[Portasaurus]

The same exact thing would happen again.

I would spend about a year leveling up a Wood Elf Ranger to ~22, then my mom would stop paying for it and I would be forced to go outside and do sports things and other real-life activities with actual, alive, present human beings.

[Pheer]

predict EQ's future to everyone who will listen in game and on internet forums

once the machines take over the world youll be known as the oracle and everyone will look to you for guidance

[Swish]

The same exact thing would happen again.

Took me months to level a bard to 35, then got sick of dying in Lower Guk from song aggro and decided to keep hopping to new servers they put up (Lanys, Luclin, Tholuxe, Antonius Bayle (EU), Kane Bayle (EU), Venril Sathir (EU) :D)

...wasted so much time playing every class to 15 or something :p

Thisx100,000,000. All classes to 12-15, Bard to 29, Rogue to 23. Nothing could change.

[Kluren]

I'd be lovingly arguing with my IT manager dad.. Yes, Everquest will last forever! Really, it will. Nothing will replace it! :) I never will forget the day when he first told me about a cool and upcoming game.

I'd also be showing my little sis how to play.

Sigh... Days gone by.

[lazcar]

Make a necro and beat furor to first worldwide level 50.
Make a warrior and a raiding guild and box 3-4 clerics.. FArm mobs like tmo use to here.. Rmt... Invest money irl into atvi.. Profit

[Reguiy]

I'd 2 box invis pull fungi tunics and pee into bottles 24/7 until they nerfed it. Then I'd RMT the money and invest in WoW. Then I'd hire hot female maids with steady hands to shave my balls and massage my feet all day.

[Enxienty]

I seriously wonder how much Furor played EQ lol

[Lisset]

I level as quick as I can so I can bind in the fire pot room when Kunark is launched, duh.oh, and JBoots.

[Clark]

lol

[Rararboker]

Use my knowledge to collect big money items, sell them on ebay. Win.

[Coridan]

I would probably try to do some homework during med rests if given another chance =p and maybe stop making so many frikkin alts

[myriverse]

How do you rule Norrath?
Who the fuck wants to rule anything.

In 1999, I was happy as fuck if I could get my kid to do what I asked.

[Rhambuk]

...wasted so much time playing every class to 15 or something :p

my entire first year of eq was making new alts, new character a day and could never decide.

my highest after over a year of play was an 11 rogue haha

[Raavak]

Wouldn't have made a SK for a main, that's for sure. If I found my original 1999 self I'd smack me and tell me to re-roll.

[webrunner5]

Been there done that lol. :eek:

[Kaleadar]

I would never have gotten married...

[koros]

Buy multiple computers and multiple accounts. Farm efreeti/frenzied with OP Necros. Level a rogue and pickpocket Naggy/Vox for scimitar of the mistwalker and cloak of flames. Ebay lots of stuff.

[billw134]

With my 1999 knowledge I would:
Get lost under Kelethin for hours at a time.
Make phat lewts off of unlooted Orc centurion's in Crushbone.
Get lost in Gfay and stumble on wizard spires.
Learn to stay on the paths.
Gasp at the sheer size of the carved Kaladim entrance.
Fish, spilling beer on me, and seeing a giant boat pull up to docks.
Fall off said boat in OOT.
Swim for 2 hours until I drowned.
Learn to use a canoe.
Get lost in Freeport, it was a freaking maze.
Get stuck in the tunnel gasping at plate armor.
Find Oasis.
Transfer server to join friends who couldn't figure out how to join my server.

With my knowledge now:
I would love to get guise of deceiver and rubicite!

[Nuggie]

Same, except I was a paladin. hybrids got dicked back then. Would have made an ench and ebayed rare items till I couldn't anymore.

[August]

Level enc to 34, quickly.
Make hundreds of thousands of plat off of jewelry, especially knowing that Genni on the block sells fire opals for 550gp.

...
...
...

I lived for the EC tunnel then, don't know what would really change. My highest level was a 34 druid when Velious hit. 52 monk when luclin came out, 65 war in PoP.

[Method]

With my 1999 knowledge I would of,

Not started out as an erudite in a extremely dark forest, Killing just one mob and making it back to the guards without getting lost into the woods was a massive accomplishment.

Don't ever consent anyone cause 50% of the time you would find your corpse with everything looted from it.

[WizardEQ]

Wait a minute, you had this experience, TOO???????????????? But this is how memories are made. Never trade it in a million years. I remember not knowing how to SWIM and drowning in the river a dozen times until this wood elf named Ludic taught me how to use up/down.

[Grubbz]

Ported back to 1999 you say? haha i wouldent touch EQ ever again and change my life for the better.

[billw134]

Lol most honest response ever

[Dragr]

Took me months to level a bard to 35, then got sick of dying in Lower Guk from song aggro and decided to keep hopping to new servers they put up (Lanys, Luclin, Tholuxe, Antonius Bayle (EU), Kane Bayle (EU), Venril Sathir (EU) :D)

...wasted so much time playing every class to 15 or something :p

Same here, but on every new server that came out. Started 8/99, Half Elf Ranger.
Highest I ever got was around 25 till I joined a guild on 2003.

[whitebandit]

Sometimes i forget that /consent used to let you loot friends corpses lol.. Fucking classic!

[reborn649]

Would have been more prepared for a wizard named Linnett on Vallon Zek. Bastard would hunt me across zones for some reason and always steal my hard earned bronze gear on my pally! Guy ruined my life in unrest for about the first 3-4 months i played lol...

Other than that, I would definitely NOT have played a paladin. Would have played a class to farm rare drops and retired at the age of 20 from all of my ebay cash!

Was buddies with twelve prophets on VZ and they made stupid cash back in the day...i was never lucky enough to get any decent drops in groups though! Must have lost the roll on 10-20 fungis before i gave up and started a new toon that didn't fail so hard!

[baalzy]

when then game went live and you've forgotten all knowledge of the future except for what you know about EQ now.

How do you rule Norrath?

Buy a couple extra phone lines (or ISDN), multi-box. Farm (whatever soon to be removed item available) non-stop while abusing whatever jewel craft related platinum exploits (where you can sell for more than ya buy) via macro programs on multiple accounts.

Make a monk and a druid account, power level accounts to 50+ for classes that are in demand.

RMT to holy hell on ebay as much as possible.

Invest in mutual funds/target date funds (I don't know what is going to hit big, but investing is smart).

Get out of the market in 2007 cause I'm not too dumb to not realize what's about to happen. Get back into the market in late 2008 cause I see a huge opportunity.

Retire.

[Faerie]

I'd invest a lot more time into RZ, working on a twink to terrorize the newbies. On VZ I think I'd really play up being a pacifistic dark elf and try to join lighty guilds.

And when SZ released, I'd like to play good team there for the first little bit when it was fun :P

[Quineloe]

I'd 2 box invis pull fungi tunics and pee into bottles 24/7 until they nerfed it. Then I'd RMT the money and invest in WoW. Then I'd hire hot female maids with steady hands to shave my balls and massage my feet all day.

pretty much this, does the knowledge about EQ include the massive bank people made with the RMT?

[Sturgeon]

Go outside my house more

[justin2090]

I would apply to be a dev so I could crush the world of warcraft and blizzard as a whole.

[Gadwen]

I would outsource my playtime to the Chinese, and become a pioneer in the gold farming industry.

[Thugicorn]

Emailing McQuaid and telling him not to go through with the SOE deal.
