I was contemplating on EQ and how 2007 was 7 years ago, seems like just yesterday I wasn't giving a fuck. My favorite EQ memory is listening to 80s pop while leveling/pvping on VZTZ, and having AIM confessionals with Kimmy as I sorted out my life with a welcome ear. I remember PKing Kimmie and feeling bad about looting her druids GEBs or whatever the fuck I looted. I realized she was a real girl and it was the first time I ever gave a pixel back. We were fast friends after that.

I can honestly say I've made many friends and respected acquaintances in the 7 or 8 years I've been on emu, I've gone through some dark fucking times, but I look back on those times with a measure of regret, and a healthy dose of nostalgia. You see friends of pixel quest, I miss the freedom afforded of no-life, working a dead end job when ur 19 years old because you dropped out of college because you threw away a scholarship on a field you realized you didn't give a fuck about. I tossed away a lot of opportunities, but I don't regret getting vacuumed into garage box. The hours drained away back then were not to be hidden, less people bragged about who they were fucking or how much money they were making back then. Nowadays, Everquest PVP is about real money trade, and how pixels don't matter to you, they just supplement your life. At it's core, Nizzar is an ugly depiction of when Real Life invades everquest, a happy escape has become a pathetic reality.

I have recently begun playing Everquest again, with minor celebrity appearances such as when Gyno had me wreck most of the Rogue competition on a halfling in the BoulderQuest BOTB on red99. I remember that feeling, coming back to the spotlight, and after a few brief months I not only realized that things had changed, but that the joy and opportunities to escape RL were no longer as promising. I am mostly alone on Salty box, with Gold and a few other folks trying to get some everquest satisfaction, because it sure as fuck isn't to be found in the barnum and bailey act happening here on red 99.

You see friends I have become more and more that which I did not wish to become. Work, Money, and Girlfriend are now my priorities in life. Making rent and planning trips to places to go, thinking of ways to advance in career, it's all sickening.

I realize the real reason I've come here. I wanted to let you know you're all a bunch of big pussies. You're all ingrained into a real life society within Everquest. You abide by real money trade, and use it to fight your pixel wars, because the biggest PVP on the box happens when you faggots guild hop. Or victory comes in farming loot and selling it for cash on paypal.

I will remember my lifer status on garagebox with great joy, I am disgusted with those of you who will recall the fall of wheelchair Nizzar as your day of glory on this box, for there is no PVP video to spread your legend.

People who have to say this out loud to others, remind me of Elderan bragging about how much money he has and how much he spends on this and that. No one cares...if you cant balance your real life with internet, you have more issues then time magazine.

It's not to brag you fuck. I'm reminiscing and you focus on my timeline shift, which serves to illustrate my evolution as a human into a drone of the machine, cleverly played as dry wit by downplaying 'normal' human behavior with a sense of resignation.

You are a moron, if you had any intelligence you would realize that he says he doesn't give a fuck about a trash elf sim, because he would rather do other shit.

All you are doing is making stupid justifications for why it is ok for your dumb ass to be 38 playing an elf simulator while all your bills are past due and you are still banging out that fleshlight you bought 6 years ago.

I remember fighting you knuckle! We fought all the time on your ranger and you had a wizard, I with Mintik, in ocean of tears and Kraz in kael good times... We would stalk each other because we were some of the only people who "wanted" a fight that was 1 v 1 and only the best man won. Also I remember during that box a guy named skunky or something a human druid. I fought with him a ton too.

Good thing I was there to see Nizzar and officers in 1st hand pixel fall in KC at warlord camp b4 you decided to write your #suicide letters online.

I don't remember when. I only remember smedy and target (now known as digital blahblah and his many alts) were there at hand.

I will always be a water boy but Knuckle is a true legend of the box! Hall of fame inductee class one. 90% of the vote. No one gets 100% too many haters. The years continue to go by... we get older.

Red is fine! I believe best there has ever been we just need velious to bring back the legends! Don't know why anyone still continues to play Kunark. I love EQ as much as anyone but wtf guys its the same raid mobs for the past 15 years!? Past raid mobs for the past 7 years....never really had a good version of velious on a box. Which I would play. But how do you guys keep doing it?

Miss all of you!

You grossly overestimate Lulu's wealth if you think she ever stepped her hobo feet into some GEBs, pal. More likely looted a ration-stained werewolf-hide jerkin ;)

VZTZ > red99 x100000000. Sorry this server just has too many nut cupping faggots on it. We had so many awesome better fights than have been on here. No one was so maniacal about YT as they are here. Server had some corruption and instability but I would trade that for epic daily large scale pvp and a way better/funnier community any day.

Also: pras knuckle being the og wheelchair bro. Do a wheely for me knuckle

HPT can vouch, that wasn't me. I didn't know he was playing Knuckle but after everything was said and done I was cool with it he was just trying to get me a title since I couldn''t get out of work. I regret not calling out for the botb though.

VZTZ was top. Pras to real pvp, real personalities, large scale pvp. Good times, factions hated each other and duked it out in pvp, not forum quest/RMT battles or whatever the past few years here have been. Rystar, Rexx, Knuckle, Booglie?, Smedy, Prime, my bro Babylon, Karsten, Cwall, Sniperfire, Xersius, Kraz, Mintik, Shinaba 4 boxing in PoF. Classic shit imo.

Knuckle's points about it being about pvp, not about pixels/RL economic pvp bullsht here, is so true. VZTZ was a legit escape and a fun ass time.

Yo Kraz how you been? It's Scar from LoZ, don't think we played together on VZTZ but yooooo. Btw, your enchanter only had corpses because I was farming and stashing a bunch of steel hilted flint daggers for our charmed pets :p

Hell no in terms of mid level pvp. There's literally none happening, outside of a few twinks keeping the dream alive in Unrest/MM.


Group exp thing is double-edged because nobody wants to burn bridges and solo grind 5x slower. Plus it was already sparse with +/- 4 level range.

I'm hoping it heats up at 55+ where it's more guild-based and leveling is no longer important.

Does <Triumph> ring a bell to anyone. Zerg force favoring PvE over PVP etc. Still, arguably the funnest period to play on any eq pvp server.

Not sure if you can place blame on them or that kind of mentality, per se.

And there's nothing too wrong with being a healthy pve zerg. No comparison between Triumph and corrupt, soulless Nihilum fueled by RMT.
