I joined the server in April 2011 after seeing a youtube vid about it. I always loved the game but never got to experience very much of it back when it first came out due to my being the reroll king on the FV server when we were allowed only one toon per account. I remember joining the guild Serious Business early on meeting a lot of new people which was easy cause it felt like half the server was in the guild. They gobbled up almost every new player on the server. Took a break and came back to join several small guilds including Knights Who Say Ni before finally joining Anonymous. There is a real joy involved in being a small guild and working your way up to raiding high end content. For that reason, this server will always have a special place in my heart.
I log in occasionally just to look around and buff lowbies wherever i find them which is becoming rarer these days which fills me with sadness. I really miss the old days of this server which was more alive than any live server i played on. Before i ramble on too long, i just wanted to say "Thank you" to the people that made this server, the people who played here and especially the guild Anonymous for being the best time i ever had gaming in my life. I will remember you all.

Great post. Hits all the feels! I miss the old days of the server as well. I’ve been playing about the same amount of time as you and just recently picked it back up a bit. It’s certainly not as vibrant and bustling as the years prior but it’s still a good time.

Ppl used to talk more. And play games. Run in circles.

Now I notice ppl just mill about at druid portals although still a lot of fun random encounters. A wizard in a flashy oracle robe chased me into Kithicor running after a big bear right as the scary undead where about to spawn to hand me a shralock pack. Ppl seem pretty chill about 50% of the time.

Ignore the grumpies. They came to Norrath to escape their grind and brought it with them. They usually have flashy guild tags and magelos and just put every stat point into STA. Can't help them. Can run in circles around them casting blu sparklies and repeatedly ducking.

I 'member.

So many memories and people met along the way: from Camien my recruiter, Fugues as leader, Calyan I think led at one point? Kiyarah as leader. Grumpy ole Drzhivago on raids. Airborn's antics. Who was that crazy iksar necro who would ramble on in voice about the craziest shit lol.

Quite a few Anonypals ended up in Riot and while many of them are all but MIA on P99 blue as it is, a couple of us can be seen killing dragons and whatnot still. Including but not limited to: Keereeg, Settila, Kickenit, Rabitz, Daydon and myself.

Thanks for the post. My brother and I joined in 2012. And it has been such a fun ride. This server is like an extended family. Often I remember the old days and also new memories. We all are fortunate to have this beautiful server which costs us nothing and ran by generous volunteers. Truly awesome.

They're "officially" defunct? I know they haven't been particularly active for awhile but they've had inactive periods before. Knew quite a few folks who went to that guild.

We still have a few Blue members who held out when the guild migrated to Green (including Loramin) ... but all of the Green members of the guild (after a glorious few months on Teal) merged with Kingdom, so all that's left is those handful of Anons on Blue.

Was it a Eurdite enchanter? Might have been me signing into blue for the first time is 8 years (have been back but exclusively on green, not nearly as much grouping as this forum makes it out to be, btw) I was of course the only one and have since she'd the guild tag since the guild announcement was along the lines of "see you on green" and the guild doesn't appear to exist on green either

Dont forget about when you leveled you got full HP/Mana to as well as the target rings.

I miss 2009-2010 when nobody knew about the server.

OP is both a good guy and a was a great guild mate. I enjoyed playing with you.

The same goes to most all of my friends on the server who I played with in Anonymous.

Shout out to the ex-Anons! Always fun to cross paths with one and catch up.

Honsou/Ohats here. Mostly play Pretzels now.

Have to give credit to Sorn. She is a great artist who made drawings for people who were in the Department of Fun. Really miss doing those events too.

Blue server was something to behold at launch minus all of the bugs and non classic shit which there was plenty of. People were in such good spirits. The excitement was palpable.

None of us, and I think is was somewhere around 50 people on day 1, saw this coming. There were many emulated servers before it. All of them came and went. How were we to know this project some dude named nilbog was posting about on eqemulator forums would be any different.

I can only hope Rogaen or whoever else is working on the project now has something in store for people like me who love the community and the gameplay without the redundancy of classic.

Being drunk and letting people know they were horrible back when they weren't.
