Old RZ player

[Tushy_master]

Old Rallos Zek server player here from classic. I'm surprised how little archival stuff there is available by doing a google search for stuff from back in the day (classic years, '99-'01) - screenshots/guild sites/youtube videos etc. It looks like many of the old guild websites are no longer being hosted, which makes sense I guess since it was almost 25 years ago since EQ launched.

What i've been able to find:

Panku Player database - I remember this database from back in the day and it's still up but I only see a snapshot from 2003. Is there any way to see the database from 1999-2001?

was really glad to see the flowers of happiness site:

Murjab - some random player's site from 2000 which is well still up: http://www.geocities.ws/murjab/pics.html

This is the only stuff I can find on youtube:

EverQuest Memories of the Rallos Zek Server, Featuring my Epic Monk

Wudan youtube video - not even sure what era

Posting this stuff for future reference.

Does anyone have any other old archives they could link me to or could point to the right direction? Thanks

Try searching google for old links and if they don't work or load there's always - https://archive.org/web/ - I usually have luck with old content on there

it doesn't go all the way back to classic but I've had interesting finds with boolean operator searches on youtube

just add before:2006 to any search to find videos from the year youtube launched. then you can sort by view count to dig for gold. if you find something, can always try hitting up that channel which you can also sort by upload date and find rabbit holes

Here's an old site:

You can search your character's name and see entire guild history.

Define "old" - seems those videos are post Luclin - if you played in 1999-2001 you might enjoy some of these screens, there may be a few dead Wudan in it ;)

Haha funny you say that, I think my lvl 60 character may have been in Wudan for a bit, I gave my account info to a friend after I retired. Didn't see my character in this video though... Thanks for sharing.

Starting playing the summer of '99 and made my RZ char in the fall of 99 I think. I played heavily through Kunark and Velious and slowed down playing late 2001 after I dinged level 60 and stopped playing entirely not long after Luclin came out. Hated the new character models and the bazaar and nexus. Also I was going into college and knew I couldn't balance EQ with that.

I remember Darkenbane and Kerrygetz and those infamous PKs from way back in the day who would stalk around in the Karanas (pre-Kunark). Also I'll never forget surviving some crazy train in Velk's lab with like 1% HP only to immediately get ganked by some PK upon zoning out into Great Divide. I wasn't bagged at all and they looted my breastplate!

Project1999 was perfect for me since I played only during the "classic" era, I couldn't resist coming back when I heard about the server.

Yeah man it’s the best era we come around the forum and beg for a reset with a good ruleset and just remember the good old days.

The server is solid now but empty and has no item loot so there’s no pvp at low level since it’s pointless ganking for grief only.

But it’s still awesome game.
