I started playing EQ in 2000 on Rallos Zek as a 11 year old kid cause my older brothers told me, "those other servers are for the wussies." Well hey, I was no wussy! Many a tales to be had from my 11 year old self on Rallos; most involve me crying IRL because I lost my crafted leggings or something, and then my brothers proceeding to tell all of Mistmoore in /ooc about it =/.
But this story is more about a legacy. On Rallos, me and my brothers played a lot of Gnomes; because Gnomes were good solo classes and Steamfont was the shit. Well, if you played Rallos between 2000-20001 and you hunted in Steamfont, you knew the name Zekette. Zekette was a female Gnome warrior, and she was an un-stoppable force at the time. I'm talking about everyone knew of her, died to her prolly, and new to keep a look out if you were in the same zone as her. Looking back at it, I am pretty sure she just had full crafted/2 short sword yek/55hp rings, nothing TOO crazy, but at the time, that gear was reallllly good.
She was relentless, and me and my brothers would constantly die to her. I remember one day though, watching my brother play, and there was a Gnome force of probably 6-7 people chasing her down. I remember excitingly watching from over my brothers shoulders, seeing her HP slowly dwindle as more and more upset Gnomes joined in the fight! Just as she was getting low, and I'm screaming at my brother to get the last hit, she just dies. =/ No one can loot her corpse either; it's just a cluster fuk of 10 gnomes spam clicking the corpse to no avail =(. "WADA HACKING BITCH OMG SHE HACKS PEITITON THIS NOW!" Turn's out she was using the ole pull your 55hp ring trick, but of course us noobs knew nothing of that at the time; so she was deff hacking.
Well, fast forward to like 2011 or something. One of my friends, who was part of this 2000 Rallos playing back in the day with us, was actually playing P99 in the commons area at his college. Some random person saw this, and walked up to my friend and began talking to him. Turns out this guy played EQ aswell! Turns out he also played on Rallos back in 2000! Turns out this guy was Zekette!!!...=/
The bane of mannnnyyy people's life was nothing more then an 13 year old kid at the time~~
