Early in my Everquest Career (I was around 10 years old at this time, 2000) me and an IRL buddy would always play human or half-elf characters up to level 10, then quit and start new humans or half-elf, the only prerequisite was we had to be able to start in Freeport, since we were dumb asses at that time and all of the evil cities were too difficult to navigate in the dark on shitty CRT Monitors.
Anywho, one time me and my buddy decide to go to Rivervale randomly at level 6. So we beg this guy to give us SoW and show us through the forest, he complies, however when we get to Kithicor it is already night out and I am human as fuck with no vision in the dark, plus I didn't realize you could auto follow at that time. So I get lost in the forest, can't see shit. My buddy is ahead and still following, but stops to come back and find me. I start to wander in Kithicor blindly and stumble in an apparently massive nest of bixies and start to fight one when like 10 other bixies roll up on me. So I am fighting these renegade bixies and it's a struggle, I also forgot to turn on auto attack for a minute. So I kill like 8 of them and end up going down. Friend actually finds me and I am surrounded by bixie corpses. Then he got absolutely wrecked by a Skeleton Trooper. That was the last time we tried to go to Rivervale.
