I started the first week of Velious. I used to play Quake 2, and many of my friends there left for Everquest during the Kunark era or earlier. I resisted a bit longer.
My first character was a Dark Elf necromancer. My friend told me this was the most overpowered class! After getting lost in Neriak, I deleted him and created another. I repeated this process a few times. Eventually I drew a map of Neriak by hand and escaped to Nektulos. When I got to level 7, I decided to explore Freeport. I was killed immediately upon zoning into NFP. I never recovered that corpse. After I reached level 14 or so, I gave up on the necromancer and rerolled as a cleric on a different server.
