It was my first month in EQ, back in 1999 December. I had never played an online game before, and very few RPGs at that point (I was in 8th grade). I had gotten the game thanks to a friend in my class who had talked me into it. Anyway it was winter break from school and I got the game for christmas. I was running around west freeport, and somehow ended up in one of those places in east freeport or something where no one goes, near some canopys and merchants.
It was a foggy day, or it was raining, so I couldn't see more than 10 feet in front of my character. I was so lost and confused and no one in shout could really help me. So I started a petition and a GM eventually contacted me and tried getting me out by talking to me. I had no clue where I was, so after about 5 minutes I saw something I would never see in my EQ life again...
YOU HAVE BEEN SUMMONED.
LOADING.... PLEASE WAIT.
He summoned me in front of the west freeport gates.
I know it wasn't big deal stuff like de leveling 20 times but it was probably the biggest anxiety attack Ive ever had in EQ.
