1. I remember being in 5th or 6th grade at my friends house. His mother had played EQ a lot and she played a cleric. She had a lot of RL adult friends who also played. I remember one of her friends who played a druid came over and he was really high level. My friend and I were still erudite mages in our teens.
He was camping the Frenzied Ghoul room in Lguk for the FBSS and we thought it was the most dark, mystical, crazy looking room. the Fabled FBSS also possessed such a strong lore around it during pre-kunark. We were so amazed that he was in that room. I think he had camped it for 8 hours straight and got no FBSS, we didn't watch the whole time, we were busy playing Playstation on the TV. It was still so cool and I remember asking him tons of questions.
2. Another time my friend and I REALLY wanted to play EQ together but his mother wouldn't log off. We went into the bed room where the Ethernet cable was routed and we would unplug it then re-plug it back in to make her go LD. We had to hold back our laughter every time because we heard her asking "WTF, again?!" "This connection is terrible tonight". We must have done it three times before we came out and "made" sure she was okay, asking what was wrong. We then went back and did it a couple more times until she decided "Screw this i'm going to sleep, and i'm going to call the internet company tomorrow". My buddy and I had a huge high-five, we waited 30mins for her conk out and then logged on to one of our characters. SUCCESS. Still feel kinda bad, but it was awesome nonetheless. Her character didn't die at all, not sure if any of her group mates died though, she was the cleric! LOL!
