Yep I remember the Qeynos to Freeport run.
By far an epic adventure when blackburrow ran out of merbs that gave xp.
I missed the quiet life in Qeynos Hills tho.

Had the most unorthodox group too...3 random stangers starting off in Qeynos: me a paladin, a wizard and a bard. We seemed 2 play the same times so we hung out alot and explored the shit outta Blackburrow/Qeynos Hills. We we're even aware of the Karana's so was our immersion levels in Blackburrow.

We we're all nubs and grinding low con mobs didnt mean shit aslong as we saw that "you gained experience" message.

One day we logged in and the bard was online but not in Q Hills or Blackburrow. He had met some other people and travelled to Freeport and the surrounding xp zones. Finally after a week or so the Wizard and I decided to make the journey. We met another guy who said he knew the way and off we went.

Fuck it was a journey. So much being lost, so much running in circles, those cliffs as you head up to highpass hold were epic.
Then Kith Forest. Finally arriving in freeport for a bind then heading to EC tunnel....holy shit never seen so many toons trading and batering going on.

We joined orc groups and hunted in befallen...shit was epic!!
We died to Griffins before we knew about /loc so you would look for a land mark as you died to try find your corpse. Sometimes it'd take you 30 mins, sometimes 5 mins. But no one cared it was to epic of an adventure to care.

Sadly our bard pal enjoyed some good xp and leveled ahead of us. Velious had just launched and he bought us velium weapons that had a "nuke proc". He told us about Giants....and wolves...(Greater divide)...we never exp'd with him again... He was deep into the 40s by the time we broke the 20s.

By the time I hit level 28 I had /played 30 days, had 2 jagged bands, 2 orc fang earnings, a black bastard sword from Runneye, and a set of bronze. I still remember buying my 2nd jagged band thinking I had made it...2x 5ac 3 str rings...so good.


No one cared back then about meta paths, or BiS.
People just had fun.
I miss the days before meta play.

All these adventures came from getting outta Qeynos Hills to freeport.

Post if the year. Making me reminisce on the glory days.
