One of my first great memories was starting a Barbarian Warrior but my buddy was playing a halfling, and he was too scared to make the trip to Halas so I had to be the brave one (and it was more "roleplay" for my character to do it than his lol, being a warrior and all when he was just a tiny hobbit) and find a way accross the continent.
I died countless times on the way and lost my whole equipment a few times as well, until I found out one of the merchants sold Torches (night on a barbarian in classic was crazy pitch black o_o) so i killed ice goblins, saved up for one and that was the one piece of upgrade i needed to complete my quest! At level 3 or so now and basically naked with a Rusty Sword and a Torch I made it to Rivervale with some help from casters on the way for invisibility or other shenannigans

I was very very proud to be the only barbarian in Rivervale and when the happy music started and all the little hobbits were starring at me amazed I was hooked ^^/
