Started in late 98 in the first closed beta, then played in the open beta. Honestly it was awful and nobody played seriously, because hardly anything worked. The first closed beta didn't even have char models. You were just a stick figure box running around the world.
Purchased the game 2 weeks after launch, and started as a Half-Elf ranger in Surefall glade. Talked about 900 of my friends into playing, and we had a guild on Rodcet Nife called Travellers Protectorate, it was short lived, and I moved over to RZ and joined a friends guild KAOS and played there till they all retired sometime in 2003 or 2004. Havent really played EQ seriously since then till the 99 server, and the half decent PvP servers that have come out in the last couple years.
