In early days of RZ weapon slots were fair game too. Halloween event was just ok... nothing spectacular. There were a few no drop pieces sprinkled around, but it wasn't a full set of gear.
Remember when noobs would hang around trying to get Shin gloves / greaves, basalt carapace, opoline helms? lol

I was that newb during the event. I was level 11 or something and just ran around getting all the pieces, begging for ports. People would call the pieces in OOC. I think i was 6 by the end of the weekend but i got my pieces. Just died over and over clicking corpses. Halloween event is burned in my mind, not just ok. That funky red blue and yellow wiz robe. I felt like a fucking erudite Bootsy Collins. I still remember my wtf when i who'd EK and it showed 205 players. People dragging the AOE'ing Rathe undead dragon to the zone line, so many corpses. You could make bank in ek with all the scythes @ 10p a pop.
People dont get just how great EQ was back then, what did i play that was better with multiplayer 3d worlds before that? Tribes? Quake?
The thing is, i got 5 no drop pieces and it was mostly psychological. I had a bunch of pieces i couldnt lose and it helped me tough it out against twinks and play another year or so. Thats what i mean by make it Rallos, but better. With full sets of no drop then item loot is bearable and even enjoyable cuz its the twinks who have to risk something to get their ganks. Complete opposite of red launch where it was the casuals who got the shit end of the stick getting deleveled by zergs.
