Since I can't remember my first login the way you want me too, I'll state what I can about my first few months starting in late march 1999... (barring a session of hypnosis)
1) I remember having to figure out credit card information... I remember where the computers was in the room... I remember having anticipation for the credit card being validated
2) I remember being amazed that it was a 3d world with other people!
3) The framerate was choppy in Qeynos (i had a voodoo 2 and like 300mhz cpu)
4) I remember fletching arrows
5) I remember blackburrow being a pvp slaughter house with people looting each other's whole corpses
6) I remember waking up past midnight on March 19 1999 and looking out my window at the stars... Went outside and had an ominous feeling... In the morning we talked about a ufo... All of this feels more recent strangely than EQ does even though it happened several days before I installed EQ...
7) I remember making a monk friend... i think his name started with X...
8) He was a roleplayer and died bravely in North Karana fighting an enemy of his
9) I ran around all over the place, you better believe it... tons of playtime, not very many levels
I wish I could remember better. It's all very very fuzzy. I'd give money to remember the memories clearly.
The human brain is a machine that generalizes everything into abstracted pyramids with increasing detail towards the base but it's still all subject to the wizard of oz. I wish it were clearer.
The passage of time either wipes things away or it changes them, almost exclusively.
