[bufferofnewbies]

My best guess from memory:

1. By what percentage has the death penalty been reduced since the release of the game?
b. 25%

2. What was the first class to have it's own full set of quest armor?
d. Warriors

3. What was the name of the first character to reach level 50 in beta?
c. Kendrick (Rogue)

4. Which of the following items was in beta but has never made it to the released game?
b. Green Splint Platemail -- total guess. I never made a plate/chain wearing class in beta.

5. When EQ was first released what did the Hags of Unrest do which had everyone scrambling for the zone line whenever she made an appearance?
a. Charmed Players -- think this was when necros had the charm person spells, since been removed.

6.What was the name of the first character to reach level 50 after the game was released?
d. Korelin (Warrior) -- guess here. I honestly don't remember too well.

7. What NPC dropped Journeyman's Boots before it was changed from a drop to a quest?
b. Drelzna -- ok folks. stand in line. There are 73 folks ahead of you...

8. What was the name of the supposed warrior armor (which by an error could be used by WAR, CLR, PAL, RNG SHD, BRD, ROG & SHM) which dropped in the Plane of Fear before Indicolite was released into the Plane of Hate?
b. Lustrous Russet -- still a guess, since I mainly played an enchanter in the old days.

9. What was the first alternate plane of existance to open?
a. Plane of Fear

10. When the alternate planes of existance were first opened, what was the level limit imposed by Verant to enter?
d. There Was No Limit -- oh gods at the level 1 corpses from low level zonein agro.

11. What was the first dungeon to be overhauled and have a significant change in level?
c. Infected Paw -- i think within a few months of opening. It started off as blackburrow levels but few folks ever went there. Alot of my friends would go there with me when BB was swamped.

12. What ranger only leg armor, which no longer drops in the game, originally dropped off of dervishes?
b. Petrified Bark Leggings -- not sure if that's the name, but I do admit here *I* was the guide that reported this error (after I asked a player why so many high level folks were at W Commons derv camp -- yes, we actually did just walk around to hang out with folks back in the day!). They started dropping them after a normal patch day that modified things for either Fear or Hate, but someone screwed up the dbase. They had us standing watch for about an hour and a half until they could drop the servers and redo the derv's dBase. Sorry rangers!

13. What was the name of the ranger & druid only sword dropped by Lady Vox which no longer drops in the game?
b. Mistwalker

14. What event was proceeded by the introduction of high level undead into Kithicor Forest?
b. The Opening of the Plane of Hate

15. Before it was removed as a dropped item in the game, in what zone could you find Rubicite Armor?
d. Cazic Thule

16. On the day of EQ's release, what was the scheduled time that the servers would be opened to the public?
b. 10:00 a.m. PST -- and i think at 10:25, they had to call in to companies to find more server hosting, as they didn't expect it to be so much.

17. How many phases of beta testing were there?
a. 4 full & 2 sub -- I wasnt in all of them, so this is a guess.

18. Before being removed as a dropped item in the game, where would you find a Manastone?
d. Lower Guk

19. What item, which used to drop in Lower Guk could change anyone's appearance to that of a dark elf without actually wearing the item?
a. Guise of the Deciever --changed my answer here. I should have remember this name better. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

20. Before the game was released, what division of Sony Online Entertainment did Verant spin off from?
