Default 9/11/01 and Everquest

I was playing everquest during 9/11 in deadlands where I had a massive breakdown and several guild leaders had to calm me down and assure me that I wasnt going to die that day. Were you playing Everquest during 9/11? Share you story

9/11/01 was a patch day, and the attacks happened during that patch. so, not sure if 9/11 trolling, or dumb

I was in High School. Doing an assignment in the library. Saw it, and then went to play MTG on my lunch.

SEPTEMBER 11, 2001

Spell Changes:

Changed all enchanter mesmerization spells so that they overwrite Screaming Terror.
Changed Shaman epic effect (Curse of the Spirits) so that it would not conflict with certain Damage over Time spells.
The Emissary of Thule Necromancer pet is now immune to fear.
Beneficial buffs that don't have an ability drain component on them can now be clicked off.
Miscellaneous Updates:

The server selection screen now only gives information on whether or not a server is up instead of providing player counts. In addition, the "count" option on the /who command has been restricted to internal personnel. Servers on the server selection screen are still ordered from least-populated to most populated in order to assist players in choosing the least populated server.
Harla Dar has been repaired (this happened sometime earlier than today, but we wanted you to know).
Reactivated broken zone line between Qeynos to the Sewers. A dead halfling was stuck in the drainpipe and has been removed.
Fixed a long-standing bug that was causing Feign Death to fail when several characters were on the NPC's hate list along with the character using Feign Death. We'd like to extend much thanks to the monk community who helped us track this one down. Also fixed a problem with the monk's 'Block' skill which inadvertently was recapped at a lower than normal skill level in recent months. Kudos to "Faned" of the "Monkly Business" bulletin board who brow-beat Gordon with the facts until he gave in and looked at the code. Smile
As announced earlier this week, the Belt of the Cenobite was made usable by some inappropriate classes/races in the last patch. This has been corrected.
Several quest components in zones with the Trivial Loot Code will now be lootable regardless of level.
Norrathian News:

Boisterous shouts can be heard across the lands as carriers herald the arrival of the latest volume of their city's newspapers. Citizens rush to get a copy of these publications to read the featured articles, latest gossip, and community news for their hometowns.

Announcing Test of Tactics III:

Yes you heard right, Test of Tactics will be making its return to the lands of Norrath in October and November. This event will present teams of 18 members in a battle to the death. Only the strong of body and mind will survive and come out of the arena victorious. For more information on the event and sign up for please look on Harpy's Head Tavern at http://everquest.station.sony.com/hht/events/.

Terrorist Attack Response:

"The staff of Sony Online Entertainment wish to extend their condolences and prayers to the victims, and the families of the victims, lost in today's horrific events. We share in your grief during these difficult times."

The quote from our front page expresses how we all feel here in the office. I only want to extend my personal sympathies to all the families that this has touched.

We have received many letters, and I want to thank you all for sending them in. It's obvious that we will all be different people from here forward. If I don't dwell on this in my responses here it is only because I know that none of us will forget what has happened, and that you come here for entertainment not reminders of tragedy.

here we have lron trying to prove he isn't sirlious because he was insulted by the accusation, by reminding us that an lron post usually has that exaggerated self-importance.

Ladies and gentlemen, a parody of a parody. We must go deeper.

Oh yea and I was in junior high, when we came in to class my teacher made us get into groups and write short stories about it. She got extremely pissed when many of them turned out to be very disrespectful and inappropriate

Hi Lron, dont know why you just didnt register lron2 or something, we know you are Sirlious and Harnold, your posts are so easy to spot.

I do miss you calling yourself the server legend tho.

I was going to college and working part time at a fast food place, having the day off from both. I was sleeping in when I got a call from my dad who told me to turn the TV on, so I did and there it was. Later that day I had a late lunch with my parents at their house and I'll never forget the look in my father's eyes when he said "I can't believe they're selling this horse shit. It wasn't the planes that took them out."

My father was a steel worker, a certified blacksmith, fine smith, welder and had a job at the town's primary metal fabrication company with over 30 years of experience doing jobs ranging from making stairway railing, fencing, statues, and building construction, including high rises in Los Angeles.

I won't get into it further from there, but I did play EQ that night with some friends. We were playing some alts because we got a new couple in town to start playing and we were blowing up gnolls in Highpass. It was good stuff.
