What was it like in 1999

I remember in 1999 when I wanted to use the bank in Neriak I had to run from EC tunnel through snow, sandstorms, hurricanes, and tornado's past raging guards with lazer-blasters and griffins with MLRS rocket launchers.

I think its to easy now.

P.S. I was also bound in Qeynos for some reason.

MEOW

I wish I played in 1999 [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.] But when I was leveling up, I was with my boyfriend and his brother a lot. I had out an earth pet (but hell, I didn't know what the differences were) and my boyfriend told me to pull my pet back so the mob would run back but it was stuck! Boyfriend said "Oh, it's rooted" and I'm like "What's root?" loolllllllllll

I rolled a half elf ranger and going to qeynos for the first time was life altering. what really blew me away was seeing two dark elf casters hanging out on the zone wall near surefall glade zone. and people sitting around the fire burning there to camp out.

I had quite a few adventures and roleplaying moments until level 7 when, still completely enamored with the game world, I wanted to see freeport with my own two eyes. (just making a character in freeport wasn't enough, I needed the JOURNEY!) so I trekked off asking for directions in every zone I came to. everyone was very kind and offered buffs and sows. once I got to highpass, though...it was exciting because it was so dangerous. being so ignorant, and not heeding the words of passersby that I should NOT GO THERE! I never thought there'd be a ton of orcs at the other end.

respawning back at qeynos left me with such rage that I camped out and rolled a DE necro which became my main. imagine how thrilled I was when I discovered necro gets a bind spell, haha.

Logging in to find you are drowning in a small pool in Oggok or Grobb that for some reason you can't crawl out of.

Zoning to drop for 32 k, in some random spot in the middle of the zone, with no time to get a loc.

Having people offer to CR you, only to strip your corpse.

Being surrounded by gigantic gnome and halfling corpses.

Staring at the book.

Falling through the boat due to lag, dying to undead in the sea, and having your corpse lost in the middle of it.
