When/Where did you play?

[mylz17]

I started playing just after the release of Velious. I remember having a hard time choosing whether or not I should just buy Velious off the bat or not. I ended up putting it back on the shelf, only to run out and buy it in a few days due to the UI changes.

My first character was a dwarf paladin named Holgrad on the Prexus server. I played him to level 51. Quested and RP'd with him a lot. I needed a change of pace and my brother and I talked my dad into starting a new character. We wanted him to have the feel of being a newbie, so we decided to roll on a completely different server so that way we were all forced to start over and the possibility of twinking wasn't available.

So, about 4-5 months after Luclin launch... me, my dad, and my bro all rolled gnomes on Drinal. Enchanter (me), cleric (dad, Ernee Tinkerton) and warrior (bro, Valdrok Tinkerton). I faintly recall first rolling a cleric and leveling to 5 but ended up rerolling as the chanter.

It was great having the 'holy trinity' ready and waiting at a moments notice. We only really played on Tuesdays as it was the only night we could all get together, but we made the most of the time we spent online. I experienced so much more with my dad and bro than I ever did with my paladin because played together, and stuck to dungeon leveling. I know it's a little corny but we called ourselve the "Gnome Squad" and we all shared the same last name of Tinkerton. Some of the best times were had in Mistmoore, Unrest, SolA, Guk and even ToFS. Infact we spent close to 15 levels in ToFS alone. I also recall getting close close to 3 levels in 1 night (4-5 hours) in SolA. Infact I think my bro did get 3 levels, he always did level quicker since he was the warrior. I could go on and on and on about all the good times we had & the great people we met along the way.

Then PoP came out (I think we were in our mid 50's at this time), things started to get shitty. GoD came out and things got even shittier, then we all left for WoW... which is shitty now.

Now I'm back and trying to talk them into coming back too [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]
