Xegony Server

[tizznyres]

My very first characters in 1999 were made on Xegony, and I spent almost half my EQ time there. Doubt anyone remembers the names but my Shaman was Arbonak, and Wizard was Odyn. Neither of those characters made it to 50+, and I don't honestly remember my old main's name that got to 60.

I also played Fennin Ro a lot, but Xegony will always be my favorite for this reason:

There was a 50 Ranger in Inner Circle, wish I could remember his name, and I probably could if someone mentioned it. One day while I was trading in Gfay, he logged in and randomly sent me a tell about an Idol of the Thorned I had for sale. This was less than 2 months after Kunark release, and there were very few Idols on the server. The ranger had just started playing again since quitting 6 months ago, and felt the only item he had valuable enough for the Idol was a Scimitar of the Mistwalker.

He followed through, and I ended up getting a Mistwalker for an Idol of the Thorned. I eventually traded the scimitar off again several months later, not really realizing the ever-increasing desirability of items like that. I made a hefty profit, considering the Idol had cost me 20k at the time, but I certainly wish I had kept it. As I'm sure he did. I don't think he knew they no longer dropped at the time.
