Returning after almost 12 years.

***Warning, wall of text INC!***

When I was 10 years old I went to a good friends house. Upon arrival his mom answered the door exclaiming my friend was "busy fighting imaginary creatures *rolls eyes*"...

Intrigued and confused I found him playing in complete silence as a human character, who was able to fake his own death and bats, rats, and a dog thing that stood on two legs walked away not interested any longer.

"WOW! CAN I PLAY?!?!" I exclaimed. I asked him if we could put it on two player mode, why he couldn't see at night, and every noob question in the book.

That was late 2000, my birthday the next February the only thing I asked for was EQ. Somehow I convinced my parents to not only pay the $9.99 a month or whatever it was back then, but to give up the phone jack for HOURS ON END.

I played almost exactly 5 years, logging some 400 days played over that period.

I remember meeting my first "friends" in game, a husband and wife couple who played Warrior and Enchantress named "Wildthaang" and "Shimmerist" IIRC. I won a full set of banded armor in a guild raffle, I acted as a banker for the players farming the ice giants in permafrost, and the list goes on...

I ended with a whole host of characters, a Shaman with the best Fletching skill you could have because I liked archery even though I couldn't use any of it haha.

So now almost 12 years later, I randomly discover P99, sign up to the forums and download what files I think I need (for a mac), ready to jump back in.

Does anyone have any advice for a new Barb Shaman? Will come in handy when I'm able to finish installing the game!

Very much looking forward to seeing you all in game, cheers!
