I started maybe a few months before Kunark. I made a High Elf Wizard. I loved the 1st person view.

I looked around Flewithe, found my trainer, and turned in the note. Then I started exploring more, when it started raining... and lightning. I rushed into a building because I thought I might get struck by lightning.

Then I started down the tunnel to the gfay zone line. I wasn't in full screen mode, so I was looking through the smaller window. That, along with my video settings making the tunnel dark, set the stage for what happenned next.

I rounded the turn in the tunnel just before the zone line and it was dark. I saw two sets of eyes down the tunnel and that was it. I thought they may have been some type of creature. Then, all of a sudden, the eyes moved toward me and I started to run away. But, it turned out to be a couple of other players that just zoned into Felwithe.

Eventually, I made it to the noobie area fought stuff, died a few times, then eventually made it to the Wood Elf noobie area. Made it to lvl 4, found a group who fought orcs just down the path from the orc lift. Then at some point, I was in a group at orc hill, and eventually Crushbone. I was addicted.

After some leveling, I found myself at the path near the orc lift, when a train went by. It turns out that the guards were elsewhere. So, I decided help by rooting one of the orcs. When the root landed, the orc was on the lift. I LMAO watching that orc going up & down on the lift. But, eventually the lift came down without the orc. I don't know what happened to it, but it probably was taken out by a guard or something. I wish I had taken screen shots of that.

I eventually rolled a High Elf magician, which became my main.

3 months after that he took me on a tour at some game company in his office building, turned out to be Verant. Dad says, "oh you guys make everquest? sean loved that game but i thought he was a little young to be walking around killing animals." i made eye contact with one of the coders with a look that said "god help me" and i could tell he empathized completely.
