When/Where did you play?

[Opalie]

Hi there

I started playing I guess around early 1999, I remember telling the guild then, that I was being induced for the birth of my son the next day, and playing all night, so I didn’t over-sleep and miss the appointment time...I mean who needs to be in hospital at 5AM!

I will always remember my first char and trekking from Qeynos to Freeport with my husband’s character, because we read that the xp was better. Not having a clue where we were heading. Several hours later and corpses lost to the area, we stumbled across a bridge, where a character asked if we wanted to be ported. We were like..wow people can do that, and sure enough ended up in Freeport after a little run from where we landed. No clue who that person was, but really appreciate the help there.

However, by now our characters much needed items were all lost, and as far as we were concerned we might as well delete and start again. So Opalie (Human Cleric) and Davior (Human Paladin) were created and YAY born in freeport. Both these became our mains eventually.

We met loads of characters, which we still consider to be friends to this day. Having met some in real life and others just talked to in tells. It is almost the only game that I have met people and not talked to them in years, and it still feels like yesterday.

In time some friends we had all met, joined together on Luclin to eventually form a guild called ‘Sods Law’. We weren’t really a raiding guild but did so every now and then. I became the guild leader from the start...well that was sure a headache!

When I relocated back to UK, I moved my cleric to Antonius Bayle, as the hours on Luclin server were no longer suitable. I think if I remember correctly she joined United Kingdom’s guild and we had a meet in Manchester (UK), great fun too.

By the time GoD was released, I really didn’t have the time or interest to grind levels, in what felt like the original feel of playing EQ had already been lost.

I played some WOW, both on the European and US servers. In time, personal circumstances and well just the simplicity of the game, did not hold a challenge and I kind of yearned for the old EQ...here I am today, look me up if you would like.

I have a multitude of chars on P99, my mains being Opalie (Cleric) – High Elf and Opalla (Magician).

Previously the chars I had were:

Antonius Bayle / Luclin

Opalie Pureheart – 66 Cleric – Transferred from Luclin (Sod's Law and United Kingdom's)

Xegony - Druzzil Ro

Opalla – 68 Magician (White Rose)
Burnice – 56 Wizard
Opalie – 56 Cleric (White Rose)

Luclin – Stromm

Opali – 41 Wiizard

Take care
