I think this is true of where any player started first. My first toon in live (which stayed my main for all 6 years I played) was a dwf pal. I identify true "classic" as a mix of Butcherblock, Greater Faydark and then the Deserts Ro with Oasis across the pond.

My wife started her first toon, which lasted for just 5 days, in Halas as a bar shm. She still feels the classic pang for the Everfrost/Qeynos Hills areas even though she barely played in them except for that first week of having a toon on my account to try it out.

I've often attributed this phenomenon as the catalyst for why EQ has such a hold on me that no other MMO could even come close to: it was my first MMO. I learned on EQ and it remains my favorite.
