Made an erudite wizard. Man, I was super ecstatic getting my first port spells and hella nervous to use them not knowing what was gonna wait for me on the other side.
Dungeon crawling in places like Sol A where random stuff could see invis was very nerve wracking too if you weren't massively overleveled. It still does it to this day with my enchanter but the toolset they have to manage getting found out is ridiculous. Zoning into HS as a solo wizard was... interesting.
Now today there is so much data available you can track the BIS gear and make an efficient leveling route before character creation. Back then you'd just wing it and discover the existance of new gear all the time. Hell when I came to p99 and used the wiki I found gear I didn't know it even existed. Back then the overall knowledge level was much lower and while it is nice in a way, it does take some of the magic out.
