So here's the deal fellas/ladies, JBoxCSU has won the grand prize of 1000pp, and everyone else who submitted a story is entitled to a smaller amount, i'll need to go count how many people there are but i am thinking round 400 - 500 plat each.

My question is, are there currently any really trusted ec trader types who I could give the plat to and pay him to give it to y'all whenever you happen to show up? It will take forever to meet up with all of you lol.

I will ask that in the server general chat, maybe find a guy from a respectable guild who will do it.

Congrats JBoxCSU, lol great story.

Thank you for offering, I will give the plat to you and let the players come to you for it. You seem like a trustworthy sort, with your char name in your post and everything. Will you be on tonight?

Grats JBox! Seriously though, I'd give you 1k plat if I had it, because that little snippet about the train in BB and getting punched made me laugh hysterically.

Default Late too the party

Hi I hope I'm not too late to the party. I just recently started playing again as an Iksar Shaman due to the ease of leveling and cash opportunities to get started. That said, I am reminded of the first time I played Everquest in 1999. My brother played a few months before I did and begrudgingly introduced me to it. He really didn't want to show his little brother the ropes but my mother made him.

My first character was a human paladin in Qeynos. I can still remember the thrill of venturing outside of the gates under siege by the Gnolls. I found a trick where you could convince the injured monk to follow you around and help you kill fire beetles and the like. I even would check tree and other corners to see if Verant had placed some secret object for adventurers to find.

Then I found my favorite zone of all, the Qeynos Aquaducts. The ambiance of the zone, the dingy walls and all of the rats was so frightening. You could tell they put a lot of time into it as well, as there were numerous hidden doors and traps for the unlucky adventurer. I died so many times walking into a deadly bandit or trap.

After time though, I remember feeling like a king of the sewers. I knew every turn, every mob spawn and ever hidden trap. Q-bert with his alligator tooth earrings was on my list! It felt like it was my zone. Back in the day there were even groups in the sewers killing bandits and trying to scrape by. Qeynos aquaducts was a perfect place to learn what the developers has in store for you, an immersive beautiful game.

Before long I was venturing our from the Aquaducts and into Blackburrow. I realized that paladins weren't my thing and that I really wanted to be a rogue named Swash, who I played for many years. In the beginning I even got my mom to yell at my brother to give me an item to help me advance.

I remember my brother spending way more time playing than me. He was even one of the first level 50 druids on our server. It was so exciting when I could convince him to play with me because he was so powerful. He has killed Vox and Nagafen and seemed invincible to me. I remember walking around BB and his thorns just desolating the mobs.

He was my inspiration to play, since I wanted to be stronger than he was. In the end I never quite caught up, by I had an amazing time along the way. The mystery, exploration, and danger are all what keeps me coming back to EQ. I'm really looking forward to my Project 1999 experience!
