Lol. I seem to remember the guidebook being terrible. Didn't it say humans leveled the fastest?

It also says dexterity increases melee accuracy, lol

Getting 10+ skeletons trained on me at the newbie log.

I was a blind human ranger. Got killed by my guildmaster before changing the attack key. Got lost in that stupid tunnel so many times since I was so damn blind and kept getting turned around running through there. Got me hooked tho!

Humans were supposed to get the bonus, halflings got it by mistake and they never fixed it.

getting lost in akanon....thats one confusing zone to start in.

I kept trying to talk to the gnome lookin robots.....after an hour managed to talk to a pc, and follow them out of the city.

watched my dad on a mayong raid, tons of people being slaughtered at the zl.
a week later i got my own account and made a woodie war, running around the noob lift scared to venture out too far into the forest for a few weeks. this was my first experience with online socializing too, meeting other level ones at the lift.. good times, i still love gfay

Lol I was originally a half elf bard on live. One of the first memories I have of EQ was begging money off of people at the gates in West Freeport. Someone eventually walked up and handed me 1k, so after some wandering and visiting almost every merchant in West and North Freeport I ended up in East Freeport buying a set of plate armor off of a merchant and spending most (if not all) of the money on merchant-bought plate.

Bought the game in July '99. Didn't want it to mess with football season so I didn't install it until something like October. Found out you needed a subscription to play and had to beg my dad to use his. He was awful nervous putting his cc info on the Internet.

I couldn't believe how amazingly real this game looked compared to warcraft I on my sweet 16MB graphics card. I roll a dwarf paladin on brell. Ran around a bit. I meet up with this elf that talks me into going to crushbone. Through pitch black night with thieves trying to rob us on the way we journeyed on. Finally we get there. Seemed like forever.

We zone in, I follow him around, and I fall in the moat. No idea how to swim or climb ladders. I drown. He tells me to run back, from kaladim. I said naw and rerolled.

I rolled a gnome wizard and my friend told me to run to GFay. He gave me a Water Crystal Staff and Skull of Jhen'tra, then I got lost and died and couldn't find my corpse. At the time, under level 5, the corpse rotted in 30 minutes. I felt terrible.

Then my sister saw me playing the game, I agreed to share the account with her (terrible idea), and she became addicted and I never got to play. On the rare occasion I did get to play, she'd stand over my shoulder and watch.
