When/Where did you play?

[zalemander]

I began playing everquest. My very first character was a ogre warrior created December 12, 1999.

My first character of note to max level was my cleric, Docterz. I played on Cazic Thule with him in a guild Called The Relentless into early/mid POP. At this point a few real life friends jumped ship to move to Maelin.

While on Maelin server, i decided cleric was no longer for me, and i began my wonderful journey as a Human monk named Denon. Denon was played from PoP - Prophecy of Ro. I was in a guild named Assent until the release of Depths of Darkhollow. This is when I went soft on the game, and began wow'ing it up.

I'm up in the sticky thread but I guess I'll post up here too.

Started just before Kunark on Innoruuk/Nameless, guild Silent Resurgence. <3 Peagrinder, DoW if I remember right?

[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
Op’s

Morsakin, DE Cleric in Legacy of Sorrow on Luclin followed by Township Rebellion on Stormhammer.

Ended up retiring shortly after GoD was released.

[Trademaster]

Drazzit magician from Seventh Hammer, had to leave the server when a roommate/guildie went extra double loony. She got fired from her job and wouldn't leave her room except to go to the bathroom (I hope anyway) and after three months of not paying rent, I kicked her out (with a 30 day notice even) That turned me into one of the foulest, most despicable person ever, ruthlessly kicking her out of my house without warning, and she had no place to go, and dang it she was always on line to help out other guild members with anything, etc. etc. etc.

Sprengerae was my magician born on Brell after that debacle. He made it to 51 (with 18 AAs I think)

[Ploppy]

I was on Lanys as a high elf pally named Deolyen. The only people I remember playing with there was Devi/Kaio.

On Vazaelle I swas Caylan half elf warrior and Ploppy the froglok wizard. I was the 3rd or 4th froglok to make max level. I was with PO for awhile then I took a break from EQ and when I came back I just hung out with old friends and some CC folk. I transfered Ploppy from Vaz to Morden Rasp to play with Baldrik and Eaman for awhile until I got too busy for it again. Those were some fun times.

[sgallaty]

I started eq at the beginning of phase 2 beta. My friends were in alpha and I was one of their referrals.

I played through beta with a paladin (gnar) that got absolutely nowhere, and then switched to a troll shaman and finally a human rogue which I made some progress with (skinner).

I was wrong-headed about the game, and shunned all of my friends' attempts at getting me involved in raiding and group activities all throughout beta.

In final, we all went to mithmarr. My buddies were in successful raid guilds, and I was dicking around roleplaying and whatnot. Later, most of the folks I knew migrated to test where I recreated my rogue (skinner) and was moderately successful and focused.

Finally when kunark was released I created an iks warrior and really had my first truly gratifying experience with EQ. I levelled up, formed groups and made friends, and found people to team up with and became accepted as one of the better up and coming tanks.

I hit a serious slump after kunark and before velious because of a lack of available armor for iksar which hurt my contention for tanking in planes raids. Fortunately I was able to tag along and pick up some Legionnaire scale which bumped me close to par with other pre-pog/pre-kael armor MTs.

Probably the most fun I had in eq was the velious beta, which is my favorite expansion by far and of course was the expansion where verant removed the 'seperate loot for iks' which meant that I could participate in raids with an equal footing on dkp/drop rotation.

[Maestron]

I started EQ just a few weeks before Kunark and quit just after my first Luclin Raid. Started with a mage (Maestron) then switched to enchanter (Fissel). I was in Revenants, Bruin's Marauders and Apex*. After way to much in guild drama I stopped guilding. I did OK on pick up raids and as filler with some guilds.

*I remember going through the applications for Apex. Having to group up with them to show I was a player of quality [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]. Very funny in retrospect. They were one of the better guilds on the server in 99/00. I even switched from mage to enchanter to be considered. never regretted that. Enchanter is a blast.

Luclin Server
Mage :: Maestron
Enchanter :: Fissel
