Back when i was in the navy and stationed in japan i was playing dragonrealms on base decided to go with a few guys to a internet cafe off base and seen all these people playing ultima,realm and eq that was 1999-2000ish.Thats when i got my first taste of eq played it everyday then 9/11 happened and thats about teh time i stopped because i got deployed then came back around a xpac after PoP and relized the game lost its appeal to me.Thank god i just found p99.Feels like i get to start back off where i left off.

I watched my brother play Vanilla EQ for about a year until I begged and pleaded for a computer of my own to play it. He'd occasionally let me roll a newb character, but he was a real asshole about letting me play it for more than an hour or two before kicking me off.
By the time I had some autonomy, Kunark was already out. | ||

Played in my dad's account for a while when I was really, really young, like four or five. I didn't know how to do anything and totaled about an hour of playtime, but it was fun-ish. Hopefully I can turn and not get stuck in walls and not autoattack the Priest of Discord this time around.

I started playing Kunark not long after it came out but stopped playing until after Velious came out; but still only had the Kunark client for a long time. My first character I believe was a human monk named Laloan; which I think was just a auto generated name. I didn't much care for the character so I rolled a Gnome wizard named Balonstine. I didnt care for him much either so I made a Dark Elf rogue named Larcen. I really liked playing him but it was hard to solo and I had trouble finding groups. I ended up making a Dark Elf Necromancer named Malistrom and played him until 51. I then used him to farm hill giants and made a good amount of money. I then twinked out my rogue and he was my main character from there on out. My necro to this day only managed to get to level 52 but I loved playing him as well. I played exclusively on the Druzzil Ro server and ended up quitting several times until I finally finished playing with any regularity after DON. I played casually, like once a week or so, when they opened up the free-to-play but never really liked the whole cap system for the free account.

Thinking about it a little more, my first time seeing everquest was while I was at a friends house and I saw his step-dad playing everquest and running around doing a CR in one of the Karana's I think. This would have been pre-Kunark.

Bought the game the first week it was released. I remember fondly those tremendous "trains' out of CRUSHBONE and BLACKBURROW,with some people laughing out loud and some being in a fit of rage! God that was some exciting gaming,that left you on the edge of your chair when you went inside a dungeon. Thanks p99 for all you have done!
