I remember in 1999 when I wanted to use the bank in Neriak I had to run from EC tunnel through snow, sandstorms, hurricanes, and tornado's past raging guards with lazer-blasters and griffins with MLRS rocket launchers.

I think its to easy now.

P.S. I was also bound in Qeynos for some reason.

hahahahhahahahhaha

yea... I remember portin out from North FP and instead of zoning, getting thrown straight up in the sky, all around me was just the blue and clouds. I could walk along a certain pathway, but other than that I was SCREWED. Was a warrior with no gate. took a week to /petition my way into some help.

Also remember how the thought of a rez was just out of the question. Rez? what that be?

I remember getting stuck underneath WC. I could look up and watch the mobs and PCs running around. Even the guides had difficulty locating me, before summoning me.

Summoning a pet and having no clue how to command it.

Starting in Neriak. Giving up because you couldn't find your way out of Neriak.

Being killed by guards in Kaladim because you worship Rallos Zek.

Watching corpses pile up at zone to Erudin in Tox because Rungupp was constantly being trained there and was not KOS to guards.

Being killed by druids for killing animals.

Being charmed by the Nec in Tox and being forced to kill your party before being released, alive.

Running ten times invisibly in circles around Beholder at night not being able to figure out how to get to Runnyeye. Looking at those eyes over and over...

Having 80 spiders agro on you everytime you tried to kill just one in Feerot.

Yep, my first toon was a DE Necro. My first night was getting lost in Neriak for hours....I was still enthused by the game. Then....enter the newbie log. Why is this skeleton attacking me! AHH where did all my stuff go when I died?!

Needless to say I never found that characters corpse, deleted that toon then I rolled a human bard and life was easier.

Ragequitting my first two characters because they were Barbarian and Erudite, had no night vision, and could not find my way past the newbie zones' winding zonelines. Kept zoning back and forth in the dark. Problem was finally solved after some mysterious higher level character gave me a lantern (AND a Runed Totem Staff aka the best weapon ever made ever).

Getting a huge rush when I looted Polar Bear skins in Everfrost because I knew about the super secret Halas quest for leather armor.

Hitting level 9, getting SoW, making the absolutely terrifying run from Halas to Freeport while tracking my progress on my handy cloth map. Seeing the Highpass Ramp and being completely blown away at how cool it was to be climbing up to the top of the EQ world.
