Did you actually play on 99

[Nataz]

I started in the EQ beta phase 4 on the Rathe beta server, then on release day I started a dwarf pally on Veeshan that I played until august -99 when Vallon Zek opened and I moved there for good. Quit VZ in 2004/2005. When Kunark came out in 2000 I played a troll shaman (on VZ) just below lvl 50. I now play a lvl 20 toon so it's fun to see Kunark from the lower level perspective. I miss the pvp tingling feeling tho.

Edit: I found out the other day that I have tons of screenshot saved from those days incase someone is interested, perhaps if you were a member of Chaos Overlords or Draconic Tribe on VZ. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Wedding gift!?!

Personally I eventually broke up with a GF more or less because of the EQ-addiction I had back then. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.] [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

I started early enough to remember looking at my damn spell book to med. I'm not sure if that was 99 but it was before Kunark from what I remember.

What ended Sept '09 -- the marriage or the game?

That was well after Kunark release. I didn't start until after Kunark, and I remember tanking on my pally in OT in the 30s still lookin' at the book while the puller shouted out the INCs.

I started in April 99 on Innoruuk playing a cleric. My guild was Lords of Aesir (later Lords of Edelo after a guild merger). I eventually dinged L50 in late December and got my full set of purple Hate armour around about the time of Kunark. I eventually retired at L56during Velious as I discovered the raiding grind was not for me. I burned out.

I came back with a new account after a few months and over the next few years made many alts, focusing on the grouping aspect of the game. I got a couple of epics (including 2 boxing my entire mage epic which perhaps is my proudest achievement - the PoA crown I soloed in the bazaar before anyone calls me on that!), my Velious prayer shawl, and two or three PoP flags but I never did come to enjoy raiding.

So I was always envious of the gear other people had and never got to set foot into a large number of zones, but I had plenty of fun.

I've been here less than a fortnight but I'm thoroughly enjoying P99. I'd love to play for hours on end like I used to but alas, I now have wife and babies, and they are NO DROP and high encumbrance [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

I was in 4th or 5th grade and I was at my neighbours house.(only place I could play video games) and we use to play Tanaris an online tank game also made by Verent. My buddies dad was a hotshot at the game and he got to beta test from the beginning. I remember he made a half elf druid and I was making fun of how stupid the trees looked. Needless to say we finally started playing and I was HOOKED. All I could think about in class was ny barbarian warrior and what adventures I would get into in everfrost and the dreaded blackburrow in school. Well my friend went to live with his mom in the summers so I had to go every summer with no eq until I finally got my own computer. But I digress, yes I was a 99'r

Tanaris? Wow... haven't thought about that game in a loooong time. Sure was some oldschool dialup fun, haha.
