I'm all for casual games! But sometimes you just want to be able to work for something and get rewarded for it. EQ did that really well. As I was playing last night all those bloody tooltips kept coming up and after my first death it read, "You've died! But since you're below level nine, you don't have to go back and get your stuff!" I laughed at that. Even EQ isn't what it was when it started. Gotta grow with the times I guess. (And I should probably install that Velious UI)

I started playing SWTOR when it first came out; the economy was so bloody broken I just flat out stopped playing. Found out about six months ago that my brother in law played it off and on so I tried it out again. They seemed to fix the major economic issues but all of the servers were deserted. I lasted a couple weeks before it got boring. Community makes a huge difference in MMOs!

I also had a stint in FPS's, but that didn't last nearly as long. The community there is absolutely terrible.

One of my first great memories was starting a Barbarian Warrior but my buddy was playing a halfling, and he was too scared to make the trip to Halas so I had to be the brave one (and it was more "roleplay" for my character to do it than his lol, being a warrior and all when he was just a tiny hobbit) and find a way accross the continent.

I died countless times on the way and lost my whole equipment a few times as well, until I found out one of the merchants sold Torches (night on a barbarian in classic was crazy pitch black o_o) so i killed ice goblins, saved up for one and that was the one piece of upgrade i needed to complete my quest! At level 3 or so now and basically naked with a Rusty Sword and a Torch I made it to Rivervale with some help from casters on the way for invisibility or other shenannigans [You must be logged in to view images.

I was very very proud to be the only barbarian in Rivervale and when the happy music started and all the little hobbits were starring at me amazed I was hooked ^^/

The cleric was out of mana....
The ranger said manana.....

Hahaha.

Welcome back dude.

I highly recommend a mage or necro to get back into the swing of things.

I've been debating rolling a monk if you wanna get together with someone on your first toon. PM me if so!

Oh can you spare some ray-shuns 'cause I sure need a drink? (Happy Saturday everyone!)

Ironically, I made a necro as my "remember what the game is like" toon. I've always gone with the "good" races, so this time I went for an Iksar. Should be interesting. New adventures incoming!

On the Discord server, I had a halfling get Donnie Brasco'd. Got to level 6, and as soon as I hit 6, the guys I was grouped with both attacked me. (PVP flagged at 6 on that server, pvp kills permadeath and corpse loot)

I started playing EQ in September of 1999, then putting it down towards the end of 2002. One of my favorite memories was starting with a HUM WAR in Qeynos. The first time I zoned into West Karana was frightening. It was around 2AM local time, so it was dark outside, as well as in the game.

I don't like spiders. Thinking that everything in West Karana was out to kill me, I hid in a hut, scared for my life. After I didn't hear anything for a few minutes, I left the hut and walked around. I then began to hear the dreaded sound that the spiders make. Turning around was the worst thing I did in game at the time, as there he was, a red eyed giant spider. I may have yelled.

I'm also back after a long hiatus, logging about three weeks so far. The game and community is great and I'm having a lot of fun. Welcome back.

The first time I played EQ I created a human ranger, since that's what I'd played in D&D. Back then you started in Surefall Glade and it was nighttime when my character landed. I couldn't see a thing and stumbled around blindly for a bit, fell into the pool, couldn't figure out how to get out (or to swim) and eventually drowned.
