Classic EQ to me...

[Sonark]

Booting up the game for the first time with my uncle (I still have the original account we made together) and making an Ogre Warrior and getting to about level 3 and then not knowing how to get anywhere or do anything and just dying a lot

Which segued into him making a High Elf Paladin, and me just watching him play that for a long time, occasionally playing for him/with him.

Then I think he told me about the expansion coming out, and how you could be lizard people, and then I got really excited, but made a Dwarf Warrior named Arkenstone (not a name that would work anymore, I don't think) to wile away the hours until.

He/we got his Paladin to level 10 or something in the meantime. Very high level to me back then.

Then I think I made an Iksar Monk, and kept re-rolling new Iksars to try out all the classes and liking them all except Shaman.

Then my uncle re-rolled as a wizard, and I used to wake up in the middle of the night when he'd get home from work (was living with my family and working evenings) and watch him play instead of sleeping.

Good times.
