I remember back when kunark was released I had a 60 necro and just got arch lich/emissary of thule and I celebrated by going into oasis during prime time and running around with all the spectres (making sure not to train anyone mind you) while my friend from my guild was yelling in /ooc that the GM's spawned a special event. Had a good laugh for 2 hours or so as there was probably 100 or so people in the zone trying to follow me around.

Heres my 2cp

Back when i Played on live i would hold the kelethin high jump contests and offer people upto 500pp if they could survive a jump off of some of the platforms in kelethin (asshole move i know) So i would shout to the zone to come to the Gfay bank and meet me there to lead people up the ramp by the bank(if not higher) to jump off to see if they could survive the landing for PP and or items. For some people i would invite them to a group and split upto 1000 copper..... oh man great times, lots of deaths and funny times.

So...

Back when they implemented the feature where you could spawn as a mob and run around and attack people I had a low lvl wizard that for whatever reason was in Gfay at the time.

Being bored out of my skull, as wizard usually led me to be, I decided to try and have some fun with this new feature.

I started shouting in zone "The Wood Elves have repressed us for too long my minions! Come to me at the druid stones and we shall assault them in force and the trees shall be stained red with their blood!"

After 30mins or so of this shouting I had gathered a group of 40 or so Players who had spawned as orc's and other assorted mobs.

I proceeded to tell them how the plan is to run around and slay any noobies we can find.

We gathered on a hill above one of the lifts.

"Do not charge till you see the whites of their eyes my minions!!" I shouted

A lift started to descend and the mob of minions started to inch forward in anticipation of the slaughter.

Right before the lift hit the ground I cast my PBAOE and one shotted them all.

OMG Grahm that is so funny! That story rocks. My first dude was a monk back in 1999 and it took me a while to figure that out too, not quite as dramatic but killer story, thanks!

I'll never forget the day I was introduced to EverQuest, I was spending the night at a friends house when he insisted I had to see this new game he had just bought. After watching him play for what seemed like an eternity, I decided to give this interesting new game a shot. I rolled a Human Warrior and soon set off on my journey into this new, unexplored and terrifying land. After nearly 4 hours of playing, I had finally reached the heroic level 3 and was prepared to move into the East Commonlands with my newbie sword, tunic and random cloth pieces to terrorize orcs, wolves and whatever else I may find. Another several hours and numerous deaths later, I was finally level 6; I felt like a true hero, nothing could touch me, I could do as I pleased, the creatures surrounding me were all cowering in my sight and I had my way with them whenever I pleased, that was, until......I decided to camp.

Caught up in this mystical world, I was finally broken from my trance as I heard my friends dad venture down into the basement. By this time, I had neglected my friend for nearly 7 hours, a teenage boy of only 15 had left the boring planet earth to join Norrath, and for the time, only that mattered. Furious that I had been on his computer, at his house, for nearly 7 hours, he insisted that I log off immediately, "Close down that game now and come upstairs, for the love of God!". Maybe he was right, perhaps it was time to log and try my hand at reality once more, so I did as I was instructed 7 hours earlier, entered the inn, clicked camp, and waited for the timer to tick down as I watched my character sway gently in his indian style seated position. "Orc stom, Orc kill, Orc weapons your blood will spill!" I WAS BEING ATTACKED...I had to stand up and defend myself, I couldn't camp with something on me, I knew that by now! After killing the Orc, I tried camping again, 15 seconds into the process, I heard the loud barking of a wolf and the cracking of my very bones, I WAS BEING ATTACKED....I had to stand up and defend myself, I couldn't camp with something on me, I knew that by now!

My friends father entered the computer room again, furious that I had denied his request for me to log and instead, heard me slaying Orcs and wolves. I tried defending my position, letting him know that you can't camp while being attacked, but alas, his foolish earthly understanding had no clue; still, I complied and agreed to camp. I clicked 'sit, camp' again, and waited patiently as the timer began to tick once again. 5 seconds left, my journey was coming to an end when I heard the familiar cackle of a skeleton who had seen his flesh covered victim, it was so real, I nearly felt his bony fist hit my skull! I WAS BEING ATTACKED...I had to stand up and defend myself, I couldn't camp with something on me, I knew that by now! So I stood back to my feet and began the battle with the familiar decaying skeleton that had been my enemy many times before.

By this time, if you hadn't guessed, my friends father was irate, he had no idea, the seriousness of this situation! This was war! Literally! A WAR! AND HE HAD NO CONCERN FOR MY LIVELY-HOOD! I angrily insisted there was NO WAY to camp while being attacked and tried to camp in front of him, of course, this process failed as yet another Orc stormed the doorway of the Inn and proceeded to make mincemeat of me. My friends dad was furious, even with him standing over my shoulder, I had appeared to disregard his wish and stood again to fight the devilish green beast. At this time, he reached to the computer, angrily hit the power button and stormed off....and at that very moment, my war in Norrath ended, just as quickly as it had started. The next time I logged on, I simply couldn't find that inn again, it might as well have been a 1000 mile forest with only one house in it, I swear, it didn't exist anymore, and I eventually determined that the things I once wore were no more. Looking back on it now, I realize the inn I was in, seems to be practically in plain sight, and that the middle of EC wasn't the best place to camp. I'll never forget the day my friends dad wanted to kill me over a game, or how terrible of a friend I was to my buddy for that whole day. 12 years later, and we're still friends, exploring the same world together as we did in 1999, thanks to a server, created by people who had a love for the game the same way we did.

Whether I win any of the plat matters not, i'm glad I get to read other peoples first experiences into EQ and will never forget my own! Happy hunting!!

I had a roomate that talked me into playing in 99 and loved the game instantly. Went to work that night on an overnight stock crew and talked about the game to some of the guys I worked with and some of them said they were going to go out and buy it when they got off. I gave them the server name and what zone I was playing in so they could maybe come kill some orcs with me on orc hill. Was playing later that day on orc hill and some dipstick named Kozzi was running around the hill yelling for help left and right and died. Tried to help him a few times and got into an arguement with him about what he was doing wrong and if he wanted help to come to us or take it to the guards. On the way back to Kelethin later I saw like 10 Kozzi corpses.
When I got back to work that night I was telling some of them more about the game as a few of them got copies and made some noobs. Got into the story about Kozzi and his corpses when another employee got to work. He told us he got the game and it was awesome. And his characters name was Kozzi. We all laughed so damn hard cuz it was just the perfect timing.

I had many characters on Fennin Ro. Suedadar was my drunk paladin. I leveled him to about 15, and then decided I didnt want to play him anymore for leveling. But then I decided I could still use him for something. So when i was bored in the game I'd log him in and always made him a raging alcoholic. He would only hang out in Gfay, Drink, propose to wood elf female players using the cheap engagement ring(which he carried most of his inventory).

One day the GMs decided to have an event in Gfay and I think around 4-5 GMs came into zone playing NPC named fairies. They were mostly harmless trickster types, made it snow in the zone(weather only, no change to the landscape obviously).

Suedadar in a drunken stupor stumbles his way to the orc hill hearing there are many fairies there. Seeing them do pranks like cast blinding spells on the new players fighting orcs on the hill, he cheers them on(the fairies). Seeing they know good fun, he then starts giving some of his alcohol to the fairies and telling them to drink up, downing about 5 himself. This evolved into his womanizing antics and so he starts proposing to the fairies by trading rings to them(in a give window like quest turn-in). After 3 or so gives one of the fairies blushes and a give window popped up without my doing anything. In the window in the top slot was a paw of opolla. He asks if it is for him, the fairy nods. The only option was "give" as it was NPC trade window. But seeing as I didnt own a paw of opolla on this character I decided to hit it even though they were trickster fairies and I figured it was a joke.

Sure enough after I hit that there was a paw of opolla in my inventory. And it never disappeared. I later sold it for some plat, but after that day Suedadar always spoke of the fairy maiden he was betrothed to(he assumed the paw gift was her acceptance).

Hope you enjoyed the story.

For better or worse here is a fun story to share.

[Preamble]
When I first started EQ that was years ago I started playing a monk, and I chose Rallos Zek, seemed like that would be fun. I was so new that I loaded up on leather armor without realizing there was weight penalty. And soon I realized that people wanted to kill me for it because RZ had item loot and griefing. And I used to get killed a lot at that time, often by the same people who just stayed in low level brackets for pvp.

[The Real Story]
So few month go by and I started playing an enchanter instead and eventually make it to Oasis leveling on crocs. And I get attacked by this wizard who used to kill my monk back in the days. There were a lot of usual pk's who simply leveled to 24 and stopped so they could pk in oasis. This was the same wizard. Well, this time he attacked me too late and I actually was finished with the npc fight by the time his root got me. Being an enchanter, half life, about half mana I had to do the only thing I could do. Charm him to pause him for a minute. There was this named giant locally that reminded me of Saddam Hussein. So I suddenly got an idea, and sent my new found pet to go punch the giant, while I ran for the zone when roots worn off.

I come back to the zone after zoneout, and that wizard cusses me out in /tells and threatens me. And lucky enough I run into him again a few minutes later. And the same story happened again, we went to have a talk with another giant.

Never had a problem with the same wizard again. I think that was the most rewarding pvp encounters ever for me. Since most were rather heartbreaking and painful.

So for anyone who ever got harrassed and killed out there on rallos, just remember it isn't always that bad. Bad guys get theirs eventually too.

Several months later when my co-workers and I were higher in level we would get off work early in the morning and group up. We would usually have between 4-6 of us so it was really convenient. We were talking at the store right after work one day and were saying how we would all meet up in the Rathe Mountains to do some hunting. My grocery manager asked me where the Rathe Mountains were and what we were hunting. Well, the look on her face when I tried to explain what we were doing was a combination of confusion, disappointment, and then sympathy. Those were fun times. I always pittied the player that would join us to make 6. They were always in for some harrassment.
