I used to think I started playing during late Velious but looking back now it seems I actually started during Luclin but I only had the original Trilogy.

I think I was around 25 at the time.

Start Date: July 19, 1999. To be honest, I was peer-pressured into buying the game from a few of my friends - I never really wanted to. But I'm glad I did. Easily the best game I've ever played.

Started in Beta.. played through Kunark. Loved every minute.

I remember at creation I was torn between a cleric and a shadow knight. Started up a HIE cleric, and was greeted by the majesty of Felwithe gates, never looked back again. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

I remember one christmas my brother in law bought me a copy of baldurs gate 2. I was so excited. I had never played video games all that much. We were both big into DnD and when baldurs gate was released (it may have even been bg1) it was the sickest game supposedly. Well I digress, with the copy of baldur's gate was included a printout of a receipt for EQ pre-order. I had no idea what EQ was at the time. He began telling me of the different combination of classes and races and how there was no storyline driven events, such as it was in DND or other games. There was no mod. It was just a whole new experience. I couldn't grasp the concept of a world that was never offline. Even when I was not playing, other people were. It amazed me.

That was my breakthrough into MMOs. I have yet to find the same experience with any MMO that I've played. I remember rolling my first char. A monk in freeport, using 2 rusty warhammers and cloth armor, with 400 copper thinking I was rich. I love you p99.

I beta tested for the original Everquest back before kunark was even thought of... played on the Rathe server. Saw the last day of beta event where mithaniel marr fought against Innoruk in the East Commons was something that I will never forget.

Default Kunark

Started right after Kunark was released, made a human wizard, died about 18 times before I said "I hate this game!" A couple months later, my sister asked me to give it a try again, made an Iksar Shaman, and since then, I've never truly left the game, I take a lot of extended hiatuses, but always seem to come back eventually.
