Noobs report in!

[tj218]

I think the highest I got between 1999-2001 was level 38. Biggest reason was I played on Vallon Zek, so I devoted a large percentage of my time to hunting other players. I had a Dark Elf Rogue, and a Wood Elf Rouge...if someone on the Elf team irritated me, I made it a mission to hunt them with the Darkie, and vice-versa. Ooooo how I loved sneaking up to a meditating caster and backstabbing. "Oh noes!"

I'm already level 29 in under a month on this server (and not hard-core playing either).....and I am starting to miss the variety that PvP allowed. It really opened the game up IMO.

I had real life step in a few times (mostly just college semesters would start) so i'd play for a while and then leave and then come back with months long gaps. I quit shortly after Luclin was released.

I never made it to every Plane. I think i was only in Hate and Fear ever. I killed Gorenaire (got to bard kite her to OOM [You must be logged in to view images.

I think I wore a Vindicator BP when I quit from that one Giants zone, which I can't recall the name of. Was that in Velious or Kunark? I remember getting lost in kunark jungles around the old sebilis area.

I had a 52 druid on a pvp server pre and post kunark, retired her, and then a 60 bard on a pve server when 60 was still the max. I might've had 10aa points when i quit. I did have my epic. There were very few high level bards. I recall about 5-8 on the server. People were often shocked i could keep 4 mobs mezzed if they knew we could do that at all. Shrug. I was pissed I never got the mask that would make me a gnome. I always wanted to go deep into The Hole and never got to. I never got to see sleeper's tomb or whatever it was called. Booooo.

Anyway I know nothing about the other planes. I actually know quite little about a lot of the stuff that was "big" during my layoffs. I have little memory of ever fighting in Highhold even before expansions.

Some of you might know everything, but I know that I never spent days scouring for secrets on websites or talking to people about them. I just play and experience it mostly.

Much like many of us here.

Oh, you're talking about the EQ zone.

I was a ridiculous noob back in the day (played a Dark Elf SK and leveled it to about 27 in the space of almost two years of playing). I play a Bard now but I think the fact that I knew so little about it going in has actually benefited me, because I can never whine about how the class doesn't meet my classic expectations, because I never played one before. This means that I make the best of what I have rather than rerolling at 27 like some morons when they find out that swarm kiting is bugged.

I stopped around Luclin because the game was really just too much for my crappy internet at the time, plus my parents were too poor to afford it.

Bumping this thread for fresh votes and to point out that 20% of respondents thus far had never reached 50.

[Noleafclover]

Everyone does know everything, if they have a desire to. The knowledge is floating around on the internet - are you upset that you're a newbie w/ respect to the Totemic quests? Check allas. Raid strat? google it, or ask your guildies who have.

That's more what is meant by "everyone knows everything." Most of the knowledge is confirmable with ease, and someone surely knows so if you want to know something you can.

While I hit 50 more than once, my highest level character was 56 or 57. Can't remember now.

[Elissa]

Got to level 54 at max, but had numerous alts 30 and 40+. Shoulda focused on one [You must be logged in to view images.

Excited for kunark since it feels like brand new stuff to me [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

I quit at 66 (only because I was max xp 65 when OoW came out) and 100 or so AAs. It's strange, I did a lot of classic: bb, cb, sola, guk, hhk, oot, all kinds of weird classic spots. May not seem like a lot but I started right after pop came out and quit basically after OoW came out, so that much classic was odd I think for the time. But i did almost no kunark and only really kited wyvs in velious (wizard). I raided NToV once I think and that goddamn statue probably a hundred times, and then it was to luclin and VT and then I think my guild (Verocitus:Maelin Starpyre) got about halfway through PoP before I packed it in when the cap got raised to 70. I loved the amazingly intricate PoP raids, but OoW and more leveling for the sake of leveling bored me. So, I am extremely excited about classic because I got to see almost none of it.
