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 ^^/

I would only get to play on the weekends when he didnt want to play or needed a break from playing. He was super OCD and didn't like having my characters on his account, so every time i logged off and left his house, he would delete my character. I was torn to shreds the first day he deleted my epic level 5 human monk with 2 rusty warhammers. I had more level 5 monks within the first few months of the server then anyone else likely did.

Then i bought a new computer and the rest is history [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Welcome to the server!
sort of reminds me of a certain GM who would keep deleting my druids due to being maximum over rustled

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.
