God I just registered. I was that 13 year old kid too. I remember sitting at the newbie log in Nektulos or camping monolith and getting facerolled by the occasional mummy which random popped on our team. That was before they raped Nektulos. Once the servers are back up I anticipate rolling a bard. Though I may not be able to resist the appeal of the dark side again and I may go DE enchanter to relive the wonders of the Newbie log.

Somewhat similar situation here...my older bro turned me onto EQ sometime back around 2000, and the only time I got to play was when he wasn't on, which was RARE. I'd pretty much wait for him to go to sleep just so I could log onto EQ. Now I have my own comp, and he plays WoW.....really makes me realize how much can change in 10 years...

That being said getting to experience EQ as it was in the beginning is something I never got to do, as I didnt start till around 2000/2001, and I much anticipate re-experiencing making an Iksar when Kunark opens (Iksar Monk was my very first official 'main')
I'm sure 500 other people will be rolling an Iksar Monk, and FoB and Cabalis will be lagging out due to the number of Iksar players, but still, I anticipate it[You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Timing on experiencing this project coulden't have been more fitting either...just a few months before I found out about this I bought a Sega Master System and Sega Genesis off Ebay, along with all the games I remembered playing when I was anywhere from 5-12 years old, and got to relive the memories I had playing those. Now I can say that I've done that with EQ. And, just as I used to do as a 6 year old video game nerd, i've already broken one of the sega ms controllers by throwing it in a fit of nerd rage. In a similar situation, I'll admit to being one of those players who goes off in a fit or nerd rage over various bugs/glitches in the game. Getting back into old school EQ so much just hasn't left enough space to appreciate any effort that goes into keeping the server going....

Well, not very often I get into 'appreciative' moods like this, guess I had to take advantage of it while it lasted. Once this server gets up and running again, I'm sure I, like many others, will find something in classic EQ to complain about. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

However, I feel like now is the right time to make a post like this. Not only because it has been sitting in my head for far too long, but also because of the recent issues related to patches and gameplay.

First of all I want to say this: screw you.

Yes, screw you players who pollute these boards with demoralizing, non-constructive posts, from bitching about recent bugs related to patches, to tearing down the integrity of the developers and initiating conspiracy theories. I hope you realize that this server is hosted by other true lovers of the wonderful game that once was EverQuest, and are spending lots of their own time and money to make sure you can relive the experience.

For me personally, it takes me back to a time when I first began playing EverQuest. I was a chubby little 13 year old in middle school (I really wasn't so little; more just chubby) and I would scurry home, toss my backpack on the couch and get as many hours of gameplay in before Mom got home from work and kicked me off the household computer. Now I am reliving that scenario somewhat, 10 years later; as soon as I get home from work, I drop my car keys, kick off my work boots and load up the game. A lot has changed in 10 years, but not my love for the true Classic EverQuest Experience.

So this is it, devs. This is what I really want to say: you kick ass. I hope you know how many players truly appreciate what you do, the time you put into this project, and the fact that it is truly free. For every one person who is trying to tear it down; there will be 10 people to keep it going. We are behind you, and I know I don't speak just for myself when I pledge my loyalty, support and undying appreciation for all the time and money you pour into this server every day, every hour. Thank you, thank you, thank you!

I don't know what you're asking but I thought the post was pretty damn good and funny. The picture is a good one.

No the OP was saying people are trying to ruin this and pats the devs on the backs for hard work. I just don't see anyone trying to tear it down. Again, I don't read all posts though and in the grand scheme I'm fairly new here.
