Well, it has EQ in it, so... I guess it does.

Bought the game the first week it was released. I remember fondly those tremendous "trains' out of CRUSHBONE and BLACKBURROW,with some people laughing out loud and some being in a fit of rage! God that was some exciting gaming,that left you on the edge of your chair when you went inside a dungeon. Thanks p99 for all you have done!

Started playing pre-Kunark, I can't remember the exact day, but it was somewhere around Dec. 99 - Feb. '00. I remember this was the first time I played an MMO, so wanted to talk to other players. I had made a high elf, so ran out of the city to find people, next thing I know, I was dead, said killed by Orc Pawn. So I ran back out again...killed by Orc Pawn. Me being a noob, didn't realize this as a mob, and thought it was some wise-ass player who named himself Orc Pawn, so I started yelling through the zone "Damn you Orc Pawn, fight me like a man you noob!" And got thoroughly lol'ed at. Good times....

1999, A friend I worked with kept talking about Everquest, and begged me to play, I didn't even own a computer, so I bought the game, ordered my computer from gateway and played for the next 6 years.

Pre-ordered EQ and bought a new computer for it (Dell with a Riva TNT card). Had the EQ disc installed before the servers were up.

There were a lot of server outages and downtime those first months. I settled on the Brell Serilis server since it was being called the "role playing preferred" server and made Quem and Quemn the day Brell opened.

Tried to start in original, but couldn't find a local copy.
Had some friends who played and told me to wait abit, Kunark was right around the corner and started with that.

Kunark and Velious were by far my favourite times.

Played from launch for about a year and half ish, had a wood elf ranger, fell off the Kelethin platforms repeatedly the first day.

Started pre-Kunark. When Kunark came out I rolled Iksar and never looked back. I quit playing during OOM. I tried to go back to live last year but quit due to the overflow of boxers.

I started around Kunark - and never played any of Luclin.
