First EQ Memory

[Valdarious]

I remember watching my friend play for the first time. I think he either started a druid or a ranger since he started in Surefall Glade. I remember just realizing that this was in 3d instead of UO like were we playing previously.
I remember being amazed at about everything and it taking sooo long to get a cool magical weapon.

[webrunner5]

I started a Female High Elf Cleric in 2000 and when I went into Greater Faydark to fight, I thought I had Cerebral Palsy. I could not hit a wasp to save my butt for about 3 days. I remember my son saying it's easy lol. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.] Yeah right! [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

[SyanideGas]

Getting lost in Qeynos, rerolling.

[Gaxx]

I broke my arm and couldn't ride my bike, etc. so I bought this cool game called Everquest that I saw in PC Gamer. My first character was a woof elf druid. Running around Gfay and Kelethin listening to the awesome music and feeling like I was immersed in a huge multiplayer world for the first time got me absolutely hooked.

[Velerin]

Wood elf druid. With my crappy video card the trees were all screwy and you couldn't see the platforms. After countless deaths I made a half elf druid in Surefall, got to level 5 and fell in that blackburrow pit and lost my body. Made a human mage named Velerin. Never played an elf again in 15 years. I hate elves.

[nilbog]

Created Nilbog the paladin in Qeynos. He was awesome with all points into charisma and intelligence.

Found Qeynos Hills..and a rabid wolf found me. I decided to fight and see what lay on hands was all about. When the wolf hit me, my target switched back to the npc, and I layed on hands the rabid wolf. I think this mechanic was changed early on, and probably for good reason.

That's my first eq memory.

[Halius]

My friend showed me this game when we were at his house. I was watching him play is 30 something warrior and thought it was the coolest game I had ever seen, he even let me make a cleric and fight around in EC, thought I was the shit with cloth armor and a rusty mace.

I went home and used my hard earned chore money (was 13 at the time) and went and bought the game only to find out that our computer was obsolete and wouldn't run it. So I grabbed my dad's work laptop while he was gone and tried to install it on that only to find out that the internet connection didn't work on it. Took about a month of begging my parents for them to buy a updated computer. After that all I can remember is getting so incredibly pissed when someone would pick up the phone to make a call and make me go LD, damn you AOL!

The effin guidebook said you need charisma to speak languages well.

Lol. I seem to remember the guidebook being terrible. Didn't it say humans leveled the fastest?

Still have my guidebook from Prima, the OFFICIAL source for Everquest RoK info.

Some awesome little plot blurbs in here - one about some barbs duping a gnome for a map to Nagafen's lair, one about the Frog king's rousing speech for his army against the undead frogs of LGuk, one about some iksar thieves stumbling into Howling Stones, etc.

Lots of useless info about how much shit sells to a vendor for, and mob stats.

Anyways - first memory - making a female wood elf warrior at my friends house, rambling about to the kelethin tune, smacking bats and wondering why some dude was following me around. Til he finally hit me. Little did I know I had rolled on RZ. Have been Red ever since.
