LOl starting in Qeynos near the caster guild, and not being able to see my way anywhere, due to night vision. Had to wait hours for someone to guide me.. lol. And that tiny little screen..$$$

The epic feeling you got by doing something/exploring somewhere....

and the lore. Reading that for the first time was amazing.

I remember my first day playing I accidently attacked my class trainer while trying to type whatever it was he said in [brackets]. I think he hit me once for 350. It was a quick death.

i remember suddenly ending up with some badass lowbie gear due to drive by twink/quest help from some higher levels. Was around level 9 with a Short Sword of Morin, Full Banded, and a PGT bagged.

Making a high elf paladin.
Falling in the river in Felwithe.
Drowning because I could not figure out quickly enough how to swim.

Seeing the Highpass Ramp and being completely blown away at how cool it was to be climbing up to the top of the EQ world.

Along with dieing COUNTLESS times to lag in Kelethin going up and down on those lifts, as a result of my PC not being able to handle EQ's graphics. I eventually started running to Felwithe to sell and bank. And to drown, of course... [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

No Scammer casinos trying to gouge plat for RmT purposes.

Bronze armor was good armor

Getting nukes while at the bank by oblate i'n telethon and NFP.

Need before greed actually worked because no one had shit.

Made a druid, got him to level two pure melee (had no idea he had spells or how to scribe them). Someone gave me an FS Scimitar and i was GODLY. Got to level 3, got lost in Gfay, died to an orc centurion. Couldn't find my corpse after an hour, then someone told me corpses rot in 30 mins. Rage quitted, re-rolled a HE rogue. My RL friend made a HE paladin at the same time. I leveled the rogue to 4, using a rusty longsword. My friend got given a bronze 2hs. Was uber jealous of how much more powerful his paladin was - my rogue couldn't even use a 2hs and couldn't tank half so well!!

Rage quitted again and re-rolled a dark elf SK. That was my main through classic and kunark.
