Hehe Narzugon, I'm sure it is a relatively common story or variation of [You must be logged in to view images.

Hey man welcome. Your timeline actually sounds pretty similar to mine. I originally got Velious in December 2000 when I was 16 and in high school. At the time I had never played an online game before. I didn't realize you needed base EQ to play the game. As I was looking at Christmas ads in the paper I saw Fry's Electronics had Base/Kunark & Velious on sale so I picked that up and eventually finally started playing. I rolled a High Elf paladin and promptly drowned in the moat near the entrance to town.
I had an old PC and dial up internet at the time. Gfay was a bustling zone and somehow I made my way to Kelethin and eventually Crushbone. My new friends showed me how to turn in orc belts in Kaladim, and eventually took me on the boat to Freeport - that was EPIC. When Luclin came out, my PC couldn't handle it. I didn't realize you could turn off Luclin graphics, so I got a new computer instead and begged my parents for high speed internet. As others have said, although PoP marked the beginning of the end, that is where I really came into my own, as I had graduated high school in 2002 and could devote a lot more time to playing EQ instead of going to community college. My best memories include finally beating RZTW for EP flagging, and dropping Fennin Ro on our first try with 80+ people not that we were zerging, but just that level of excitement at being EP flagged. Then of course continuing on with Time and then into GoD. By the time Dragons came out it was time for me to hang it up. But obviously this game has a hold on us which is why this server is here and all of us are here, so welcome back to EQ my friend! | ||

Entering crushbone back in classic era and making friends with other wood elf characters, starting a guild from scratch and vowing later on to always stick together and never join the bigger guilds
All fell apart and server forum type drama ensued Pretty much the same as what used (?) to go on here!

Got eq early 2000 before Kunark released. Remember being on the edge of my chair when I zoned into Unrest for the first time, seeing the corpses at the zone in mixed with the sounds of groaning undeads.

One of my favourite memories of original eq was the time I was playing my first char, a barbarian warrior, and a lvl 55 shaman buffed me up in EC tunnel. I ran out to the orc highway and soloed a red con orc. Felt ultra badass.

One of my favorite memories from old skool Live EQ was actually a completely horrible experience and I probably should have quit over it.
I was fucking around in Kedge Keep with my mage who was probably about 57 at the time (Luclin was not fully on the radar yet). I had bound myself at the entrance and made the mistake of drinking a little bit too much [real] whisky... Fast forward some time later as I'm waking up from a drunken snooze. The number of corpses at the zone entrance was unbelievable... I'd passed out at the keyboard for some unknown amount of time and de-leveled from 57 all the way down somewhere into level 53 from a death loop of endless drowning. I left Kedge Keep hoping that no one would enter that zone and see my mess for at least a full week. Exciting! [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]
