Started a half elf paladin and split my starting points between agility and strength. Hit level 4 or so and went to EC and found a shaman killing the druids. He let me loot a bunch of fine steel weapons, I used one of them and sold the rest. Then a passing druid handed me a full suit of raw hide.
I thought I was hot shit, so I decided I wanted to journey to Qeynos. Actually made it through Kithicor at night, only to get killed by orcs in Highpass. Managed to get my corpse and went back to the commons where I found befallen. Wasn't long before I fell down the well near Llrodd and I never did get that corpse back. Was about level 6 by then and managed to get a full suit of cloth and a rusty sword from vendors, and decided to get on the boat and go to Faydwer. Fell off the boat in the middle of the ocean and spent what must have been 2-3 hours swimming around until I found an island.... where I got killed by an aqua goblin or something. About a week later I decided I wanted to be a high elf paladin and asked a guy in kelethin to help me transfer all my stuff. He logged off with it and never came back on. It wasn't even good stuff, like a full suit of banded and a fine steel weapon. This shattered my innocent 12 year old trust in the good of humanity and I moved to Rallos Zek with my brother where I spent a couple years being a complete douche to people. | ||

Since I can't remember my first login the way you want me too, I'll state what I can about my first few months starting in late march 1999... (barring a session of hypnosis)
1) I remember having to figure out credit card information... I remember where the computers was in the room... I remember having anticipation for the credit card being validated 2) I remember being amazed that it was a 3d world with other people! 3) The framerate was choppy in Qeynos (i had a voodoo 2 and like 300mhz cpu) 4) I remember fletching arrows 5) I remember blackburrow being a pvp slaughter house with people looting each other's whole corpses 6) I remember waking up past midnight on March 19 1999 and looking out my window at the stars... Went outside and had an ominous feeling... In the morning we talked about a ufo... All of this feels more recent strangely than EQ does even though it happened several days before I installed EQ... 7) I remember making a monk friend... i think his name started with X... 8) He was a roleplayer and died bravely in North Karana fighting an enemy of his 9) I ran around all over the place, you better believe it... tons of playtime, not very many levels I wish I could remember better. It's all very very fuzzy. I'd give money to remember the memories clearly. The human brain is a machine that generalizes everything into abstracted pyramids with increasing detail towards the base but it's still all subject to the wizard of oz. I wish it were clearer. The passage of time either wipes things away or it changes them, almost exclusively.
