Come play Alb on Genesis with me. Have made some friends but always good to start with other starters.

One of my buddies that I grouped with a bunch wound up in the same guild. Turns out he plays here, too, actually.

I'll have to take a look at this when I get home from work tonight. Would be fun to get that game up and running again.

Velious killed my pc, but i didn't explore to much kunark content when it was endgame.

The day i installed velious, it took me 10 minutes to get from server select to char select assuming it didn't crash then another 10 minutes from select to in game assuming no crash.

Once in game it was simply unplayable couldn't even move really, hold down forward nothing nothing nothing 30 seconds later id take a few steps.

The only cool thing though was sometimes i would get put into slowmo mode where everything on the screen just moved slower im sure it was the same serverwide but it was great watching my dorf do rolls in slowmo

Velious didn't slow my computer much, but I remember when Luclin came out and my comp only had 256 RAM. I remember being jealous of my friend who had 1GB and was able to load all the new models, I was limited to picking 1 or 2 new ones.

I first started in 2004, after hearing some guy say
"I played EQ for 1 year and got bored".
It made me think - "wow, if it takes someone a year
to get bored with a game, it must be awesome!".

Back then, there weren't many lowbies around, so leveling was kind of
tricky.. fortunately there were friendly high levels around
to show me the ropes.

Once I got to lvl 20, I got the "mysterious voice" message
and nobody would tell me what it is.
Eventually I figured out how to play LDON and did most of
my leveling there.

Later, a Morden Rasp server started, with the free trial
offer. Lowbie population exploded and I discovered how fun it
is to group from level 1... seeing Misty Thicket and Greater Faydark
full of low levels was awesome!

If you are into it PM me if you want. It's easy to get set up.

At a point where I'm about to roll an alt, so good timing.

More nostalgia where machine limitations are concerned....

Was away from the game for quite a few months and came back....The first moment I log in my rogue in the safe room in BoT, a guy starts talking to me about joining his guild. I explain, I haven't been around in ages and was just getting back and he's like "that's all of us...join us." So I did.

Basicly the plan was to start raiding in luclin then work up from there. After a couple of weeks, while we grew and people were getting their shards done, we had a rotation of targets we would regularly hit.

One day this female enchanter joins....Is very nice but explains that she was on an older computer and her zone times were ridiculus. No worries....Sure it will work out.

Later that day, raid gets called. Ssra cursed cycle. So we all head that way. Like an hour later we are in the basement just about to engage the mob, she /shouts "I'm at the zone in, finally. Where do I go?"

Guildleader asks her what happened. She says, "I have 8 min zone times on this old computer." It's, what, 6 or 7 zones from PoK to Ssra? lol

He says in guildchat "Nothing personal but that's not something we can indulge in this guild. When you upgrade you are more than welcome to re-app." Disbands her. lol

Dude was a great raidleader but, man, what a dickhead.

It's funny how quickly the topic can derail into something completely different. Everyone reminiscing about eq(relevant) then someone says they liked wow more then someone loved wow pvp then the thread basically turns into a pvp debate... Where's the adderal?

All my MMO nostalgia is for vanilla WoW. Best days of my gaming life, with EQ being a close second.

Same here, raided hardcore on Vanilla on the Alexstrasza server.
