When/Where did you play?

[Humerox]

I started about 2 weeks before Kunark was released. Originally I was on Drinal, had a 50 Warrior named Klattu (couldn't get Klaatu, lol), and a Druid named Tenuvan Stormwolf. After the release of Luclin I was less than thrilled, so didn't play much until Stromm was opened up, where I leveled a mage named Vezarus to 65 in about 3 weeks, and was part of Lost Sock Patrol.

Got tired of the raid demands and switched to PvP...played tons of characters on Sullon Zek. Started evil but soon switched to the underdog team (gogo good team!). Most fun I ever had on live.

Having a great time here...watching some of you guys level so fast is amazing. (Hello Burple and Freddy! Htf do u guys do it, lol.)

Great community here actually...hope we can keep it going!!

E'ci Server, 99-04/05

Played from day 1 with all the server down times and disconnects. Such a memorable week. Was 18 almost 19 years old. Told the boss I'm leaving work early today soon as best buy called and said they had EQ on the shelf and wouldn't be back for a few days....Looking back now I can't believe I still had a job when I came back.

Started off with 1 account, first worked up a 39 wizard then switched and made a druid to 50. Somewhere around 2001-2002 I bought 3 more.

Ended up with 65 bard, rogue, Enchanter and Druid with 100's of AA's before it was all over.

Happil Pie - Druid
Isriella - Enchanter
Nindiilu Shadowsong- Bard
Forgot the name of my rogue.

Also had 2 roomies with 4 accounts each. We had 2 full groups between the 3 of us and could take down just about any mob by ourselves.

I played E'ci as well. Was in Disciples of honor.

Came back from college in the autumn of 1999 to find my best friend playing a DE cleric in a group on the orc highway. Told me he was going to take a dump, made me sit in and taught me quickly how to cast heals and that was all. Thought it was the stupidest thing I ever did.

Flash foward 3 months, I'd met some random stranger at school who told me about a new game he was saving up to buy, EQ, and talked my ear off for days. I bought it, found out it was the same game, and had no idea why my friend was a dark elf cleric. Because I was a wood elf ranger!

My friend dropped out of college to play in his parent's basement until luclin came out, then quit because the game seemed ridiculous (for in-game reasons, though he spent years explaining why the mechanics of the game were the true dealbreakers for him - he wanted dynamic, world-changing content).

I accelerated my courses and took my bachelor's and THEN sat in my parents' basement playing. For years!

Then i got a great job, moved out, and kept playing! Then i went to law school! And kept playing! Then stopped. Bought a ps3 to scratch the itch (unsuccessfully). Now i'm finishing law school, and playing again! With my wife! Ha!

My favorite was always my enchanter. Also had:
75 war, wiz, cleric, ranger, zerk
70 beast, rogue
60 SK
58 monk

and every race/class combo you can think of under lvl 20 spread across 6 servers

I lead a guild through the PoP era, I threw my first character (that ranger) down The Hole, i saved whole raids as an enchanter, i camped the goblin skull earring for 40 hours FOR FUN, i must have earned over 3k AA's spread across the toons, and i learned over a dozen pieces on the piano IRL while LFG.

Yes, that's pride mixed in with the abject shame of having spent so much of my late teens and early twenties in a video game.

I played a high elf enchanter as my main for the duration of my eq career. I started during Velious shortly before Luclin came out and played on Xev and Brell.

I started loosing interest around GoD and straight up quit shortly after OoW. I was 65 until they raised the level cap with OoW and I started to see the rest of my life flashing before my eyes.

I dinged 66 shortly before quitting. I had somewhere between 150 and 200 AA points. I had a ton of great times raiding with this character but my guild never managed to break in to PoTime before I quit.

I had an alt halfling warrior which I also got to 66. The highlight of this character's career was leveling up almost exclusively in LDoN dungeons to the point where I could do hard difficulty blindfolded (not really) and I got to (succesfully) tank Terris Thule at level 63 because my gear was better than the level 65 tank in the raid and there was nobody else available.

Had many other alts:

(I loved my )Iksar necro 49
troll shaman 39
ogre beastlord 32
wood elf bard 32
human monk 32
gnome cleric (worshipped Bertoxxulous!!!) 30
halfling druid 15
