Do you feel like the early days of EQ are forever lost to time?

it only really mattered on certain classes like tank.

https://shardsofdalaya.com/fomelo/fo...hp?char=Oshieh charm is the most ghetto thing on my character even casual group people had better than me because i hated plat farming

i get people having a zero-tolerance policy on boxing but being able to load up guild bots to buff you and do ports was amazing

i'd usually box one of the guild's paladins and just duo in Keasora for to grind AAs and plat for my ranger also and when i just wanted to single box the ranger the amount of groups i could find because someone else was willing to box the tank/healer was sure better than just sitting around doing nothing

Disclaimer: I only played from like 2006 to 2008

That was when the Mormon's became in charge, yes? Lotta history on Dalaya.

edit: rofl went to check on the server, they are doing a full wipe and relaunch. anyone that still wants to play with their old toons has till next month

Lol it was the right choice to not do tomes ever. Wild ride for anyone who stayed. Brutal decision but I don't mind.

Is this a joke about me being Puritanical? I think it.. might be, but I dunno.

I do miss the personal xp mod based on how long you've spent in a zone, rather than a global zem for anyone who's in that zone. That's one of very few modifications that actually make early eq better.

No Allielyen put me in jail once. Haha remember jail?

I think I went to jail 3 times.

At first you weren't allowed to link [squirrel], a custom item, and I forget the other reasons.

What's weird is they didn't jail me for manaburning their event NPC. Just continued like it never happened.

Lol I do remember jail. I had a wizard or magician or something named Incantor which I felt was totally RP-friendly and they forced me to change it by putting me in jail. It was apparently too close to the word Incantation which I admit was the whole idea.

I knew Slaariel who eventually became a dev. A lot of it is lost to the fog of my shitty memory.

i remember on voice chat we'd always accuse Slaariel of giving Exodus strats to cope about falling behind in content.

shit really died for me when we caught exploiting Forest Gloom
https://wiki.shardsofdalaya.com/wiki/The_Forest_Gloom

i only did the event like 2-3 times and had no fucking idea what was going on so i got to keep my sword, but the husband and wife that were running the guild got banned and like 10 other people because they just kept fucking doing it cycling in every cleric we had to get that OP staff
https://wiki.shardsofdalaya.com/wiki/Crystalis

so we could progress as a guild lol after that got cleaned up and the loot deleted i was the only shitter on the entire server with a The Caretaker's Will iirc everyone else was in Exodus or CW/PR i get CW and PR mixed up i forget which was the shitter guild and which was the good one

Why was this an issue?

[Duik]

I had both Iksah and Gnowm on prexus server. I was just waiting but it never came.

Moved to rathe after i stopped playing.

BTW just Ignore the equipment, i just fucked around to see what difference getting defiant would make. I had relatively shitty gear to be honest. It made me cry. About the only item i actually had was the mace on the paly.

Yes. We are different now. So our public play spaces are too. OG eq is eternally lost to us.

You’ll not recapture that initial mystery and wonder of the EQ game world im afraid ole buddy ole pal.

WoW had it on vanilla - has anything else? Pantheon is never coming out is it. Sad times
