What songs give you huge nostalgia for EQ?

[mr_jon3s]

For me its Butterfly By Crazy Town.
When I first started I was watching VH1 Countdown and this song was playing http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IKzX5zRdsq0 . Listening to this song while in Greater Faydark just brings it all back. First character was a High Elf Cleric.

[Sashias]

Jimmy Eat World - Just Watch the Fireworks.......EQ Mirage did a goodbye tribute with that song....always does it for me! In fact.....gonna play that now!

[Man0warr]

Pretty much Queen of the Stone Age's entire first album released in late '98. Specifically Regular John, If Only, Avon, and Mexicola. Listened to it constantly in Jr. High/Highschool on my discman.

Ive never been much into music. I distinctly remember watching TCM while they played Ferris Bueller's Day Off one night while I leveled my monk in OT with a grp circa 2003. I downloaded that chase scene song and used the in game mp3 player to listen to it a lot...

[Sorn]

Used to listen to Cirque du Soleil's Dralion CD while running around NRo. The two are permanently linked in my head now.

[Jaleth]

Many, many, many.... far too many nursery rhyme songs. My daughter was born in 2000. There was a time when I used the family comp in the living room where we would have the music playing for her, or Sesame Street on while I played some EQ.

[maestrom]

Jimmy Eat World - Just Watch the Fireworks.......EQ Mirage did a goodbye tribute with that song....always does it for me! In fact.....gonna play that now!

This. Also, their video with that Vanessa Mae song and My Sundown by Jimmy eat world.

Really anything Jimmy eat world.

This guy gets it

Back in 1999 I was listening to a lot of saves the day, penny wise, slip knot, deftones, and dashboard confessional....the ataris also...I was so emo

[captnamazing]

EQ loading screen music. any other answer is irrelevant because non-eq music = losing immersion

[Spyder73]

EQ loading screen music. any other answer is irrelevant because non-eq music = losing immersion

In all seriousness I don't put on my music until I am logged in so I can listen to the loading music....so classic

[Feanol]

Darude - Sandstorm

When I played live I just had early-era techno/trance in a massive random playlist, using /mp3 of course =D

[Sajan]

Rammstein - Du Hast

[Sebekkha]

Pink Floyd - dark side of the moon, on repeat, for years.

[Calibix]

Seriously, all these nerds and no one mentions Blind Guardian?

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nightfall_in_Middle-Earth

Granted, I wasn't quite into metal back then as I didn't develop that taste until I started playing guitar, but it's a whole album based on Tolkien.

P99 Uber nerds for shame, for shame!

One of the greatest albums of all time.

[Issar]

So many...

Robbie Williams rock dj.


LOL, Robbie's perma coke-face.

I was 20 and living in Las Vegas in 1999, so my roommate and I always had Sandstorm (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2HQaBWziYvY), Encore Une Fois (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XO05NftxXgc), and other trance going during exp/girl grinds.

I was back and living in OC CA during the SoV and SoL eras, which brought some Staind It's Been Awhile (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=araU0fZj6oQ). It was much more of an emo time...

[fugazi]

Bloodhound Gang - One Fierce Beer Coaster from 1996 and later on Hooray for Boobies. Real mature, I know :rolleyes:


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mY0ZdCSCt0Q

[Lagaidh]

I've noticed this effect applies to video games as a whole if you're a sound-bug. Personally, sometimes the soundtrack itself is good enough, like in Final Fantasy Tactics. I met my wife in 1995 and played the shit out of FFT 1997 through to EQ launch. My wife STILL finds the menu sounds comforting because of how we'd hang out back then in college. (Glad I graduated before I tried EQ in July 99...)

There is an old DOS game from Sierra called Hero's Quest (renamed Quest for Glory). I had a copy of that in high school that I played to death while listening to Janis Joplin's Greatest Hits and Jimi Hendrix Experience Smash Hits.

I wonder how normal it is for a man to feel the need to talk to pixies when he hears the opening screechsong of Joplin's version of Summertime. I also know that Purple Haze helps one play cribbage with hermits.

There's also an element of Ozzy's Tribute album grafted to my cortex near whatever portion controls the F-Zero logic unit.

Oh shit.

I got old.

[Lagaidh]

Kelethin City music give me a massive hard on everytime. 10/10

That and the banking music. It's so damned... soothing? I wouldn't be surprised to find the bank midi playing in one of those Eastern-philosophy-themed relaxation spas.

[Zadrian]

Richie Truxillo stuff.

[Rallos]

For me its Butterfly By Crazy Town.
When I first started I was watching VH1 Countdown and this song was playing http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IKzX5zRdsq0 . Listening to this song while in Greater Faydark just brings it all back. First character was a High Elf Cleric.

haha thats hilarious, same for me w/ butterfly

and Disturbed Down w the Sickness, both of those songs remind me of doing the South Karana Treants camp

[Skunkranger]

I had an ITunes playlist with every album by RUSH and Iron Maiden listed called EQ. I'd put it on random and play for hours so... Rush and Maiden...yeah. The Kelethin and banking music takes me back as well.

[iruinedyourday]

that bummmmm - bong - mbummmmmmm when you get killed gives me all kinds of different feels considering its the song I've heard the most in this cruel game.

[JboxCSU]

Pink Floyd for me. Loved the chill music while grinding my monk in KC.

Shine On you Crazy Diamond more than any.

[falkun]

Did not read most of this thread, but I have the PoTime.mp3 as my ringtone. I chopped it to a good 30 second clip.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IboI8H4XYio

I considered using PoEarth (another favorite EQ tune), but there's not as much variety in the music for me to pick it out of life's normal cacophony.

[Pringles]

I really dig the PoP soundtrack, many great memories there. Of course Kelethin sound track, and a few other bits definitely get me all nostalgic.

Glad im not the only one that really enjoys PoTime / PoEarth tracks.....

[Armius13]

EQ live back in 2000 or 2001 I recall both Stairway to Heaven and Paint it Black being on my in game MP3 list while I quad kited in the Overthere. So much druid kiting...

[Fleetwood]

For me its things like Outkasts Stankonia(and previous to 2000 albums), Goodie Mob, Bone Thugs, Lost Boyz, Tribe Called Quest, Tupac, Wu Tang, Three Six Mafia, Busta Rhymes, Mobb Deep etc... Depending on the mood at the time things like Korn, Beatles, Elton John, Pink Floyd, RUSH, the list goes on.

As for one song I'd say Bone Thugs n Harmony - Crossroads, reminds me of BB every time.

[Wizing]

We play all these songs at the applicants lounge in TMO come on down hang out by the pool and get your feet wet . Themysticalorder.net or msg krazy on red 6811

Your a player that contributes nothing to this community besides trying to feel good about your shit life by trolling . You might want to avoid trolling threads like these because players like me will find you irl and gut you like a fuckin fish

Obviously a joke . Move along mr. Anon forum poster .

[Cistern]

all Tool, specifically Lateralus, every time I hear that song I picture a troll shaman running through North Ro. Also swamp song reminds me of innothule. Stinkfist reminds me of lower guk.
Foo Fighters - Everlong reminds me of a gnome caster running through steamfont.

I also would have my boombox/radio propped up on my desk and just listened to the local rock station so alot of those 2000s rock hits bring up alot of nostalgia for me as well.

Dark Tranquillity's older stuff for sure, that's when I really started getting into death metal / black metal, Opeth was another one. So many to choose from.

We'll enjoy the awesome music while they ignore us. I'll check WebMD & research this "rustled" thing & get back to u with some symptoms we'll have to feign to make it look good tho.

[Champion_Standing]

I'm so glad I gave my friend my account right as Velious launched, all the music I get nostalgic for reminds me of things like parties with my friends, road trips, getting laid. Ahh, being a normal teenager was awesome.

[Heebo]

P much the entire By the Way album by the Chili Peppers. Would throw that on repeat and quest until sun up.

[Cosette]

OH MAAAN.. RIP being a 12 year-old on Napster days!


Nelly Furtado's album "Whoa Nelly" in its entirety and spending a ton of time in Sebilis/EJ/and CoM!
Madonna's album "Music" and rolling my first Dark Elf Necro in Unrest.


Yeah I totally still listen to those albums when I'm in those zones....

Or, understanding time management. I'd say I probably got more out of those years than most, not just gamers. My typical schedule consisted of school, work, lifting, and EQ after everything was done. Around that schedule, I spent my time traveling, hanging out with friends, and playing with girls. That being said, I had two RL friends that played so much EQ, it ended up pushing them to become Born-Again Christians. I recall one them telling me that he had to quit EQ when he realized he'd lost his job, his girlfriend, and was being evicted. Showering had become a weekly task and eating was barely afforded. Yet, he managed to keep paying for an internet connection and a subscription. He said that the two year period had all been a blur for him, due to lack of sleep... Crazy and sad, but he got his life back together.
