GAH! The nostalgia!
 

Hey everyone! I played up until Ykesha back in high school. A week ago I felt the strange itch to get back into EQ and did some research on the official forums. I was sad to see much of what I loved about the original EverQuest was taken away. Luckily, I found a post that lead me here. I'm ready to go!


But wait..

Of course I gave up video games for Lent (TLDR: Religious thing, can't play until Easter..incredible timing) and I have to say it's proving to be pretty difficult to keep from double clicking the EQ icon. I mean..I found my old guidebooks and have been re-reading all of the awesome stories about Boomba the Big, Fuzzbeard, and the others to get my fix. So that's where I'm at.

Just a couple more weeks. Must...hold...out...

Must ... give .... in. Everquest is not a video game, it's real life (to some).

STAHP! Don't tempt me.

I must say it's been a long damn time since I've been this excited to play a video game. Vanguard, LOTRO, WoW; I've played all of them and though VG left an impression (especially the crafting system) none have close in terms of what EQ had. I've been keeping an eye on Pantheon as well and so far really like what I see. Here's hoping that works out.

everquest > religion of any kind bro.

Focus on painful exp loss and time lost on a corpse run. Might help you get to Easter. I gave up caffeine for lent, feel your pain =).

What class are you gonna make

If you can't EverQuest you might as well ForumQuest

I gave up wheat. Be reasonable man.

I think giving up caffeine would be just as bad. I can't go without coffee especially with my 6 week old daughter. Good luck to you.

Haha, alright. One of my first race/class combos was a High Elf Magician so that's what I'm going with. I can't friggin wait to walk through Felwithe and Gfay again. That first bat wing....

I have a couple of friends that will be joining the server as well!

Mages are good but the pet agro will NOT be like you remember it. just a heads up :)

Also, if your pet does the majority of the damage, you get half exp!
