Most Memorable Moment

[Twani]

Hi All!

I know ALL of you guys are oldies from back in the day! or you wouldn't be here on p1999!! Its okay, i speak the truth!

I want to know what your most memorable moments were when you first started playing Everquest!


For me, it was back when i first started. I started a Hume pally and was pretty low level... i used to play on Drinal so the auction zone used to be in north freeport. Anyway, i was in EC and i remember being so mesmerized by the game and afraid of everything that would KOS me. I was exploring the zone and remember stumbling to EC tunnel... i contemplated for a good few minutes if i wanted to go in since i had no idea what was in there. I didn't want to lead myself into a trap... i had a very vivid imagination! I even pictured a dragon in there, my legs were quivering when i was ever so slowly going in inch by inch. Until i saw shady and thought that i was gonna get mugged when i approached him.... i just remember that time when i first played since i was quivering and sweating x_X

sad? maybe...but that was my most memorable moment!

I think my most memorable moment back in the day, was (being the Qeynos lover that I am) when I was hunting around in the Aqueducts, and by total accident walked into... and subsequently through, a wall. It was shocking, and I totally wasn't expecting secret walls! I then started to explore, and being the Goodie Goodie that I was on that very first ever toon (Half Elf Paladin of Karana) died a horrible death to a swarm of Bad guys!

I'll share a couple since they're all pretty short. I don't have any one that really stands out.

One of the first guys to pk me was a gnome magician who preyed on my poor defenseless elven ranger. I remember him as clear as day.. Pumpkineater.

Another gnome I was chasing in gfay used invisibility. He told me that he climbed a tree. I must have spent 20 minutes checking every tree for him.

Some random guy threatened to log onto and kill me with his level 50 necromancer. I was terrified and sought the help of a paladin near the Kelethin bank. He said that he would protect me.

I was a caster in my teens and saw a blue con gnome warrior running around in a full set of tinted armor. I thought it would be an easy fight (I was a caster, after all) so I tried to nuke him. Resist! Resist! Resist! Then he charged straight for me. Yea. I died.

My firsts minutes in the game...friend told me to say 'hail, guildmastername' to get my tunic*:
h-a-

Guildmaster has slashed YOU for 96 damage.
Loading please wait.

I don't think I logged back on for a couple days.

3 guys gank me in Queynos hills. I follow them into Queynos and nuke them (wiz) one by one until they beg me to stop in tells.

Typing "bash my face" properly after a few mins to answer Guntrik in Oggok warrior guild. Little knowledge of english, just followed brackets in hope of lewt.

And going to visit a buddy, he made a lvl1 DE and showed me a huge in-game secret... The efreeti in temple of solro! I was like "WOOOOOOWWWW!!".

Then we went to solb and ran around looting fine steel weapons, thought they were best gear in game. Then a kobold butchered us and I forget what happened after that.

Top 5

5. First Trakanon Raid
4. Tankning Phin in my Ranger
3. First Fear Raid
2. Getting my epic
1. Killing my brother in a duel

[Taluvill]

Definitely my Epic.

Just the whole thing. The trials and tribulations of it all to culminate in having my lovely little leafblower.

trying 3 times on feydedar, getting a big guild to kill VS for me and they kept one of the stones and the loot.

Cant wait for kunark

My most memorable moment is in 1999, pre-kunark, on Vallon-Zek.
At that time, it was a one loot item pvp server.

I was lvl30. A friend (Anakind from Xanit K'Ven for thoses who remember) gave my first "uber" item, a golden bracer (or something like, it had +4 int on it). I was so happy to have my first true item...

A day or two after, I was grinding the gnolls at the outside of Paw. I was medding when suddenly, my screen went black for 30 seconds or so. I heard someone casting spells on me. I could not do anything and I died.
She was a druid and I still remember her name (Peoni). She looted my corpse and, of course, took this item.

This is my worse/memorable moment for ~6 years of EQ...

My most memorable moments seem to always be bad ones lmao. Probably my earliest memory was being killed while trying to run through Kithicor at night on a human. The worst part was I was killed by about 10 bixies (no idea how so many were aggroed), I was running with a friend, and by the time he got to me and found me I had died and there were about 7 dead bixies strewn around my corpse. I was about 10 years old at the time, so I still feel the death was acceptable lol.

I remember being in EK near the bridge and fighting on the of the named cyclopse/giants there at like level 20 on my warrior with another druid. It was a brutal fight which ended up being near the zone line. The druid aggrod and had to zone. I was not going to give up, it was neck and neck my hp with the mobs hp and just when I thought I was about to die, the giant had a fiery damage spell cast on him and he dropped. As he fell I saw my shortie druid friend behind him having zoned back and saved the day. I'm pretty sure I was down to the 1-2% hp mark when that happened. Definitely one of my first crazy memories.

Lots of good ones. Camping an FBSS was good time, preaching need before greed to the casters who wanted to sell it was hard but I managed. Camped jboots too, so grueling but it made life so much easier when I finally had them. And fangs for wakizashis, MM was one of my favorite zones, so much cool stuff in there. My first POH raid was memorable, I was a late bloomer so I was carefully reading every command from the raid leader and hoping not to do anything wrong. I got my first piece of indicolite on that raid. I chuckling to myself that the planer mobs were just "bigger" versions of the same models from other zones.
