New 1999 Players, from old Seventh Hammer

[Anowin]

Just dropping a note to introduce ourselves, and to thank all of those involved here! (Forgive me if this is in the wrong spot - I didn't see a forum for introductions). We are Anowin and Hurricayne, played EQ from Kunark to PoP mostly on the Seventh Hammer. Hated where the game went after Velious. It became so easy and so geared to an immature, instant-gratification player base, that we stopped. Unfortunately, it set off a whirwind of even worse MMORPGs in my opinion. Tried Vanguard, tried EQ II for a good while, but nothing compared to classic EQ. I'm ready to get my epic again....the hard way! We will be on EST most evenings (depending when the kids get to sleep), so give us a shout. Again, thank you!

One noob question: I understand and LOVE the ban on two boxing, but obviously we play from the same router. So I'll make the appropriate IP Exemption request. The sticky asks for the "login names." I'm assuming those are the names for the EQEMU login server, correct? Thanks -- can't wait to actually make the first scary trip to Freeport through Highpass...

Anowin
Cleric of Rodcet Nife

Hurricayne

When requesting an IP exemption you include your p1999 login name, not the eqemu login afaik.

Ah a seventh hammer! Do you remember the Longbeards? (mostly dwarf only guild) hehe.

7th hammer was the first server of any mmo I have ever played. "Good ol' days!" haha.

Wasn't Seventh Hammer merged with the most awesome Lanys Tval server? Lanys was a great server that went live around December 15, 1999 and was my home server for years even with the mergers.

I was Ghoste on Seventh Hammer (BAR ROG). Played the exact same time frame as you. :)

Having read through most of the posts here, and the concerns of many, just wanted to give a shout out to the hosts, gms, etc. This is a fantastic experience, extremely reminiscent of classic. Everyone I have met in game has been mature, helpful, and very respectful. I sincerely hope you know how much we appreciate your efforts! What are the typical donations, and can it be done through paypal? Happy to donate.

Currently level 6 in Q Hills, Anowin (Cleric). Just waiting on IP Exemption so my spouse (Hurricayne) and I can venture back into Blackburrow. Cheers everyone!

I remember Ghoste. I myself was a barbarian rogue by the name of Kreshaer. Didn't realize there were so many ex-Seventh Hammer folk floating around here! If you see Clooney and Dsseven around, they're ex-Seventh Hammer as well.

Welcome!
