Project 1999 - Finally hit 60! Here's my story of the journey (lots of screenshots)

I just dinged 60 the bard way tonight by kiting raptors, and it's been a long journey over this past year as indicated by my playtime in the screenshot. I've never had a level 60 character in EverQuest, as on live I was a 12 year old incapable of getting a character past level 26. Needless to say, I'm pretty ecstatic.

However, this journey on P99 was not made alone, so I would like to do a huge list of shout outs to everyone I can think of that helped me out a lot along the way.

First: The guilds Flawless Victory, Rapture, and The A-Team who have had a pleasure to be with during my journey.

Next, in alphabetical order, every person (I could think of; I'm sure I forgot some) who has helped me along the way either through grouping, raiding, frequently buying my Quillmane and power leveling services, and those who helped me obtain gear:

Aalpha, Adon, Arum, Atomoss, Azzudnue, Bashyr, Bazrag, Battletoad, Bobbarker, Briscoe, Brogg, Bronto, Buccinator, Burgak, Ccold, Cigilteach, Cisco, Clever, Coeur, Craby, Cucumbers, Culpepper, Culprit, Deajay, Dhalsim, Drippin, Eabon, Eratani, Flickker, Halfelf, Hircine, Holypants, Hufen, Ignt, Jopp, Joystick, Kelsinko, Klubba, Knightt, Kodlar, Lavarian, Layze, Lemiddar, Lexigan, Llaile, Lohne, Loraen, Luchino, Ludagris, Maybelle, Nordenwatch, Nukin, Orsk, Peekae, Plush, Quickfingers, Rompper, Save, Svenn, Synika, Sweetbaby, Tecmos, Tueur, Tyroll, Tysidious, Vidarr, Voski, Wyntaria, Xaria, Xoquil, Yibz, Zagum, and most importantly, my best friend Myliek/Stephanie

Now that I got the most important part out of the way, I thought I'd show some of my experience here on P99 through screenshots.

Taking part in Eabon's Sunday Open Sky Raids. Probably the best community interaction I've seen on this server.

First time ever doing a Dragon/"raid boss" (in quotes because not sure if Ragefire counts as a raid boss) in EverQuest. Thanks Zagum and Luchino for inviting me.

Getting the killing blow on the Eye of Veeshan. He ended up dropping the bard no drop piece. (TMO if you want to give me the efreeti spear so I can turn in, feel free. ;) Item is a piece of garbage anyway)

In getting a full set of Blazing Armor of Fennin Ro, a lot of poopsocking took place. This was probably the worst of it when people were socking to do a FTE turn in when Ragefire popped. I think we were punished for being too competitive, as Ragefire didn't spawn that night...12 hours of sitting and no Ragefire.

First time attempting to mobilize to get a raid target on a repop day. It was a disaster with everyone training themselves, but Rapture and BDA scored a Maestro kill.

By the way. The person in the signature picture is actually me in real life at some night club like a year and a half ago. That's basically the same face I made when I hit 60.
