When I first started EQ, it was the Oct. after Kunark came out. As a low level halfling warrior. I felt adventurous one day and took the boats from Freeport to BB, then got on the skiffs to Kunark. A guy told me that if I fell off any of the boats, that a giant kraken would kill me and my corpse would be lost forever. I fell off in Timorous Deep and ended up on some desert island. There was a dwarf paladin in zone and it took him forever to find me on one of the many islands I was on. We swam and swam until I eventually found an old raft. It took me to the Oasis of Marr. I looked on my EQ map I got in the box and it looked SO FAR from Freeport. Little did I know it was just up the zone line. I followed the coast back to FP. That was a fun adventure, but how naive I was back then lol!
