I definitely remember the music, Kelethin especially. We started playing on red and there were these high elf twins ingrid and cumini that kept blasting everyone around crushed zone in, do we organized a party to take them out, hella fun intro to EQ.
There were also a set of gnome triplets xoink, yoink, and zoink that were the bane of the steamfont mountains. That sense of playing against other players (not talking just a Nintendo game Mario party here) and not against the computer was so different and enthralling.
First big raid target my guild dropped was also a big deal and I remember it well: master yael in the hole. We were a non raid guild, and we took sooo long to get to him, finally engage and us noobs are dropping like flies, get him to 10% and a mob complete heals him! I think for sure that is it, but we keep going... We somehow get him back to 10% and I'm on the edge of my seat... DTs a tank and I step in as last tank, only me and a rogue left, along with a cleric, chanter who are near oom. Yael at 1% and rogue says DIIIEEEEE!, I'm almost dead, just whispering in the dark, "come on, come on..." BOOM! Yael down! Guild chat goes nuts.
I always remember that fight and the sense of accomplishment after it, have yet to match that in any other game.
