There was this used game store I used to frequent after school to try stuff out, think about what i'm gonna trade in for the next big hit, that sort of thing. I start to notice the two fellas working there are getting into this game but they're sitting across the room from each other on diff computers. I kinda watch them a bit and notice one of them is in EC tunnel. I inquire about all the erratic NPC behavior and then he tells me "Oh nonono.. those are players." WHAT? That completely blew me away. I convinced mom to let me pick it up.
Fast forward a week or so I've got the game with Kunark in my hands(I think this was a month or two before velious was announced). I roll a Human warrior and start in freeport. I grind away rats and whatnot eventually making my way into EC. I meet up with a gnome who invites me to his group and we kill some bears and creep torwards WC. I remember trying to stay on the trail thinking it would be my safe haven.
Completely immersed and the rest is history. Stopped around PoP and hadn't returned for many years. I wanna say it was 6-7 years ago I discovered P99. I got everything running and loaded into freeport again and nearly cried. The emotions that rushed through me seeing the game as it was when I first started was overwhelming. I played for about an hour and realized I couldn't commit to it at that point in my life and had to uninstall it to avoid the temptation of coming back and sinking every waking moment in Norrath. Returned recently and have been loving it. buncha great people on here.
Thanks for everything p99 team.
