I started as a ranger just before Kunark came out. Some super powerful (lvl 20) wizard named Eberwhar gave me a fine steal rapier, and I thought I was twinked out! I saw some other ranger at the Kelethin bank in full ivy etched with bladed thullian claws and knew then and there what I wanted to be when I grew up... I first joined a really small guild called the Darkleaf Traders, who helped each other a little but accomplished few things.
After getting a few levels, I started trying the Ivy Etched quests, and other quest with help from a higher level wizard who ported me to the Karanas... In my run through the Karanas, the wizard went LD and I was lost running that vast zone without sow or any knowledge of where things were. I stumbled upon this ogre camp and my mind was totally blown when I saw a Hill Giant approach the ogres and start an epic battle with all the ogres. The natural interaction between the NPC's made me feel like I was in a realistic functioning world. I eventually made it out, realized rangers were a horrible starting toon and rolled a necro in order to get some starting out cash via tailoring.
Good times.
