Well damn, I just wrote a book here and lost it.

Anyway, love the nostalgia in this thread. Haven't thought about EQ years until a random web search brought me here.

I love the hate/misunderstanding that RZ always gets.

Playing on the early days of RZ is hands-down the most enthralling, frustrating and fun experiences I've ever had gaming. Either you were there or weren't, you understand it or you don't.

A few quick RZ memories in no particular order:

* Covetous Crew, The Begotten, Sinister, The Regulators, Hidden Power.
* RZ dominating the original Test of Tactics so thoroughly that the rest of EQ might as well have walked away from their keyboards.
* Reefman beasting his way to Rogue BotB finals against players with far better gear.
* Ice comet one-shotting naked Shaman like Ennart and Aakor before the 60% spell-damage reduction.
* Vilar seeming like he'd be the first 50 in EQ before just disappearing.
* People who had the balls to PvP in their best gear.
* Disarm dropping weapons on the ground before it was changed to dump it to inventory.
* Knowing virtually everyone on the server by name and affiliation.
* Being able to fight for and hold territory.
* Killing people for inspecting your equipment.

Haha Coveteous Crew! that brings me back they used to have original Jboots in Najena on lockdown they wouldn't let rest of server get any for the longest time
