I started a few days after Kunark's release, but I didn't make it there till a couple months later at least. The Overthere was where I spent most of my time, and eventually made it into Frontier Mountains. Soloing those giants with my monk was the first time I felt really powerful.
When Velious came out, it quite honestly scared the crap out of me. I remember riding the boat there and arriving during a blizzard. I started wandering around and was already freaked out by snow wolves and whatever else was roaming around, since you couldn't see more than 10 feet in front of you. Then suddenly a frickin' GIANT emerges from the fog and starts destroying me. Luckily I had a SoW, but I had no clue where I was or where to zone at. Luckily somebody shouted the /loc to me and I ran in panic for like 10 minutes before finding it.
After that incident I was always very timid when venturing into Velious territory. There was always something there that felt unknown to me, even if I had visited many times already.
