The very first thing I ever did in EQ was roll a Wood Elf druid. At the time I was obsessed with druids in DnD (still the coolest class ever in 2nd edition rules IMO), and figured this would be equally cool.
I almost immediately fell to my death in Kelethin after wandering for what seemed like hours to find my guild hall. When I recovered my corpse, it had a number of Fine Steel weapons on it. I ran around /shouting if anyone had "lost any Fine Steel" weapons. No one claimed them, and I was elated to see what they were worth.
That's right, I got hooked by a bug.
