I bought the game at future shop in september of 1999, rolled a dwarf cleric and went nuts on Prexus. My friend had suggested the game after finding out I had played meridian 59. I was also a big fan of MUDs and we had both played those.
Eventually ended up in a guild called Unity, but had many friends in Keepers of the Faith as well. Best early memories:
a full suit of banded armor at level 9, looting dawnfire after kunark came out, and hitting 51 with 2 different characters when kunark was released nearly instantly.
Also I remember how satisfying it was to destroy the planes after we suffered so hard raiding them with the level 50 cap. Good times
