Good morning all! Just wanted to pop by and introduce myself as a newcomer on the blue server. I first started with EverQuest back in about 7th or 8th grade (2003/2004ish) and took a Druid up to about level 40 before burning out. Despite never taking a character to max level I always appreciated the vibe of the game, as it was my first MMO (and you never forget your first!)
Fast-forward to now and I find myself in my late 20’s with a newborn daughter who prefers to wake her dad up around 4-5am (mom generally takes the late shifts, I get the early shifts). While rocking her back to sleep one morning, I stumbled across a Project99 Twitch channel and decided classic EQ would be the perfect way to pass the early mornings/late nights, as it’s generally a bit more laid back than other games. Thus, here I am!
I’ve already totally overwhelmed by the helpful and gracious community; I’ve rarely hunted without buffs from higher level characters passing through Halas, and I’ve even had a couple generous souls toss some plat my way to help me buy my early spells and some armor. I’ve found that playing the game while caring for my daughter has helped me to slow down and appreciate all the little details, and I’m loving it. So if you happen to see Eburk, the level 5 (almost 6!) Shaman cruising through Halas in the wee hours of the morning, feel free to say hi and make sure that I’m still awake
