Old fart gamer here, new to p99

Pitter · #1 04-03-2014, 05:00 PM

After playing every incarnation of EQ and dozens of MMOs trying to recreate the old-school EQ experience, it was awesome to read about p99.

I played at launch with my late best friend for many years, and it feels good to bring back those memories.

You know, back in the day I was nearly KOS with the ex-wife over my EQ time. I have since re-married a card carrying nerd (who has played EQ with me starting on EQOA). She wanted a chance to experience what it was all about, so we tried live EQ. It still holds some nostalgia, but its a totally different animal than EQ circa 2000. So she has agreed to give this a try.

My petition is up for an IP exemption. So hopefully we will BOTH see you in game soon!

Cheers!

NAMES, folks, give us the character names so we CAN look for you in game [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Sorry, my first toon's name is Raury.

Me and the Mrs. will be making a pair of gnomes tonight. I'll update with names!

Promised update: We rolled our gnomes today.

I'm Gnoodles (ENC) and she's playing Gnancy (MAG). When she's not around, I'll still be on Raury (DRU).

See you in game!

My husband got me into EQ too. I started playing in 2000 with him, then took a decade off while the kiddies were younger and restarted with P99 recently.
Have your wife look me up ingame (names in siggie) and we can chat.

How old do you have to be to be considered an old fart? I'm 32 kind of feel like an old fart sometimes.
