Default I missed this so much

I've been waiting for another progression server from Sony for so long I just finally gave up. I was cleaning my computer today and ran into my old EQ folder. I logged into EQEmu and saw this server. Intrigued, I made the changes listed on the forms, logged in, and created my half elf bard.

My first view was of the old East Freeport. And I nearly cried. I was standing next to a FP guard. Thinking back to my key arrangement for EQ, I hit "A" to turn left. Suddenly, my screen freezes and once I discovered what I had just done, I laughed so hard I cried.

Note to self: The default keybind for the "A" key is not "Turn left." It is, in fact, "Auto Attack." Change this and the other directional keybinds before to attempting a "left turn" while standing next to an East Freeport Guard.

P.S. I love the server, great job!

Welcome Lidara! Nostalgia reigns here on P99 (and the healthy or not-so-healthy dose of drama too.)

Indeed.

No game to date has done for me what EQ can, and thankfully now still does. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

When I started again, I loaded up in Neriak, I had to just sit back and absorb it all in. The second I logged on I got that feeling I can't put my finger on it, but no other server has been able to capture it.

My most memorable EQ moment was in the Neriak Necromancers guild on my first character which was a DE Necro. I remember hearing the different music and the style differences. It was the first time I had really been drawn into a game and it made the hair on my neck stand up.

I had more experiences like that, later on. My first run through Kithicor.... at night. The first time I went on a dragon raid(Vox, she killed us so many times I swear she dinged). Finishing my Cleric's epic, finishing my Bard's epic, and the first time I swarm kited on my Bard.

For the record, I remember when banded armor was twinking gear, you didn't get a backpack as a newbie, you had to actually LEVEL your sense heading, and the phrase "Griffon to Tunnel" was cause for concern.

Now... get off my lawn!!

I used to track for Griphons in the commons everytime my ranger went through it. even at lvl 60 I did it every time to get back at it for all the newbie deaths it caused me.

My newb dr00d definetly needs backpacks aswell. Screw twinking just let me get my hands on a backpack please!

That's part of the nostalgia though too. It wouldn't be classic EQ with out uber guilds competing, flamewars, and idiots being blacklisted?

Yes... you are correct... as much as I don't care for it, it's definitely part of it! Hah!
