When was your first experience with Everquest?

[Dunetraveller]

First experience of SoE was EQ2, where I played a necro because my friend was into the game and figured I could just do my own thing when not teaming up with him. Tried to get into EQ live, but never got far into it. Tried this out and THIS is what I like. I love the super slow advancement. Stopped playing WoW, EQ2, Live so I could devote more time to learning 99. My first char on 99 was a necro who bit it right away when I attacked my guildmaster because I didn't know the keyboard layout and hit autoattack. Other deaths: autoattacked PoD; fall of platform in Kelethin; death by kobold in N Qeynos two steps into newbie area; Piranha in halfling area; death by kobold scout two steps into Toxx forest; drowning in Oggok. Most before I could find one mob to kill. At least those days are behind me.
