When was your first experience with Everquest?

[Silent]

I started in Classic not long after launch, As fun as it was I really had no idea what I was doing partially because it was a new type of game I had never encountered and that I was so young. I fucked around alot on various characters for a few weeks changing between commons and qeynos hills/blackburrow til I was familiar enough then I decided upon a monk who I hit 50 just as kunark was released.

Anyone who truly played classic remembers getting a cloth map of Norrath with their copy of Kunark(What was it, 5 CDs iirc?), And laying eyes on the Fironia Vie character for the first time. Half of kunark I spent in mid level guilds doing nothing, Eventually when I was around 55+ I got into one of the top guilds then got my epic, started raiding kunark content and before I knew it velious was out, I was soloing in velks with my fungi after bats in solb were bad exp. Did lots of Yelinak kills(holy fucking mage chain of mod rods, wish I still had SS's of the 50+ mod rods on floors for ppl to eat) Dain, ToV, NToV, Never really got to experience PoM fully. Never had any guised or firepot characters since I never even knew about firepot bound nerf until like late kunark. Guised players were just as rare barely seen. Got to pull and learn some of trickiest raid bosses and other pull splits like idol/statue/avatar of war with the dude who basically invented the guide to monk FD pulling on all of EQ, Laotzu from Tribunal. Anyone who played a monk should know this guy, His guide on pulling was basically stickied on Monkly-Business with all the tips and tricks and how to.
