Memory Lane!

[Brut]

Obviously we all vastly love the whole relive-classic concept, but what we should also love is thinking back on all the joyful things that happened back in classic EQ!

So let's all think back on what moment or event defined classic EQ experience for you. Something that is just carved crystal-clear in your memories... And share it!



For me it's something as simple as a tesch mas gnoll. A young enterprising ogre shaman, running around the karanas heading for Blackburrow which I heard was a good place for exp (I was like late teens so dunno about that...). While trying to avoid the KOS aviaks I come upon these huge giant fangs with blood on them protounding from the ground and this gloomy hill looming in the middle. Circling around it I come upon the sight of spell effects and folks fighting something - a group if you will. I go take a closer look. The whole group cons bright red to me, and they're fighting some weird-looking (red con) gnoll (had seen the ones spawning daytime in lake rathe before, so this brown one with some yellow and black clothes was the coolest thing ever). And the gnoll was mouthing them off something fierce, going on and on with stuff like "I'll teach you to interfere with me, Soandso!". First time I ever saw that and I was in absolute awe, thinking that was the coolest thing ever that the gnoll was telling them off like that. I thought they'd be like lvl50s all of em and that this was the most awesome thing ever (hell I was under the impression hill giants and spectres were lvl50 too, once I even thought crypt mummies were 50!).

Came back some 3-5 lvls later, in my early 20s, for some reason aggrod one tesch mas, and ran for probably a full hour around South karanas trying to make distance with me SOW, med, cast a nuke, run, med, nuke again (yes I was indeed the crappiest shm!)... Eventually killed it and it felt like I had won EQ. First time I solo'd a red-con. Didn't think it was even possible! =p
