I've never played Everquest before Project1999. I went out of town to go visit a buddy last October and right when I got there he said something to the effect of "So you like killing dragons and shit?" I'd never killed a dragon and said I'd certainly like to try. I arbitrarily rolled a barb shaman upon returning home.

Now I'm a junkie.

I started July of 99. At release I would always go to my friends house to watch him play, he had a dwarf paladin. The world amazed me and caught my attention immediately. When I finally got my own copy, I was in heaven. I had a 166mhz processor and 32 mb of ram with a 6mb video card. Let's just say I had to look at the ground while in game just to be able to move without lagging out. I kept with it and eventually got to level 50 on a barbarian shaman (Everfrost was the only zone that didn't lag terribly for me). Everquest has changed my life, and I am glad you guys brought it back for all of us to relive and enjoy.

Kunark.. as soon as I saw the game advertised with playable Lizardmen (Iksar) I bought a new PC.. and EQ as soon as it was running.

I remember some guy taunting me and annoying me to no end.. just being a real pita. Prompted me to move to Rallos Zek so I could kill them. I got hooked on PvP there for years.. still am hooked on it in every game I play.. lol.

Played pre-Kunark once in awhile when I went over to my friends house. At the time I did not have a computer, so we would just stay over the one friends house and take turns playing our characters which were all on the same account at the time. When kunark released the family had purchased a shitty HP computer and I started playing religiously... it all went downhill from there.

Friend got me in to it just after release, and it opened the flood-gates of everquest madness. Off and on after LDoN up until DoN.

My first time playing everquest was the day it was released. I was a Ultima Online player so I went right to EQ.

I remember fighting 100's of other players to get the kill exp from fire beetles. To remember 100's of people chasing the same mob was an awesome memory.

I played on release of original. My brother sat me down at the computer on a wood elf ranger. Told me if i had any questions or wanted to talk to people type /ooc <message>. The rest is history. I remember those days. The good old days. I have been on and off EQ for the past 9-10 years.
