I played on Vazaelle from just before Velious was released until the servers were merged and Vazaelle became Maelin Starpyre (right around when DoD was released I think) - at that point my druid main was level 70 and I had raided everything up through Gates of Discord.
After a year plus "retirement," I came back, leveled my druid up to 75, and joined a guild I was familiar with from my early days on Vazaelle. We raided 3 days a week and, though we were behind the top raiding guilds on the server (most notably Triality), we still made pretty good progress. When I finally retired from live in October of 2008, my guild had just finished TSS and was breaking into Solteris in TBS.
My druid was level 80 with around 1000 AA's, Seeds of Destruction was about to be released, and I had definitely had enough of EQ in its current form. My fondest EQ memories occurred in the early days, up through Luclin, and I'm happy to have found a place where I can relive some of them.
My Dark Elf Necromancer in p1999 is named Cormac.
