A Thread Where People Can Share Their EQLive Story

[Zembar]

My brother got me started on Everquest. First few times I tried it I made a character, played on his account for a few weeks then quit. I think I leveled up 3-4 different characters trying it out to about level 6-8 then deleted them and quit. But then when Ruins of Kunark came out I tried it again, and it clicked.

I had made a High Elf Female Wizard named Krystallik on my brothers account on the Bertoxxulous server. Leveled in Crushbone, then moved on to LOIO, and from there to the Mountain zone I can never remember the name of (had the giants and the giant fort groups in Kunark)

Then when I got around level 30, (and close to the release of Velious) I was able to get my own account. A friend put in a petition asking about a character transfer while I was getting my account installed. The GM that answered freaked out over the fact I used my brothers account and was absolutely no help. So I made a new High Elf wizard named Krystallyk(which of course now I prefer this spelling). And transferred everything over from my old toon.

Thus began the powerleveling effort to get me back to my 30's. My friend and guild helped a good bit (was with Order of the Scattered Winds) and after not too long I was able to continue on my leveling way. Spent more time in the Mountain Zone and moved on to Dreadlands.

Was in DL for a long while, but eventually made it out, and then discovered the awesomeness known as quad kiting. So went to was it Colbat Scar? With the dragon faction mobs? and kiting those.

Eventually ended up quitting as I dinged 56. Just too much other stuff to do (and I was actually a bit addicted to the game, so kinda had to stop cold turkey to get over that)

Never got to raid much, was always just below the guild set cutoff. It was 55, but the same week I dinged 55, they upped the level req to raid with them as they were moving on to harder targets. I was able to go on a few fear runs (couple of which were trashed AoE cleared, that was fun!), a partial sky run, and a world dragon kill or two. Oh, and did get to do the Coldain Ring war event.

Don't remember much about items, I did have the Tflux staff of course, and did get a nice offhand after we killed one of the dragons in DL. (Druid got what she dropped, I got his old offhand, was a book of some form) Also the flowing thought crafted earring that came with Luclin, the guild pretty much did an assembly line style crafting of them for all who needed them. Everyone pitched in what they could.

Think I needed the golem from fear and the VS drop for epic.

I was grandmastering Tailoring, had the coldain shawl up to 4 or 5 I think.

I do remember I was trying to hunt down the mob that drops the SoW boots at one point, but was never able to get him.

As far as P99, I had known about it for years(again thanks to my brother) but just didn't have a desire to play. But a few weeks ago I logged on to Live just to mess around, and my brother said I should play P99 instead, so I figured I'd give it a shot.

Been here all of about a week. Having fun so far.
