What was it like in 1999

[odinwise]

I rolled a half elf ranger and going to qeynos for the first time was life altering. what really blew me away was seeing two dark elf casters hanging out on the zone wall near surefall glade zone. and people sitting around the fire burning there to camp out.

I had quite a few adventures and roleplaying moments until level 7 when, still completely enamored with the game world, I wanted to see freeport with my own two eyes. (just making a character in freeport wasn't enough, I needed the JOURNEY!) so I trekked off asking for directions in every zone I came to. everyone was very kind and offered buffs and sows. once I got to highpass, though...it was exciting because it was so dangerous. being so ignorant, and not heeding the words of passersby that I should NOT GO THERE! I never thought there'd be a ton of orcs at the other end.

respawning back at qeynos left me with such rage that I camped out and rolled a DE necro which became my main. imagine how thrilled I was when I discovered necro gets a bind spell, haha.
