Some of us were leet peasants who got a second phone line so calls on the first wouldn't crash EQ.

Definitely had this. Was awesome. It was next to the outlet that would shock you that my step dad wired in... that was cool too when having a slow day.

This was never really an issue because *70.

But got a second line so the wife could play with me.

When people get mad they fall back on the 56k modem thing. Not all of us were peasants.

56k was for the upperclass, the real peasants had 14.4k

That's a damn lie. DSL came out shortly after.. cable modem came out 6 months after. Plus dsl and cable were only available in certain areas at that time

I had a cable modem in late 1997- early 1998. I know it was no later than June of 1998 because I had it while a senior in high school and that's when I was done.

And yes cable was only available in certain areas - so what?

I think I remember the box saying you needed a 28k connection? Poor 14k scrubs.

i had another phone line with my best friend that lived about 6 miles away. I paid for it on my own, we were quite young. we got these shitty headset telephones from radioshack and basically just called each other and never hung it up. we would goto school/sleep with the lines just connected 24/7. I have such strong memories of it all, so bizarre.

Classic was being so poor I had everything turned off in graphics, almost. Imagine how depressed you would be if the sky was always leaden gray. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

My computer was so bad that I had the clip plane set to the bare minimum. The game looked like there was a heavy fog and I couldn't see more than 20 feet in front of me. People always wondered how I got lost and died running from place to place as a bard.

I'm thinking devs or someone paid norrath map dude to take it down.. sucks I brought 4 friends over and they all quit cause they don't have time to waste finding their way with no map. Hate them all you want but some people only have time to get to what they want to do and not figuring out negative and positive locations in a 15 year old elf sim that makes a lot of people quit once they realise how much 30-40 sucks.
