Those of you bored with 3 years of Kunark

[iruinedyourday]

When I first came here, to p99, I did exactly this! it was my whole reason for being here.. First I played a Bard. The class that 15 years ago i just didnt know what the hell they were or what they did... then I weint directly to Qhills at level 7, having never leveled in the area ever. I made it all the way to my high teens, like 18 or 19 before I went on a quest for a full set of Bronze armor.

A full set of bronze armor was the most epic thing I had ever seen 15 years ago, and its been a dream since then to have a set of level approprite full bronze.

So off to Unrest I went to get my derps!!!

I managed to start posting here (and obviously never stopped) http://www.project1999.com/forums/sh...d.php?t=148980 and was able to get a full set of bronze! some drops, some hand outs from nice people, and a couple purchased off of merchants i scowered from coast to coast.

Playing this way was so great! Ill never forget those first days, I met this awesome family that would all play together, and we leveld for a few nights.

After spending time in Unrest and such, I died and forgot to bind.. this awesome guy Donruss saved me and took me all the way back...

+1 OP. I just started an Iksar necro. It's the first time I've levelled in fob and kurns.

Had a great time.

Nice! I suggest you stick to off-the-path zones as you level up, such as swamp of no hope, Warsliks woods, and try to get some groups together for some dungeon crawling in kaesora etc.

Discovering zones you thought you knew may spark some excitement back into your EQ life [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Not promoting red except to say that it happened on red... but I've recently started a druid there and been duoing in the Qeynos/Karanas areas. Really it's been an area I've avoided my whole EQ career because I've always known the Gfay/EC type quests so well and always enjoyed Field of Bone as a 1-20 area.

Suddenly when you're spending 15 minutes in South Qeynos looking for the damn bank and going in circles getting mad over something so trivial you start to remember why EQ was so fun the first month you ever played it [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Would definitely try new areas, step out of your comfort zone <3

I think this is a really great recommendation for everyone, even if you aren't rolling your 30th alt. I "grew up" in the Qeynos/Everfrost area, and I've tended to bring my alts up there too.

The reason you "grew up" in the Qeynos/Everfrost area" is when the game started years ago you could not get the hell out of there. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

I did the same thing with an iksar monk. Played a druid my entire 6 year career on Live, which was a blast. I didn't want to risk spoiling good memories so I decided to try something new. I never knew what I was missing in Kunark back in the day, it's great fun to be suprised by this wonderful game even after all these years.

Yeah I started a Iksar SK when Kunark first came out and played it to like level 28. I wondered why it took me what seemed like 6 months to do it, and it probably did lol.

Back then, it wasn't a race to get to 60, at least not for most. People were busy having fun and discovering new things. I remember having like a lvl 9 magician for 2 months just exploring and dying lol
