When was your first experience with Everquest?

[Karbine]

I started at the beginning before it was full screen. Remember the first time I made it to the tunnels from Freeport. the feeling of adventure and unknown wonders was so great. it was my first experience in a mmorpg.

April 1999, was a paladin on Innoruuk named darkenrahl. I went red too lol. I had so many shiny brass shields looted off my corpses =/. I still remember takhisis, lexus, pychow, and a few other dark elf pk's that used to team up on me for being a human paladin. One of my favorite memories back then was the opening of Befallen for the first time, Mistmoore event with Mayong Mistmoore himself, and bringing FS weapons to karanas and selling them for a pretty penny to other players.

Good memories all around, I remember a troll warrior named Bgal was one of the first to be decked out from guk with fbss, silver legs, silver bracers, dual ykeshas and Ruby chest from Cazic thule. That guy was a hell of a warrior.

Same way I feel, like we were gifted the era we never got to properly enjoy.

Bumps for this thread, good stuff here.

I watched my brother play Vanilla EQ for about a year until I begged and pleaded for a computer of my own to play it. He'd occasionally let me roll a newb character, but he was a real asshole about letting me play it for more than an hour or two before kicking me off.

By the time I had some autonomy, Kunark was already out.

Played in my dad's account for a while when I was really, really young, like four or five. I didn't know how to do anything and totaled about an hour of playtime, but it was fun-ish. Hopefully I can turn and not get stuck in walls and not autoattack the Priest of Discord this time around.

..Does EQ 2 count?
