When was your first experience with Everquest?

Started playing pre-Kunark, I can't remember the exact day, but it was somewhere around Dec. 99 - Feb. '00. I remember this was the first time I played an MMO, so wanted to talk to other players. I had made a high elf, so ran out of the city to find people, next thing I know, I was dead, said killed by Orc Pawn. So I ran back out again...killed by Orc Pawn. Me being a noob, didn't realize this as a mob, and thought it was some wise-ass player who named himself Orc Pawn, so I started yelling through the zone "Damn you Orc Pawn, fight me like a man you noob!" And got thoroughly lol'ed at. Good times....

Pre-ordered EQ and bought a new computer for it (Dell with a Riva TNT card). Had the EQ disc installed before the servers were up.

There were a lot of server outages and downtime those first months. I settled on the Brell Serilis server since it was being called the "role playing preferred" server and made Quem and Quemn the day Brell opened.

Tried to start in original, but couldn't find a local copy.
Had some friends who played and told me to wait abit, Kunark was right around the corner and started with that.

Kunark and Velious were by far my favourite times.

Started pre-Kunark. When Kunark came out I rolled Iksar and never looked back. I quit playing during OOM. I tried to go back to live last year but quit due to the overflow of boxers.

I started around Kunark - and never played any of Luclin.

Maybe someone can help me on dates when I started. I remember I ditched my high elf I made and started playing a wood elf druid, and ended up moving to Freeport when I was like lvl 5. It was then that one day I ran through East and West Commons, and entered Kithicor at night. Only it was safe, no one ever worried about it cause it was a noob zone for Rivervale. About a week later, there was this event that SOE or Verrant or whoever they were at the time did, and it later became known as the Battle of Kithicor. This was the day the Plane of Hate opened in Kithicor for the first time, and damn, my fun runs to Misty Thicket were over, at least at night. Anyone remember when the Battle of Kithicor took place in Live?

I was watching an episode of NYPD Blue and one of the perpetrators said he was online playing Everquest. I checked Everquest out and bought the disk from Best Buy. I think that was during the Kunark expansion late 2000 but Im not positive.

1999, A friend I worked with kept talking about Everquest, and begged me to play, I didn't even own a computer, so I bought the game, ordered my computer from gateway and played for the next 6 years.
