I was in Best Buy the day it was released. I had no prior knowledge of the game, read no reviews, nothing. I just saw it in the ad, and looked at the box in the store and thought what the heck, I'll give it a try. Then I find out it required me to pay money to play, and I was annoyed by that, thinking I just wasted money and couldn't return it. Then the first month, there was horrible connection issues, and being annoyed that I was having to pay for something that was down over half the time. Luckily they gave me another month free.

I wasn't that bad. I mean yeah my base agi was 73 and cha was 61 due to not knowing what mattered. But I eventually fixed the agi with AAs!

I always had fun with my short name "Lag" and folks. My two favorites were:

(Upon entering a zone) "We are Lag. Lower your buffs and surrender your equipment. You will adapt your racial bonuses to service us. Resistance is futile."

(Upon someone shouting or oocing "Lag spike") "Sorry. I got excited."

i was in beta.

after determining it was awesome, i wrote a letter to GMs crying telling them that my parents were divorced and that the only way me and my brothers (who were with the other parent) could be a family again was to play games online together.

they sent 2 additional beta keys the next day. i forgot about that story till my brother reminded me of it haha (yes, i made it up.)

I think it was in '99 when I started. My bro played since beta and introduced me to the game. I had my own account before the Kunark release, but I don't really remember if it was in '99 or not.

After LDoN released I'd had enough. The game had sucked so much time out of my life. I'm going to play it much more casually this time around. Just started P99 a few days ago.

I played from day 1 in 1999 until around 2006. I've played on and off since then.

I couldn't get into Beta but waited months for EQ to release. I remember the first month being so terrible with connection issues. I spent a lot of time trying to connect to the game and watching my packet loss meter drop from Green to yellow to Red then black screen with white letters "You have been disconnected from the server".
I was on the Karana server and waiting for the loading screen took almost 1 and 1/2 times through the EQ theme. Probably why I still have that theme drilled into my brain, but I love it.
