Nostalgia got to me

Hello everybody, I'm Grimwall and I just recently joined Project 1999.

I first started playing Everquest back in 1999, a few weeks after it was released and kept playing for close to 8 years (though the first years were the best).

This experience was so intense for me that never again have I felt the same epic feeling coming from another mmo/rpg.
Never again the joy of wearing a polar bear skin helmet while trying to find my way in the dark, surrounded by gnolls...

Never again being stuck in the Plane of Hate, in the Maestro's room for 2 weeks until a rescue team could be gathered to raid the place.

Did I mention the : "TRAIN INC !" ?

And I could go on forever ... Everquest was so immersive, every hour you'd spend made you feel like you'd achieved something (good thing it did : with my crappy 56k connection and how expensive it all cost back then [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.] )

Once you've experienced such things, it's hard to ever feel that way again but I'd like to thank the whole P99 team for giving us the possibility of touching the genuine package again.

See you on the server !

Getting past mobs in EQ could be tough, and often (for a ranger anyway) involved timing and the fear that I would be spotted. Then in EQ2 people simply ran past mobs with the knowledge that the mobs would eventually reach the end of their leash and stop chasing. It was so disappointing to not have to worry about inadvertent aggro!
