running to firepots on my late 20s wiz invis seeing epic druids (lol) quad kiting raptors was one of the first epic things i remember doing and then staff of the wheel quest
i just remembered i had a babby iks nec and was blown away by the swaying trees in warslik woods, exploring the gorge with the huge iksar statues by the bridge was memorable at low levels | ||

I remember the kunark trees being controversial when kunark first dropped, because people thought they were responsible for the lower framerates in kunark zones rather than just the increase in polygon counts overall. The devs had to repeatedly explain that the swaying branches have next to no impact on framerate, because angry nerds were demanding an option to disable the sway.

I was in high school. All of us played Tribes and Starcraft together online. One day one of our friends got a game called EverQuest, and he made this big deal out of it, he literally pre-ordered it, and I didn't even know what it was. Once he got it, he wasn't in school for a week afterwards.
He finally came back to school telling me how amazing this game was, so I spent the night at his house, and I remember being dumb-founded by how stupid this game looked. He's literally wandering around a swamp killing tadpoles repeatedly for hours on end, and I'm like, how can anyone actually think this is fun? Isn't the point of online games so you can play with other people??? He ends up passing out, and I get on his computer and decide to give it a try. I get to the character selection screen, and I've never even heard of a "Dark Elf" or 90% of the races it listed. I finally decide I'm going to be a gnome, I don't even remember why, but then the classes confused me. Like what the hell is a Cleric? What the hell is a Druid? I don't really remember what happened, but I basically got addicted. Within 2-3 months every kid who rode my school bus was playing the game. It really was the Fortnite of our day, for those of us who were fortunate enough to own PCs capable of gaming, and who had parents who were cool enough to let us use their credit cards to play (using your credit card online was still taboo back then). | ||
