Started the week of release. Barb Shaman and remember just being lost for hours on end in Everfrost Peaks. Got SOW a few levels later and saw people with black axes in Blackburrow. The next month or so of my game time consisted of me running to Steamfont caves for axes and then back to Blackburrow to sell them for a 8 plat or so I think. No wonder it took me years to hit 50...

Good times, glad to see that a classic EMu got off the ground and looking forward to logging in, installing now.

Started in beta. Friend saw it advertised and said he thought I might like it. Signed up and have been playing since. Still have accounts on live.

Started during Kunark but didn't stick to a single main character until Velious I think, that's when my Iksar necro was created early 2001 and played him for years on Tholuxe Paells server. After a few years I switched to Firiona Vie server and played an iksar warrior... Still have account on live but I haven't played it in quite a while. . .

Held off playing EQ for quite a while. I remember reading reviews and the only thing that really stuck with me was the apparent majesty of fiercely battling tons and tons of... snakes and rats.

Bought it as an impulse buy in Costco when Kunark came out.

Hooked.

Right after release of kunark. My older brother insisted i'd try it and i'd be hooked. Hate it when he's right.

I started in beta. Had the cd sent straight to my grandparent's house [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.] oh the days! Played from beta to velious. Quit before any of the planes came out. I got Kunark and Velious expansions bought for me (i was very young, so couldn't buy my own copies) and my parents didn't buy me the planes when they came out, so I got bored. lol

I remember watching the game at a friends house as he walked around Felwithe and thinking, "This is magical."

March 17th, 1999. I was so upset, I couldn't get it to run in the 16th... I missed a DAY... heh, and played for almost 7 years. E'ci was the server of choice for me, and I remember only paying $9.89 a month (thanks 989 studios!)

And today, Aug 19, 2010, I am gonna try this EQEmulator site!

I remember my first real taste of EQ was a free trial that came with my boyfriend's father's sony vio desktop that gave access to the classic content only (though Kunark was out at the time). I didn't get my own account until after I was a few quarters into college (Dec. 2000/Jan 2001).

Sometime in 1999. Definitely before Kunark. I stopped a few weeks in because someone scammed me (easily.. I was an idiot) out of a leather helm. I was upset that people behave on the internets the same way they do in real life.

Got back into it a few months later when Kunark came out, got to 61. That Ranger still exists, but I have zero clue how he wound up on Bertox. Did that get merged with Saryrn?
