Stupid things you believed about EQ way back then
So what stupid stuff did you believe...
For me, there were 2 I remember First, I was sure I read somewhere that rangers could not/should not kill animals or we would lose our rangers skills. I even had a guide tell me that I should not kill animals. Second, I believed that if you died in Lava you lost your corpse forever. Imagine how scary that made SolA for me pulling to the zone line, which I did for like 5 levels. Eventually, I DID die in lava and I was in a complete panic. I eventually petitioned and had my corpse warped to the zone line by a GM.

My step dad played EQ before me and played a druid. When I started playin I remember him yelling at me for killin animals cause I was a druid saying, if I killed any animals they would all come after me.

When I first started EQ, it was the Oct. after Kunark came out. As a low level halfling warrior. I felt adventurous one day and took the boats from Freeport to BB, then got on the skiffs to Kunark. A guy told me that if I fell off any of the boats, that a giant kraken would kill me and my corpse would be lost forever. I fell off in Timorous Deep and ended up on some desert island. There was a dwarf paladin in zone and it took him forever to find me on one of the many islands I was on. We swam and swam until I eventually found an old raft. It took me to the Oasis of Marr. I looked on my EQ map I got in the box and it looked SO FAR from Freeport. Little did I know it was just up the zone line. I followed the coast back to FP. That was a fun adventure, but how naive I was back then lol!

The rare Sea Monster that would spawn in Lake Rathetear was a good one...

Oh I just thought of another...
Anti-camp radius. That was a widely held belief at the time [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

That the first Orc pawn that I killed was now going to have the legions of Crushbone come and kill me. That the vendor's recommendation that "You look like you could use a rusty mace" was a valid recommendation and as such I would see how much it was and then go kill enough crap to buy it only to get Your Class / Diety cannot equip this.

That when SoE said they wanted to take a look at Plane of Mischief I thought they were going to finish some quests and add silliness... Not gut the zone and turn it into just another raid zone.

Or if you didn't loot a mob's corpse - it would take longer to respawn.
