[Wed Jun 12 15:58:49 2002] Kelton says out of character, 'wtf happened here'
[Wed Jun 12 15:59:02 2002] Xebz says out of character, 'KELTON FAST GET OUT'
[Wed Jun 12 15:59:14 2002] Kelton says out of character, 'lol naw'
[Wed Jun 12 15:59:33 2002] Priest of Discord shouts 'Let this fool's meaningless death be a reminder to you all that the power of Discord is absolute!'
[Wed Jun 12 15:59:33 2002] Kelton has been slain by Priest of Discord!

If you scroll up, you will find this potential explanation:

I think part of the reason there were so many giants is this picture was taken at the very start of sullon zek.

Sand giants share spawns with lower level mobs, so each time these low level mobs in oasis are killed there is a chance a sand giant will spawn in their place. Being the start of the server, and the heart of evil team's hunting ground, basically meant the players in the zone were forcing lots of sand giants to spawn and no one was high enough level to kill them, making them much more common than normal.

That said, I have to agree with the OP that they are a little too rare on this server. Many times you can run through the zone and there isn't even a single sand giant up.

My only other explanation is that Fansy is a boss.

I got curious and googled EQ-playing celebrities. Makes me wonder if any of those celebrities/famous people have decided to try P99. Apparently Robin Williams' son played back in the day, along with R.A. Salvatore and a handful of others.

There was a famous baseball player at the time (whose name eludes me because he's retired and therefore not famous anymore unless you're a baseball fan, and I'm not) who played EQ.

Eric Bloom, lead singer of Blue Oyster Cult, played it, though he eventually switched to WoW.

Most of the Allman Brothers played it back in the day.

Curt Schilling might be the baseball player you are thinking about

I THINK SO!!

MOAR GIANTS lololol

Anthony Cumia used to play back in the day too.

Everquest ruined Curt Schilling though. He thought he could make his own and threw all of his money and then some at it. The single player precursor was lackluster and the MMO died before ever being officially announced.
