Noobs report in!

Rejoined in 08 after a break from 04-08... went from 62 to 73, got a whack of cash and about 1300 AA's

I did that all solo (ranger headshot FTW!).

So, I still have no idea what the Plane of Mischief is...

and, unlike Yendor, I am NOT playing a ranger again this time [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.] (although I will sorely miss tracking).

I envy you in a way, the things you are going to see and discover over the next few months.

I started in January 2000, and re-rolled when the Luclin server was released, about 1-2 months before Kunark. I was only 14-15 when Kunark was released, and didn't have a character reach 50 until well into Kunark, or 60 until well into Luclin. I played until shortly before Gates of Discord came out.

There is a LOT I haven't seen or done, even in classic EQ. I've killed Vox (once), but never tried Nagafen. I've done Hate and Fear many times, but Sky only once. I've been in on kills on all the Kunark dragons (not counting Veeshan's Peak), but only a handful of times. I did get an epic weapon on two of my characters, a cleric and a druid, but the druid one I finished solo just last year at level 64, with a mercenary. I've gotten the VP key once, but never been in the zone, and I've been in Sleeper's a couple of times, but only after the Sleeper had been awakened. Finally, I've been in Mischief, but it was already old news at the time (sometime during Luclin, I think).

Played a whole lot of Live -- 1999 'til early 2007 or so. I wish I could remember what level I got Fanon to on live. Magelo says 74, but I think that was just the last time I updated it.

I actually only went to Mischief once or twice, long after it was relevant to my content level. I did just about everything else in content-appropriate gear though, from Fear/Hate/Sky all the way on up to the endgame for whatever expansion came out after Omens of War (my favorite of the "modern" EQ expansions).

As far as I'm concerned, it goes:
1) Velious
2) Planes of Power
3) Kunark
4) Omens
...
10) Everything else.

Before SOE put a drake at the zone-in to POM in nToV, we had a guild mage load up his monk, flop drag the dead mage up to the POM house, rez it with a rez stick and then CoH guildies up so we could XP in POM. He would also offer to CoH anyone up there for a fee and he did pretty well cash wise doing that...

As for classic - Killed Naggy MANY times - there was an open raid on him on Saturdays on my old server (if he was up). Killed Vox like 2X. The only classic content I never did was I never XPed in uGuk. As a guild leader for 3 different guilds over the course of a few years, I got to do every single class epic 1.0 many many times and 2.0 about half as many times. I cannot count the number of times that I camped the stupid monk epic pipe in Chardok at the bridge. The horror...

Did you ever have the pleasure of camping the SolB for the Cleric epic? On my live server, it was heavily contested and you pretty much needed a presence there 24/7 and enough people on call to get the kill.

One of the most mind-numbing (yet rewarding) camps I ever did.

Since I played a cleric and was the GL and defacto class leader, I cannot count the number of times that I camped SolB waiting on the filthy human to spawn - As well as making the poor cleric in question wait for the final ragefire to pop - Multiple 24 hr shifts for that garbage. Good times...

Oh my God,

You just reminded me of Stormfeather.
I literally stay up for 37 hours, but I finally got my eyepatch of plunder.

If Proj1999 gets to Vellious, I bet Stormfeather will be camped for 2 years straight.

I never got past level 24 and quit before kunark.
