I played from Release until about June 1999. I started on Rallos Zek which wasn't the best in my opinion. Then a bunch of Coworkers were talking about it. They played on Brell so I started up again about mid release of Kunark and Played through POP until 2004. Playing it on a Blue server made more sense for me and I enjoyed the game. The disparaging difference between the High End Items and all other items made me quite the game. There was a period where I could raid a lot and had Vex Thall items but in Pop, 4k Hit points wasn't that much. Once I got into Plane of Earth, I stopped playing as everyone was jumping into LDon.

It was my niece and nephew that introduced me to EQ. They had been playing since release and I used to give them a speech that went something like like; "In my day we didn't have computers. We used pencil, paper and dice and our imaginations." I did it mostly just to annoy them and it worked.

On my birthday I received a present from them which in my family is a novelty because we don't typically give presents to each other after the age of 18 outside of immediate family. We have parties and celebrations but presents are usually reserved for the kids. The present was EQ. I still remember the music once the game was installed and updated, (a really long update on dial-up), I made a rogue in Freeport, wandered around not knowing anything and died to the first rat I attacked. It was AWESOME!

The best part was that there all these other real people playing with me. I will never forget it. I have been playing EQ in one way or another ever since. I have tried nearly every other mmo out there but EQ is the only one that keeps me coming back time after time after time. 1999 is what is still keeping me playing. Thanks folks [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Jan 2000 Haken Moonshine Woodelf Druid 57 Prexus. Various Alts.
Woodelf Druid took till lvl 14 to leave Faydwer. When I did wow 19 @ Oasis Crocs, madmen, orcs n skels.
Two things about this zone
< ooc> SG to docks
ME: what's an sg...
Found out why surname wasn't TheAnimalCharmer. Nuff said.
Weirdly, took up trade skills in the hopes of making something useful. By the time we had skills (212 smith) each piece needed a blue diamond OMFG.
Grouping as Stirgah in An Sli Amach forever memorable.
De'Lere going down for Yana then later wondering why all the Freeport guards where running at me as I fell from Sky. Must be a welcoming committee. Good times.

My first time was a little after the release of Velious. My mother was hunting spiders in Velk's with a group and had to get up and go to the bathroom while she was fighting. I had watched her play many times and after a brief rundown she left her squishy ranger in my tender 8 year old hands. Killed two more spiders while she was gone and after that let me make a character on her account. Been playing ever since.
