one of my fondest memories of Everquest

One of my best eq memories is back in 2004 when i started playing full time and seriously. On my necromancer I would ding level 20 then die go back to level 19. Warsliks Woods was a new place for me at the time, I would attempt to retrieve my corpse I would keep dying because mob would disrupt spell so could not feign death. Out of frustration almost deleted toon but my sister on her level 60 or 65 at the time Druid helped me. I miss the days you eitiher had to fight to get your corpse back because had all your money, gear on it or wait a couple days for it to pop in shadowrest zone to retrieve it. There was no corpse summoner or guild hall porter. Sadly that is one of the missing elements that made eq fun. You had to come up an idea to keep from dying or team up with a higher level someone with more exprience: from that you could start a friendship.

EQ is a love hate relationship....you love and hate everything in it....you love some people ( usually guildies) and hate others (dirtbags on my ignore list)..you love some zones and hate others....you love some raids and hate others....you love some quests and hates others....
I love raiding, hate progression quests...love the game hate the devs with the NERF BAT ....love my characters, hate leveling and gearing them all.

The thing I love the most are those that still play the game, The thing I hate the most are missing the ones no longer showing up to play on my friends list and those that will R.I.P. Forever!

I still remember back in Kanark days starting my first Character - Barbarian Warrior in Halas. Venturing out into the Tundra and being completely freaked out by a Giant named Polar bear running towards me with some psycho barbarian. Oh he isnt attacking me. Thats a relief. But nearly everything else killed me. Oh the Soloists. Buggered named Skelletons always supprising us newbies in the valleys arround the place. Oh and then stumbling blind into Blackburrow (no torches in the tunnel back then) only to be slammed down by red cons too hard for me to handle - then having to corpse recover through the same blindness.
Fun times!

I remember a good day back in the day getting 6 AAs in WoS shortly after OoW released! spending hours to regain mana, sitting, chatting with people, making new friends, grouping with others cause it was a requirement, anything you could do solo was way low leveled stuff, have a lot of great memories from this game in the past 13 years of playing!

One of the many things i love about EQ is the music, Though I don't play with it on all the time, when i want to immerse myself in the world a little more it's wonderful for that. To pick a few of favorites, the Natimbi zone, Plane of Knowledge, and strangely - the old midi merchant tune.

I was just telling some guildies this story tonight. When veil of alaris first came out me and a friend went to argath for the first time. In running down the big spiral ramp we both fell to our death and someone below shouted "It's raining corpses".

First big event of EQ

First big event was the undead invasion in Qeynos Hills. was a baby druid and was hunting just outside Surefall Glade entrance. When night came all of these red con agro undead mobs came running after me. I ran like a little school girl ran past the guards who attacked the undead. So I decided to help them by casting nukes at the undead. How was I to know that the rain line of spells would damage a guard..... Little did I know that those guards hit really really hard......

I remember first starting up after my brother had played a couple years, and thinking, this should be fun. It was, and still is. I made a human Paladin, and went to work. having to work so hard for any gear really made for a challenge for someone who is not very computer savvy. One purchase I made that surprised many people I was playing with at the time was the Blade of Disruption, when I was only level 23 or 24. Everyone thought I needed to be level 66, but I pointed out that was only the recommended level, not required. Having got it for a cheap price, I had a great 1-hand slash weapon that grew with me for many levels. This, of course, was before all of the newer weapons that came out in Underfoot and later, maybe a bit before. They learned then to read carefully what the write-up says about weapons and armor. My best moment in helping out.

So, I can't lie. I've never played EQ, but EQII from the start. So, my best memory from the game is getting slaughtered by the X2 in Nektropos Castle. Had lots of wipes there! That and being picked off by the epics in commonlands.

One of my best & worst memories from is from back in 2002 when I was at around level 10-12 or so, and had died in Everfrost, and had lost my corpse. Some guy had found my corpse and offered to drag it, so gave him /consent. He then dragged it and hid it and wanted 200 plat to give it back! I had never seen that much plat total in my life at that point.

So I /ooc soandso is ransoming my corpse for 200 plat, can anyone help me find it?

Entire zone starting looking, and even called in friends and guild mates to help look. We finally found it stuck up on top of one of the mountains there.

I made a few friends that day, so it turned out for the best, and I did get my corpse and gear back!

'Sneaky Pete' and 'Hefty Lefty' were GMs offering their services one night to perform 'mob-hits' on EQ players for cash. Well, Scooba and Undertoww just couldn't pass up the chance to put out a couple of 'contracts'... on their own guildies! Moments later, the unsuspecting Rugab and Quendra were 'rubbed-out' as they were playing the game.

My brother and I were playing and I decided to have a few drinks (in game) didn't know what it did to speech was so funny. My brother kept wondering what I was saying.
Good times when the wife started playing. She made a druid in Kelethin and I made a ranger. When she finally made her way down to the ground I asked her to follow me but because I had gone over one of those tiny hills, she couldn't see me. I told her to go straight ahead but she had turned a bit. She was getting frustrated because a big old bat was trying to kill her. When she asked where to go Isaid turn...no direction just turn. This made her mad because on matter how much she turned she could not see me. Finally caught up to her and we kept playing with some of those same things happening. No idea how she kept playing after all that but she still does to this day.
Had some real good times with a bunch of other real life friends that played, did a lot of LDoN's.
Great game, great times.

Some of my fondest memories are from kunark era, playing in LOIO with some friends. I started in 1999 and when kunark launched, i remember being chased by drachnids in FV trying to get to LOIO zone in the river. LOIO was great and eventually train central Karnor's Castle. As a monk though, i didn't have to worry about much, as long as FD didn't fail :)

Gnomish Greetings!

My fondest memory was looking around in the game and realizing how incredibly huge the game was. For several days I ran from Ak'Anon to Qeynos to complete a quest when I was just level 16 to complete a quest there.

I just finished my bst's 2.0 and was in the last zone for the turn (forget it now) and the Shar Vahl kitty was summoning all the other bsts. When they all got there I was humbled and had goosebumps reading the lore. Even though that is one of the worst 2.0s to do, it was well worth the effort to see that.

I remember when Velious first launched. I joined EQ in late 1999, early 2000, so I missed the Kunark launch. Velious was the first time I was in the game when new areas opened, and I remember the joy of exploring the new content, not knowing what lurked around the next corner.

Riding the boat to Iceclad, seeing the dragon bridge for the first time, taking a nosedive off of the edge of the ramp to Kael Drakkel, stepping foot into Thurgadin, and descending into the depths of the Crystal Caverns; all of these experiences hold a special place in my heart.

I love how expansive the game is and was even when it first started. Even simple things like running from Qeynos to Freeport could, and did, take an hour even in the best conditions. That all changed when I rolled a druid and could port across the Karanas.
