the guild i belong to is still going strong. I have moved on but they remain to this day, Eternal Sovereign
I raided with them in the early days up until PoP and with the contested content back then and the race to get to RZ was the best community times I have had in a game since.

the tutorial. i really loved it. i loved feeding the dragon flutterflies. i loved the tutorial so much that i made a bunch of toons just to repeat it.
oceangreen. i loved going there to see what the old lands looked like before qeynos came along

my epics- i did most of them. they were fun. i even did two cleric epics. the worst one was the rogue epic. my druid lost her faction in her home town because she went to help my rogue and transport him everywhere and help keep him alive. but i loved that epic.

certain mobs i camped and killed - like the cragbeast queen and tunare

the coldain shawl quest. yeah i completed it on 4 toons.

my first visit to brell's and the time i spent gathering those mushrooms- even when my little druid got killed by the bad badger looking people (yeah i know, they are the cute burnai)

fishing for special fish only to have my nephew come along while i ran for a bio break and delete my bag full of them because he had made a new bag with my trophy and didn't know what to do but was afraid to wait for me to come back- after all, he was only supposed to fish while i was away.

foraging - i loved foraging more than anything. i loved going to a new zone to see what i would forage from there

finding items that would look nice in my house- vases and mugs from quests and bowls dropped by different mobs, shields with special graphics. these are all fond memories.

Nothing quite like bouncing off the sky when you're being catapulted, so you can fall to your death!

Logging into everquest for the first time in 1999, spending weeks learning to navigate butcherblock and surrounding zones with nothing but sense heading. In particular I remember being around level 15 and making friends with a 40 something dark elf wizard killing dwarfs at the docks. We made an arrangement, he would give me all the weapons to go sell, I could keep the gold and he got the platinum. Of Couse weight was a real issue back then, but eventually I got a system down. Good times.

Edit: I can't go without mentioning Plane of Hate corpse runs and Karnors Castle (in particular) trains, although not the fondest memories they're a huge part of what made EQ such an amazing game.

I do not think anything can top EQ at all! There to much to list on what is my favorite but I would have to mention my first times grping was with my cousin and we would alternate playing both us was in highpass hold killing gnolls then going to highpass keep for the goblins. In highpass keep there was this guy was grouping with and I will never forget his pull message was 'lets kill it and get another.' Some of the most fun we had at the lower lvls lol. The best ever made nothing can compare.

I have played Everquest since 1999 and Enjoyed it throughout the years. Even when my Dial up internet connection cost me alot of deaths during the horrible lag spikes. Ding Welcome to Level 5, plop, back to level 4, Dang You Kelethin Lifts!!!

Being a Warrior, I hated running and waiting for Ports from Druids and Wizzies. Paying 100pp for a port to Kunark (from GF or BB). Man I used to remember hating to die. Especially if you didn't bind in a city close enough to make the run. Thank You EQ for Planes of Power when you added the books. No More waiting for Druids or Wizzies at BB or GF for a Port.

Ahh Memories. I have played other online MMOs: Guildwars, Dark Ages of Camelot, Rift, Elders Scrolls Online. Yes EVEN the Dreaded World of Warcraft, what a waste of buying the game and wasting a whole month on that. I also played alot of other Game Console Games, but Everquest keeps calling me back with another Expansion and New content to see. I have bought every expansion for Everquest and for all 3 of my Accounts.

I had a fourth that I was using just to have a Merchant when Luclin came out. Back when you would have to have a constant merchant to sell item. But back then I didn't complain because it was still a step up from East Commonlands and lag spikes from trying to sell your wares by Torch 2 or 3.

I don't have a favorite expansion because I liked them all. New Content meant New Challenges and I think that is what I loved about everquest. Still throughout the years, I still came back to Everquest. To Me, it is one of the Greatest Games I ever played.

My best day in Everquest was when my guild took down Innoruk before the revamp, we were the last ones to do it. It was revamped three days later. Right after the raid I finished my epic 1.0 on a half elf ranger, very proud day.

I started playing EQ 6 months after launch. I fondly recall the 4 hour trek to Freeport from Halas to get my level 9 toon into my first guild. It was an awesome adventure and still to this day I remember it fondly!

EQ helped me separate and finally divorce my first wife. Thank You!!

fabled are the best part of eq

My charished memory of eq was a bunch of friends fighting at orc highway way back in the day and watching other players pull from spec island and yelling in general chat train to zone lol

I'll start with the first time I really knew I wanted to play this game... Before my long tenure on Lanys, I played a Paladin on Solu Ro. I remember getting a group in Upper Guk so while in Innothule Swamp at the entrance to Upper Guk I noticed a Bard sitting at the entrance but he was completely decked out in plate and these cool weapons. There was probably 3-5 people gathered around him inspecting him and asking where he got his gear. He was 50 obviously and everyone in our group knew we had a lot of work to do. I took screenshots of his inventory, went to various fan sites, made gear lists and goals. Found drop locations and printed maps. I knew that I wanted to look and be as cool as that guy. Understanding I was in High School then but it was such a cool moment at the time and you rarely have those moments in MMO's today. High levels are tucked away in instances and/or raids and community is completely segregated an no long a part of the world.
