Oh man, a ton of old schoolers around, awesome
I managed to track down Yamori and Istar ingame, talk about a walk down memory lane ;p I remember all of you guys, Lyion, Tikker, Xaiver,and Sandi if I remember correctly, you were a overly nice wizard in Jolly Pillagers
And I think I remember Tigole adopting Tikker during a outdoor kunark dragon kill, like he donated a 13/30 dagger or something lol. Atensen my apologies if I KS'd your Hadden, but weren't we equal level druids or something? It's possible my RL friend Riddik/Owned was playing, or Wooh or Manalope, or who ever else had access to that account haha.
I quit the game because I was 16 back when Kunark and Velious came out, and my mom was like " yea... um.. I got you a job, you start next week " Talk about a buzz kill for a person that played eq from the time school got out till 2 to 3am, sometimes I just choose to skip sleeping even on school nights lol. Needless to say Income + Lack of EQplaying netted me a girlfriend so I let Owned and Wooh use Burgy till I came back, and they got into a disagreement and Wooh took the account over. Since then I've briefly tried SWG- not for me, I messed around in the beta of WoW- not for me, andI played EQ2 as an iksar bruiser named Burgy till late lvl 30s- not for me. The graphics and just being back in Norrath was nice though, I quit right before they changed the combat system completely I guess. I went back to WoW because "every" one is doing it. I have a 60 ogre warrior on Mal'Ganis named Burgy if any of you play. Pretty pimped out with an Asscandy ( had it for 10~ months~) and some naxx dps plate, all of my T1, T2, bla bla. Easy leveling, over use of Instances, lack of gear itemization, and just kind of shitty attitudes of players ingeneral make that game get old quick.
All of these games had ups and downs, but the one thing Everquest had was an amazing community. I swear between the almost daily updates on LoS's webpage, and the insane drama that went on in Rants and Flames on NT, it definately defined this game. I don't know if all of EQ was as fortunate as Nameless was, or if we just got lucky and picked the right server. I guess i'm rambling, but if any of you guys are still playing, look me up on Stillenx !
