Hello /vr/!

Let talk about one of the oldest MMO out of the box?

How long did it take you to travel to Freeport or Guk?

being excited for the release of Star Wars Galaxies I decided to buy everquest so I was familiar with massively multiplayer systems etc.

I have fond memories of the game but could never play it again.

I fondly recall killing Iksar's in the lake of ill omen!

I fell off a boat once and had to swim in the ocean for three hours before finding land. I was killed by the first mob that saw me. I think I ended up somewhere in Kunark.

remember when Everquest hooked you for months all because of week long respawn time!?

If you didn't play Ogre shaman you didn't play the game.

Even ogre beastlord was good, got big ass bear and a grow spell to force everyone in your party to stare at bear anus all day.

Played a half elf warrior, was one of the tanks of my guild. We started doing planes of power raids before I just couldnt take it anymore.

Plus, friends were starting to play ffxi, and I made the switch.

I miss it so much. P1999 just wasnt good enough, the community was shit.

Humans are shit, Ogres were where it was at. No stun from front, high strength, high HP, shocking people with pair cha+ cups that boosts your charisma to over 150, and those sweet low res models before they ruined the game with POP.

I tried playing it recently now that it's free. It forces you to go through a shitty tutorial and grind in a cave for fucking hours before you can go anywhere. Absolute dick. the game was already 90% grinding and they kick you off to that at the start now.

UO is better in my opinion. But it's also a lot of grinding, It just doesn't feel like it to me because I'm free to come and go as I please.

you mean EQ? I hated when it forced the high res models, I hated when it started the tutorial, I thought POP made getting between towns too easy. Tried p1999, good nostalgia, but I have a job and wife now, didn't have those 13 years ago, so no time to really get back into it.

I do not like playing as unnatractive or aesthetically unpleasing characters.

But yeah I agree about Crescent Reach as well it's not soo bad once you reach the older zone's though.

>That first time you tried to run through Kithcor Forest at night time.

Man that place was a suicide run.

My first character was a high elf wizard, started with Kunark. Man I dunno how many times I got ganked when you had to med with your spellbook open and it covered the entire screen.

Oh man.

My aunt used to play this back when girl gamer meant unappealing middle aged spinster. I first picked Shaman because it sounded so cool and I liked the Vah Shir race, but at 10 in my first MMO I couldn't CC or heal worth a damn, so she said Magician fit me better.
