Dear Tipa, I started everquest when I was 13 or 14.. I actually grew up with the game. Currently i’ll be turning 23 in august. Being that I was so young I really just hung out most of the time… Explored. Felt the actual magic the game had to offer. Lol six years of everquest and my highest character ever turned out to be 65. I lastest through luclin and pop. A couple afterwards but things started to die … I miss everything. Honestly, I check and see how EQ is doing through forums and such every other month or so. Are you guys still playing? I’d really like to finish up what I started years ago and feel what I havent felt out of a mmorpg in a long time.

Another funny ps.

I now play wow….. Characters name happens to be Qeynos ;) hahaha

Wow, I’m not alone! I feel like I left a piece of me back in EQ when I left. What a wonderful game. I was talking with my brother in-law last night about the old EQ1 days and he said that it was still live. We talked about maybe reactivating and giving it a whirl, but I’m afraid no one will be around and I’ll have no idea what to do after all this time. I read that there are now 15 expansions and 1,500 zones, and I have no idea what changes have taken place since me and my brother left in about 2004. It’s a little overwhelming to think about and I shudder to think of the old wound that would be re-opened if I had to leave this wonderful experience behind once again.

What have been your thoughts about conquering the learning curve after such a long time? Where did you go? How did you decide where to level/group at when you went back? Oh, and thanks for your original post. I was pleasantly surprised when it turned up in my search on EQ1 :)

Water was okay, but in Kedge Keep, I could barely breathe IRL my first time there. It was horrid.

Ghais, LOTS of people still play EQ, but later this month I think, or early next, the first new EQ server in years opens, the 51/50 server. New characters start off at level 51 with 50 AAs, so day 1, people will be taking down Vox and Naggy and Phinny and then moving right on to the newer content. I’m really excited about it.

(This post is a year old, we actually had a lot of fun going through the 1-70 content last year in EQ, with a LOT of Naggy and Vox killing along the way!)

There’ll be room tomorrow :) And I think we almost have enough for a third group, but I think there will likely always be someone missing on any given day until the third group gets going.

Got room for a late comer by any chance? I’d love to give EQ a whirl again, but I haven’t played it since at least 2004-2005 or so.

Wow, this sounds really cool. Sadly Friday is my pen and paper RPG night.
