Ill choose a funny memory, Zek, when they decided to make PoK a pvp zone. BHAHAHHAHA I remember levitating up a wall to hide from pvp. Bazaar and Nexus were safe zones. This lasted roughly a day maybe two before they reversed the decision to make it a pvp zone.

Also completing my mage epic 1.0.

I started Everquest 15 years ago when I was in high school , the game really made an impact in my life because I played almost everyday ,day and night. The most memorable moment of this games when I started playing erudite wizard at oasis dock. I remember people like to train spature and giant all the way from that area because it's a safe way to med,and just see how funny people ran and shout out rude words makes me want laugh and shout too. and have to enter three zones just to get back and retrieve corpse. I think that's my most memorable eq moments.

It's amazing the memories made and the friendships created by this game. My most memorable moment would be the first time I zoned into Plane of Time after having finally gotten my key. How open and large the zone was. Seeing all the effort made by 72+ other people to get everyone flagged so we could continue on our mission to destroy the gods!

I am trully upset and appalled at SOE for this . Once again they try and rally the good folks of EQ and then not allow them to sell..unless you happen to be a gold member or have a Kronos(sp?)...This was supposed to be 16 all access and it is sorta like eh..who cares to some of the players that trully enjoy the game.Why else spend hours doing skills when all you can do is sell to the regular venders..BAh..

When I first started I kept trying to make a male char but it would only let me make a Female one. So I kept it what the heck got more low lvl loving that way and a lot of are you a real girl. Was way later when I found that the char select button for the male/female was toggle and that is why I could not get it to make a male char.

Having a ranger for a brother whose claim to fame was "Having more square footage devoted to him in Shadowrest than any other player".

Trains are fun. Especially ones you pull - after DoN's release and the infamous beam spells we decided to pull a train in Noble's Causeway. I say "we", I mean a certain ranger I group with. A train of murkgliders. Lots of murkgliders. A random PuG paladin had joined us by this point with no idea as to what was about to happen (haha).
...tells the group, "Inc...many."

Suffice it to say the Paladin did what most tanks do - pull aggro on the first thing he sees.
I can't imagine the look on his face when he realised the immensity of the train...or the fact he was now enemy #1, as:
1) He'd locked horns with the train lead; and
2) He wasn't moving like the rest of us.

Like a laser chainsaw through butter, the trains impact wasn't at all slowed by the guy who left almost immediately after.

solo-ing late into the night in Karana. Aviaks didn't stand a chance.. neither did my relationship lol

My memory is a bit rusty these days, but back in the Velious era I became a master of the Crystal Caverns... I had all the named worked out and their rough timers memorized. With a few friends we could lock down every named camp all by ourselves. This was back when having a full set of Dwarf, Giant, or Dragon armor was amazing - when Everyone in the server hung out in Thurgadin... not the Lobby.

I still like to visit the classic version of the Crystal Caverns, by far my favorite zone in the entire game.

I also loved going into Icewell Keep, and hanging out with the historian and letting the music play while I did my homework. I wish we could buy music compilations... particularly of the those that exist only as Midi... done with some high quality card or something. Sell it digitally... Daybreak... Take my money! <3

No matter how many times I go play other MMO's... I always still come back to Everquest. Anniversary time is my favorite time to play!

I miss grinding exp with real people Instead of one person with 4 other toons..id spend hours making new friends I wish eq would go back to the old days was way more fun

my fondest memories were the corpse runs especialy in the karanas. as a ranja i died often and then i rolled a zerker when they came out and died even more.

I first got started in EQ back when I was having to move out of state and not being able to play AD&D with a group of buds that I've know since high school. That was in July of 2001. We tried to get together about once per month but I was 4.5 hours away and that just didn't happen enough. One of the guys said that "This Everquest thing is the best thing since D&D and you don't even have to keep track of the dice!". I was in after that.
1). My first character was a necro and I thought sending in the skeleton to get wacked on while I dotted was cool, but it just wasn't for me. A short time later, I made a 1/2 elf ranger and within 10 minutes, I had fallen from the trees in Kelethin to my death and lost my corpse and newbie gear. Ugh! I was hooked at that point. Lol I was determined to beat the crap out of the orc pawns and move up to wasps when I could.

2). When I finally made it to level 14, I went to Lake of Ill Omen with those friends. The enchanter, wizard and pally were jealous of my snare! I was jealous of their slow, haste and pet, the damaging power of the wizzy and the healing and AC of the pally.

3). I was heading out of the Firiona Vie on the boat to go to Timorous Deep and there was a "glitch" while I walked away to get a snack. I come back and find myself back in Kelethin with nothing on me. I was like.. "What the heck happened!". So I run through Lesser Fay after waiting for it to be day time, to Butcher Block past the mean sea goblins and make my way to the dock. I wait for the boat and then I'm back in FV. I then remember that I have no idea if I died in this zone or the next. Ugh. So I then remember that there was a corpse finding rod that I could buy somewhere but it was no where close. So I ran and bought one and came back to FV. My corpse was in this zone and it pointed me in it's direction but it was in the ocean somewhere. So I ran off the dock and didn't turn at all! This was when my swimming skill was about 30 and my endurance didn't last long enough to make it to my corpse and I died again. Back to Kelethin I went. While I headed back to FV, I /ooc'ed in each zone for a corpse summoner to help and sure enough, a necro came to my aid. He summoned both my corpses and all I had to pay was to cover the cost of the tiny coffins.

I have many others but those are my top three. All in all, it's the RL friends and the In Game friends that make EQ special. Of course the challenging quests and missions help a lot!

Thanks for all you do, Developers. You've made a BUNCH of people happy over the years and I am truly one of them.

Fear Itself. Loved you needed a full raid group just to get thru the Baddies at the zone in. You needed a game plan before you took one step into that zone
