When I first started playing EQ in 01, I rolled a Pally. I got myself from Erudin to Black Burrow to slaughter some gnolls.. who ended up slaughtering me. I started asking for a port to BB not knowing that Butcherblock Mountains existed in the game. Eventually, someone ported me to Greater Faydark telling it was close by. I had never heard of the zone and I ended up dying there not long after. I lost the corpse and my twink wep that my uncle had given to me. Deleted the pally and rolled a shm after that incident.

Hmmm my most cherished memory is probably when I was a new monk in my guild and they had me pulling in kedge. It was my first time in the zone and I pulled the entire thing up to phinny. It was a lot of fun, but it was also stressful since I would have easily wiped the entire raid. :))

my most cherished moment was when five people from a random Luclin guild joined serverwide Ranger and told me they were going to kill me and severely handicap me at the next Fan Faire. (ps - they didn't)

Well, one of my memories was one guy boxing the entire heal chain in Anguish.

I once free'd a dwarf in Befallen when I was training lockpicking in my young days in EQ:

While I kept picking the 3rd door there suddenly a dwarf girl was on the other side, saying something like "Thanks for letting me out. I fell down the shaft and found myself locked in.". I then escorted her out (there are two more locked doors on the way).

Hmm, lots of things to pick from...

Back when I first started playing the game, I was fighting gnolls on the top floor of Blackburrow. I had the misfortune of learning that the tree next to the Qeynos Hills zone line has a false floor and fell into its trap for my first time. I started walking around, trying to figure out where I was, but I had never been that deep inside of Blackburrow before, and eventually, I found death.

I didn't know what to do. I had lost all my precious gear, and I had no clue how to retrieve my corpse, and then all of a sudden, I received a tell from a level 16 barbarian shaman saying they see my corpse. They asked me to /consent them and said they would bring it up top for me.

I was so relieved. The shaman and I got to know each other pretty well over the next few years, and we even met up in person. He moved onto other games, such as World of Warcraft, but we still keep in touch here and there.

Quite an experience going from meeting someone in the game to becoming friends in real life.

My most cherished memories were making friends. Some still play, some have moved on, while some have passed on. I will long cherish the memories of Sanlain, Dogsoldier and Skratch. Rest in peace, my EQ friends.

my most cherished was making my first friend and running thru everfrost together, watching out for ice goblins, orcs and getting lost in those cold passages and waiting for the day I was high enough level to take on the ice giants that were always camped. I can take them now!!!

First trip in a boat - the feeling of the unknown and adventure it held!

When I was 10 years old, and first started to play EQ, I remember the long, long wait to level 9 as a beastlord, wondering: when, oh when, will I get my first pet? - as well as scraping together ever last copper I had to afford spells!

My favorite memory was back in 1999 . My friend and i were hanging out waiting for the boat and we were killing sand giants. I ended up meeting a lot of great people that day:)
