I remember me and a buddy talking about how we would never play a game that we had to pay a monthly fee for. We cited EQ as a game we would never play. I came home one day to see him playing EQ asked what is was, made fun of him and his Iksar Warrior, and promptly went out and bought the game when he told me I could play an ogre. This was a few months after the Kunark release.
We played on The Seventh Hammer, I started with an Ogre Warrior named Roggrogg Spynepuller, and he had Kask Amantillado. After gettin the Warrior to 51 I decided i did not like him, and ended up leveling a Ranger, Erinn, to 66 before I quit.
A majority of our time was spent in a guild called Frith, a family style guild that was a lot of fun. I eventually wanted to raid real content, so I joined The Dark Exile for about 4 months until work mde raiding an impossibility.
I got bored and quit after OoW or GoD whichever was the 2nd of the 2. I tried SWG, EQII, and DDO, but eventually settle on WoW. I still use EQ as the model for raiding, as the live game was soulcrushing for leveling and high end raiding.
I am bored with WoW now, so i do my 2 weekly raids there, and the rest of the time play on THF now.
