a few weeks ago i got an email from soe that they reactivated my acnt for a free week so i logged in to revisit old haunts. i made my way to freeport and visited boomba 1 last time. stood under the gates for a moment, sat by guard munden and /thanked him for helpin me 12 yrs ago by killin a large rat that almost got me. this song began playin and my heart sunk, i miss my old eq pals and our adventures. i camped out & uninstalled eq, those days are long gone and all thats left are great memories
@jogu78 I had the exact same feelings when I heard the song, I got bummed out for a second when I thought of all the good times and adventures I had with friends from gamings past. But its long over now...only memories.
Iv fought orcs, iv been chased by sand giants, i'v heard the moaning of a spectre, iv seen the faint glow of a fairy in a dark forest, iv journeyed across unknown lands, used the eye of a firebeetle to navigate at night
My name is Leaftin, I knew magic and was a young druid...I died many many years ago
If the wind is just right, and you listen close enough...you can hear my faint voice sending tells to give away all my gear
Stuck sitting by the Kelethin lift...dead before my time
@jogu78 check out project 99, its a free private server that emulates everquest + ruins of kunark - corpse runs, exp loss, ecommons is packed as hell with buyers/sellers, etc. its free!
@MeesterWolf99 I just started playing there. I'm so rusty it's pathetic. It's been 10 years. I can't even remember how to do the simplest things, like leave a group or drink alcohol.
@mrsparkle001 You'll find it'll start coming back to you - check the p1999 forum for some slight mods to the user interface (technical help area I think), think it's a stickied topic :) ...that'll help make things easier.
Memories...some of my favorite ones were a high lvl bard dot-ing then fearing all the trash mobs in front into a parade going back and forth,and a necro spelling out FU SOE in sacrificed bodies right out in front
I never could get into Freeport unless i was invisible. This game became so real, I once dreamed that my Dark ELf wizard was accepted in Freeport, just like it was accepted in Queynos for killin so many gnolls.
lol i remember playing this game so much i had dreams about it too. i loved to kill lady shae/guards and the monks in freeport i remember you could sell the monk headband/sashes for alot
@cult2dionysus rite! i remember making those low level freeport-qeynos runs and they were epic feats of heroics. freeport also had those hidden tunnels though which came in very useful for KOS players, geeze remember when you could be KOS to an entire race of a game.
Holyshit. This takes me back.

Play EQ Classic again with Project 1999 (google it), over 1000 players on at peak times.

@MeesterWolf99 No expansions? Not even Kunark and Velious? I only like EQ up to Velious. Beyond that it's not nearly as fun.
mrsparkle001 3 months ago
@mrsparkle001 Kunark released, Velious will be in due course... that's as far as they're going.

I wish I could explain how I feel about this song and EQ in its classic times, but I don't even know where to begin. It's just 100% amazing !
