Just as the initial chords of midi sweep out from my speakers a single tear rolls down my cheek...a tear in remembrance of so many adventures, so many friends, and so much mystery. I am saddened for I know these things can never come to be again. No experience will ever be quite the same, nay anywhere near the same. Some may think me strange holding such love for another world in what is "just" a game. Let them. I have experienced Norrath. I will hold those memories forever

Anyone who didn't play EQ before Luclin has no idea what they missed and never will.

Here, it is my once passion.

I was one of the last officers of the legendary guild Forces of light back in 1999 although i was 8 this was one of the most inspiring game i have ever had the honor of playing. my character was of the Dwarves of Kaladim i spent my days battleing evil and having epic adventures with my friends and family. i fought the orcs of crushbone the knolls of splitpaw and the many various evils that were but character had to stop playing on luclin and now in EQ II luclin blew up so ends my Everquest tale

I was an original player of EverQuest.. I played into Kunark. I will never forget those days. I came back almost a decade later to try it again.. It is a different beast. I tried Project 1999, man.. I forgot how hard it is to get around as an erudite SK! LOL. The players there are very helpful though, helped me out. I only lasted a few months though, a long term endeavor in EQ was possible when I was 15.. Harder now that I'm 28. What a game, I hope they hit EQNext with a winner.

@BrutalPics Really now? I played starting with the release of Kunark and I don't remember Luclin changing much. Just the best farming spots, really.

So many memories. Closing my eyes I can see the many splendors and wonders of Norrath. The people I met. Brings a tear to my eye. I'm playing EverQuest 2, but it will never be the same as when I first played EverQuest.

@sadakuno July 1999 to about 2007ish then never turned back because each new expansion got dumber and dumber.

[sadakuno]

@Viktir666 The game does indeed still run, but if you've ever played it in its glory days, before Luclin and the like, you'd find it's an entirely different beast. It's impossible to explain if you weren't so fortunate, so I certainly hope you are!
