Heh, don't get me wrong, Old School EQ was awesome, and my post was not directed at all the posters, I love to hear those old cool stories. I just hate how people say "it was better then and now it sucks."
The other thing I wanted to add is that I don't really think that it is so much the expansion that was so cool, but more the lower levels that were. I remember I started just around Velious, and I was a erudite wizard, Tox forest was so damn cool because it seemed like my little corner of the world I guess. Killing beetles and skunks and kobolds and nuking the guards then running to the zone really quick to see how much life it would take from them, they always resisted and today it is the kind of thing that you can't nuke too hard because you might make them summon, something I had no idea of at the time.
Yeah, Odus was a really cool place to start out... Of course I left at 5 or so, took the boat to qeynos and found someone to port me over to WC for free, and getting sow and running so amazingly fast, and with this amazing advantage, nuking a guard for the fun of it, and running through the land, and all of a sudden a zone!! who knew? Then it was spammy, but the person I knew in RL who started before me gave me badass buffs and I killed stuff so well...
Yeah, heh, it is so weird to look back on it...
