EQ achievement 2006Follow

wow....all of 2006...

i have been in the same guild, Grey Horizon, on E'ci...now tunare server.
last year at this time i think we had just broken into tacvi in january.

Now we destroy all of CoA, all the DoN dragons, and we have broken into the demi-plane of blood in the DoD expansion.

My hps have gone from probably about 10k unbuffed to 12.6k unbuffed

Double exp days have made my aa's go from the high 200's to 666 :)

I have pics of me and a guild group destroying all of fire for hours and hours...haha it was so much fun, GH were the only ppl in castle 2 and we had groups there for all of the dbl exp days.

2006

I left Christmas of 2005 and came back sept of 2006

the little time I have been back, I have made **** tons of new friends that I would never want to get rid of

and re-met a lot of old friends

We have had a lot of 1.5's finished, and began our trip to plane of time!

Casual raiding and raid not required and family style guild i have been in for 1.5 years.

We broke into time the old fashioned way, by succeeding on all four elementals, making all the keys we needed after dozens of attempts. On the first trip to Time we got to Quarm and killed him on our FIRST TRY.

Before that, GL was working on being able to request ikky trials and we have been successful on the first 2 so far on the first attempt.

Got access to ToB for a large number of guildies and have been farming that for equipment, and that has helped us.

Succeded on second attempt on an MPG Raid (for some reason now in the guild Signet groups are all the rage after that)

Also, by researching what to hunt and where to go to farm it, the two of us have our 3 mains in the top 100 of the server for their respective classes.

You do not have to be in a high end raiding guild to have good gear, just selective farming, and the DoD missions and Don crystals helped that.

Oh, we hit the top 100 before we broke into ToB.

i "quit", gave away everything (over 1mill pp, 2 manastones,ect). gave account to good trusted friend. came back.. asked "friends" i had given pp to if they would plz help me get back to where i could at least afford new spells. found out that way who my REAL friends were.
switched guild. old guild leader was (still is) an asshat.
new guild great !! and lot of x-guildies also in it..
for me a guild is a place for friends. and the leader is one who lead by example. x-leader could learn something )

least but not last i finally made my artisan charm !!
and while bf was not home i made hes too =) LOVE HIM!!
also found him on eq btw.. not in 2006 though,but still../smile

and anguish!

Lets see, What has 2006 brought me in EQ?

At the start of the year, our Guild had just broken into Time so we spent several months farming there, then got KT flags, Qvic flags, Txevu flags, and farmed all those places too. I Got ToB and DsK flags, completed all the DoD spell quest lines and more. We also worked up through tier 4 DoN, and 4/6 of the MPG raid trials and some misc stuff in our spare time. And we don't consider ourselves a raiding guild! More of a casual guild that raids. In other words, every single piece of gear I owned in '05 has been replaced at least once, taking me from about 10KHP/2000AC to 14KHP/2600AC and I dont know how many AAs...200-300 for the year? My mana regeneration has gone from about 15 to 32 standing, and my DPS has easily doubled if not more. Also got my 1.5 done.
2006 also brought a lot of good people into the Guild, due to a good screening process and a shrewd lack of advertising.
Last year my Alt/former main SHM got his own account and transfered over, officially putting me in the botter category, he's been quite happy equipping leftovers but is still pretty squishy. His major accomplishments were maxxing Alchemy 300 with alchemy mastery 3 and salvage 3, also finishing new GM trophies for Alchemy and Blacksmithing (260).

2006 was one of my most wishy washy years of EQ. I found myself moving from one raid guild to an even bigger one which in turn yielded my 2.0, CoA flag, Txevu, DS, etc. Then leaving due to lack of play time to join an alt guild I made with some friends during the "great sony server merger". 2006 also showed me how quickly your friends and family will stop playing EQ and leave you all alone *shakes fist* But sadly the last quarter of 2006 found me ping ponging between urges to play. What little time I DID play in the last months of 06 I would end up staring at the screen going "what should I do" and end up /camp desktop to play AA because it at least was easy to figure out what I wanted to do on.

I've seen 7 years of EverQuest and while I HAVE had a limited number of 1 monthish breaks I have not once lost the bug as I have now. HELP! I truly hate it. Even now I sit here thinking that I want to play but what will I do when I log on?

Let's see, from February to when I stopped playing (late November) I got my bard from lvl 1 to 75, 12.5k hp and 2400 ac buffed and got his 1.5 epic. Started a druid, got her to 73, then changed to a cleric and got him to 71. Bard has nearly 900 aa's, druid 400, and cleric just over 100. Now, I'm not bragging, but I'm pointing out the fact of how much I lack a life and played almost religiously daily. I managed to join a guild that raids frequently. I quit just before they flagged for anguish. Was on test server, and was the first guild on that server to do it. I made a lot of great friends and a lot of good times. Overall was a great year, sadly I just don't have the time to play as much as I used to. Good luck to you all in 2007

That's where I was, and then WoW dropped to $20. I don't know if I'll be back to EQ...

came back to the game and my only character after about 6 years off.

my char, and ENC was level 20 in September. after totally relearning the game and catching up on most of the expansions, she is level 40 and i'm having a great time finding and exploring all the changes in the game since i left.

My guild broke into PoTime in early 2006, which was both good and bad.
Good in that we got lots of goodies and we are almost done with farming PoTime now, but bad in that the guild stopped doing PoP flag raids before I got the REAL PoTime flag, and now nobody is the slightest bit interested in doing PoP flag raids, because they are such a PITA to repeat them over and over again to get everyone the flags they are missing, and because everyone is fixated on more recent expansions, especially SS. So I am now doubtful that I'll ever get the REAL PoTime flag, which is a depressing thought. I can't get groups to help me finish up my Vex Thal key or max out my LDoN adventure stone either, which is doubly depressing.

EQ as a game is awesome, but it sucks when most of the people playing it are so self-absorbed and greedy that they don't want to help anyone else get the things they already have.

The guild also broke into Qvic, most people are into Tier 4 DoN, most people have their Epic 1.5, and we recently succeeded our first MPG trial. So the upper-end GoD stuff and Anguish will be on the menu sometime in 2007.

For me personally, I got to level 70, with 400 AA's (I don't have SS yet). I led some successful raids. I got all my OoW spells except the Ancient one. Got Tier 3 DoN completed. Got Qvic access. Got all my signets for Anguish access. Got a 25% pet focus item for my warder. Didn't manage to get the 68 DoD spell arc finished, still missing 68.3.

I'm beginning to get discouraged, not with the game itself, but with the people playing it. Nobody will help do things that are not in the latest and greatest expansion with the best experience. If I can't get certain things done on my main, how can I ever hope to get stuff done on my alts?
