10th Year Anniversary memoriesFollow

Grats Alla on the 10th anniversary.

I remember exactly the first time I looked at your site (aren't I sad!!!) I started playing in 2000 just before Kunark was released. My druid, Renaissance, on Zek was around lvl 15 when I was given by Glazed an 'Evil Eye Lens' and told it was used in a great druid quest, but he did not know exactly what quest. I did a web search and came across your site and it helped me to obtain my very first quested item from a loot (which was not my guildmaster's armor quests). I was truly proud of my staff, at the time it was a great item, and rare as the lens did not drop a lot (have never seen it drop myself and spend a considerable time in RE).

Since then weapons have come and gone but I still have my staff of the observers in the bank, sans charges but I just cannot throw it away.

So who else can remember when they came across this site for the first time? Anyone been around that long, and still here?

I had been playing EQ for two days, and was still being absolutely blown away.

I asked a guy I was grouped with for the second time now, how he knew all of the things he was telling us. He pointed me to Alla's, and continued trying to explaining to the group what jobs we should have been doing while we were getting our corpses.

We finished getting our corpses, and when we attacked the throne room in Crushbone for the second time, things went much better, and we held the camp for the next few hours. He quit playing shortly after that, but I still have his email address, and will never forget that experience. I remember thinking he must work for Verant.

Man it has been a long time, but I remember looking up a quest in Akanon for a 1hb weapon, I wanna say it was 6/20. Bullsmasher I believe it was. But you could do the quest fairly quickly and sell them good in the East commons tunnel. I remember it being a nightmare trying to figure it out until a friend suggested Allakhazam. Ever since then they have been on my friends list and that has been a LONG time ago.

Having started a mage first I was directed to castersrealm as my first site.
I then saw Allakhazam by a link from eqatlas and turned to it more and more. I still have about 4 notebook binders of quests and lore that I downloaded so I didn't have to tab out of game.

From the first day I played EQ, I was fully informed about Alla's and EQAtlas and searching for all the little trinkets of info that were spread all over the web.

I am thankful for all the hard work and effort put forth, both by the players and the site owners, to provide such places for everyone to enjoy.

10 Years of heartfelt Thanks!
