Fondest MemoryFollow

The other day I was meandering around on my monk when I came upon a quest. I've been doing a lot of them lately, so I couldnt even tell you which one it was, but at one point one of the choices of things I could say made me chuckle. It wasn't anything big but it reminded me of what is still my fondest memory of the game so far...

Last year I was in TT and I came across a high priest, I believe of Thule, but Im not 100%. All I remember was that he was BIG and RED, but not KOS. So being the curious monkey that I am, I went over and hailed him. He said he was recruiting for his God and did I have what it took to be a disciple. Up popped the choices I could pick. One was the obvious "Yes master I would do anyyythiiing" *drool and fawn*. One was the standard "Hell no! I'm a goody two shoes and I only worship flowers and rainbows!!!" But the middle choice, I had to click. There was no if's and's or buts. I had no choice. For the middle option said something along the lines of "Maybe. I can slaughter some cows and chickens for sacrifice."

Of course that was not the fawning answer he was looking for and a nano-second after I clicked that option I was dead. I dont even think the priest moved, he killed me so fast. And I sat there at my computer and roared with laughter for a good 15 minutes. After which it took me about 2 more hours to stop giggling every few minutes.

Ahhh good times. Whats your fondest memory?

My fondest memory was way back in the day when I was still in Drow. We had been doing Spirits of the Lost for weeks trying to kill Venekor and it finally happened one night. Our Ventrilo server was full guild mates screaming and yelling due to our accomplishment. It was the closest the game ever came to EQlive raiding for me. Good times!

Sad to say I cant think of the fonest memory Ive got of EQ2 because it just doesnt seem to be as epic as EverQuest 1. I enjoy playing the game, and its fun to raid, but no matter what I do to try and improve my overall pleasure within the game, it still deosnt match up to how I felt when my EQ1 raiding guild took down "The Rathe" for the very first time to get our Plane of Time Access durring the Planes of Power Expansion. That was a crazy encounter.

Sadly, EQ2 lacks strategic fights, and normally relies on DPS along to kill most/all mobs.

your got the mobs with adds. Youve got the mobs with timed AE's or/and adds. And youve got the mobs with %life AE's/adds.

Insted of making the raiding fun, they have made it less fun by causing crazy cure spamers out of our healers, raid DPS required to be above 25k to clean zones now.

I know im drifting off the topic of fondest memories, but really, out of the many happy memory Ive got in EQ2, Id say when I dinged level 30 on my SK before they nerfed the level 30 defensive stance that gave a skele illusion form, that was the best. It didnt matter that I couldnt ride a mount, I was a skele!

You know, it's as others have said EQ2 is great fun but nothing really rocked my world like UO (first ever experience being ganked - then later returning the favor :0 ) or EQ1 (guild raids starting with Kurnak). However, having said that, environmentals - stage and setting, sounds and music, are just phenominal. I'm continually amazed how 'right' they've done that. ((well, ok up until the threat music came along ...shesh... lets go back to the drawing board: again! ))

LOL! You should check out my crib now. I moved in to a swanky 3 room place in Maj Dul. Rooms are huge, and it just screams for skimpy, gauzy clothing to be worn.

Are you serious? You're coming back to play??? I know we have a 3 hour time difference, but if you have any serious intentions of checking this out again, let me know. The cool thing about EQ2 is their mentoring system. I can mentor down to your level and play. And if you start to find yourself really enjoying it, and wish to see the end game in the future, I can chat with my guildies and see if you can join.
