Spent the entire weekend harvesting, questing & leveling in T-Steppes and it gave me a warm fuzzy feeling when I reached the open plains area near the "Ruins Of Karana" where the Highland Lions frolic.

I can remember back to EQ live when I would camp those same Highland Lions for the HQ pelts used to make the beautiful quiver that was so highly sought after by rangers. Back in the day I made a fortune from the sale of those quivers, month in and month out (providing of course that the RNG was kind and I was able to get the pelts to drop!).

Good times!

WISPS!!! I remember killing them by the thousands in the commonlands...

Was running through the Spider Tunnel to Permafrost the other night thinking I should stop and collect those spider silks! Started wishing for a sewing kit ))

I remember making App II, III, and IV spells just to see what my pet would look like before finally but the Adept or A3. Dunno when they took out App IIs and IIIs but that's how it was when I played years ago.

I have Sparkling/Glowing/Scintillating etc Flowers sitting in my bank.

Wow, yes I remember camping highland lions. Isn't it amazing what we now look fondly back upon from EQI? Even getting killed in East Commonlands tunnel because 'somebody' just had to train Sgt. Slate through to see the ensuing chaos he would then cause to any player of evil alignment...

Revenge my friends was indeed sweet however if you were a Necromancer or a Mage and killed him several times over for that first offense.

I could never figure out why all the high elves, and humans hated me..... Perhaps because of my evil dark elf penchant for killing their guards for money? muahaha!

The Griffons in EC always gave me the creeps. Maybe it was because I was running around playing a teen toon and they were what... like level 35? One time, I spent an hour or so with my ranger, sitting on a little hillside all camo-ed up and invisible, just watching them path and looking for a safe spot that I could pull to. I finally realized there was no safe place... nowhere I could hunt around there that they didn't go. It was disappointing but it encouraged me to keep my eyes up and my ears open (Gawd, I can still hear the beat of their wings!)

OH that named griff was the BANE of many a group back then.

Some people even swore it was out to get them because they always ran into it atleast once a day.

I remember when that grif used to need a full group to kill it ;/

Same with Paddlefoot the beaver in Nek Forest, used to be triple up.

I remember those huts! I think I used to pass by them every time I trained a buttload of orcs to the zone line!!!
