Scariest momentFollow

Damn, you're right. That's the winner.

And as if that wasn't bad enough, you make it to this "Rivervale" town and all you find is a bunch of creepy looking short people with hairy feet.

FV to LoIo runs as a lvl 20 beats any MMO experiance down for me.

Meh, you could hug the left Wall in Kith if you had a bit about you; in FV nothing not even Invis was 100% sure of making it.

Ok how about this....

Fighting up to the 3+ floor of ToFS and hoping you dont die because you didnt have a rezzer?

Falling into the Hole....

Talk dirty some more

Just had an Add to OT ramp and hear "Goon to Ramp!"

My first character was deleted after attempting his first transcontinental journey from Qeynos to Freeport at level 10. I managed to dodge griffons and hill giants while navigating the Karanas. I avoided gnolls and orcs while wandering for hours in Highpass, and then I hit Kithicor in the middle of the night, clueless as to the evils that were ahead.

That poor toon had even struggled to buy a sewing kit to fashion his own armor from the scraps of rats and bears, only to find out that he didn't need a "small" sewing kit, he needed a regular one. I combined all my materials before I tried on any of the gear I made, and then I discovered that I couldn't wear any of it.

Talk about working for it. I loved it, though.

Hah. The most pulsepounding experience in EQ had to be my very first Fear raid. It was waaaaay back in the day and for some reason I still don't understand (something to do with more roamers near west wall at the time), the raid leader decided to do a north wall break. Realize that this was my first ever planar raid. I didn't know where I was going or why, but I ran to the north wall keeping the big wall'o'fire to my right. Somehow I managed to actually make it and /camp. Still don't know why. I could actually see mobs running around from place to place tearing people to bits. That was "scary". Very very scary...

Naggy raids were cake in comparison. Actually, the most stressful single raid opponent I ever fought was aardarsomething in NToV. Just in terms of duration of fight. I never actually did the highest end Velious/Luclin content, so that was about the longest I ever did. Later expansion raids were usually about dealing with programmed adds and whatnot during the fight, but the fights themselves were typically not that long. I just remember spending *forever* to defeat that sucker. Got him on the first attempt though, so that was good.

/agree on the FV->LoIO run. The spiders had big agro ranges, half of them could see through invis, they were often "hidden" in the little nooks and crannies of the terrain, they ran super fast (sow speed) and could root. Oh. And they were level 30ish smack between where you landed when arriving in Kunark and the major zone for levels 10-20. Go figure!

Also /agree on the "falling in befallen". I did that at like level 17. I remember spending a ridiculously long time trying to get sufficient help to recover my corpse. Long enough where I was actually starting to worry about corpse rot. That was "not fun". Afterall, I had all my incredibly groovy leather and bronze stuff! And a mino axe!!!


Heh. I've really got to say that in terms of "scary" EQ still has every other game beat hands down. In single player games you can always reload, and very few mmorpgs have/had the "cost" to dying that EQ had. So when you got that sick feeling in your stomach when everything went to heck, huge train, mobs agroed from the wrong areas, the bard saying "let me try this new song..." you *knew* it was bad. Very very bad...

Real Life: Me and about 10 friends decided to go across the street to Blockbuster to get a movie. On our way there, my friend Andy was wearing a Compton hat, and just as we were about to get in the parking lot these African-American fellows yelled "F*** COMPTON N****" and many other obscenities. So we got the movie and on our way back, we are crossing the street and there is a jeep coming so someone yells " RUN" so we all start hauling ***. My friend Andy just dead stopped and everyone else kept running. Needless to say i hit him and fell. The jeep didnt even hesitate and i rolled out of the way with seconds left. I didnt tell my parents Lol.





EQ: It would have to be the time when i had my first character Mulania in GFAY. I heard the best training spot at the time was the EC orc huts. So i shout " Any Ports to WC?" I get a tell immediately and am on my way. I get ported and within LITERALLY seconds... im dead. I cried so hard at the age of 8. I never got that corpse back. just a naked Wood Elf occupying space.
