7. The release of the 23 quest and the madness that followed.

33. You knew everyone that was your race.  All the races hung out together, I knew all my fellow trolls back then, from the level 1 trolls all the way up to 50 because we all stuck together.  I'm sure it was the same for all races back then, we all xp'd with our respective Races, we used to raid up and down the coast of Grobb on the way up to Haz as 2-3 groups of Trolls.  Yeah, warriors and shamans, woo hoo!

47. No xp caps on PL

48. Getting a hex camp and not leaving for days.

Ah the good ol' days.  Now it seems te game has become more or everpl00b and focused on raiding. Don't get me wrong because I like to raid also but it seem's that the developers are just focusing on and building the game to suit large raid guilds instead of adding new quests and mobs.

I miss those  days, i remember being a level 8 warrior leading a force of Barbarian Warriors, Shamans, and Rogues, to raid some of the higher level mobs by Halas in Snowfist ETC and getting owned lol. Remember first time saw an Agent Suelemin in his all green chain armor go through Freezeblood cave by Halas and kill Goblins one hit i thought he was like the most uber guy on game from that lol.

 

Also remember being about  level 14 running and finally coming upto this  city underground had no idea was Neriak at the time tried run in and the guards owning me, great days back then is  a shame SoE let this game fall so far wish they would of actually supported EQOA.

Thought of 2 more things for this list.

1. Pre-fronts when you saw people running in the distance there knees didnt bend and it looked hilarious (like a Nazi walking).

2.) Being able to hold down R1 and hit auto run and watch your character run off in the distance.

yeah trolls were hilarious when they ran.

Let's see, what else....?

* DM Ambassador getting pulled to the coach and pwning everyone

* The petter glitch where pets would sometimes attack the caster. Funnier still, when pets woudl attack group mates, and no one could con the pet.

* Attackable spiritmasters and coachmen

* low level enches casting glams and getting coaches in opposite aligned cities, signing the spiritmaster (because we were supposed to...), then getting caught in a deathloop when they died and rezzed back to kos guards attacking them

* BSI

* no level/damage mitigation on wizzy nukes

* Spiders by Shon-To

* Falling from the platforms in Teth, thinking I was gonna die

* Jumping off Halas bridge and thinking, ok, now I'm really gonna die

* Not knowing there were lvl 49 merchant spells (you know who you are )

* And if you were on Hod, Jaevin showing up to the daily DFC trains and rooting the trainers

When DM was as popular a meeting place as FP is today. When HP was mostly for level 45+ trading post or to lfg. Back when robes actually looked like a robe including white caster robes. Ahh yes...
