    Everquest Mysteries

    Someone mentioned Kunark release and idiots not knowing they were KOS in places. We (early Triton) had someone with the opposite issue -- he had some bug where he was max faction with everything. He could run anywhere with impunity. We'd use him for corpse runs in Seb since he could run down...

    History of FoH

    Hah I remember that well. After the genesis of Team Ice (Elrood, Rombus and myself). I thought the Stuntazz stuff was hilarious. Who were you, and which Triton guys were you going to fight? That rules. As far as FoH I remember going to the board before Noows and talking about Veeshan's...

    Everquest Mysteries

    I remember you Runnen, of course. Povar for life (Triton is STILL going there almost 18 years later). I owned the raptor island in Timorous after Kunark came out. Quad-kited those things from 52 - 58.

    Check out stuff by Dan Swano. Some of the stuff he's done/is doing should be up your alley. My two favorites of his are Edge of Sanity (of course) and I really like his new band Witherscape (I'm sure Vorph mentioned them somewhere earlier in the thread).

    The new Ensiferum is pretty average in general, but this song RULES.

    Crowfall

    The crafting dev (Tom Blair) that did that interview was one of our officers in Triton (EQ) for years and I passed leadership to him when I retired. Main toon was Bentos The Hero, eventually went to work for SOE and was the GM (Blixtev) that suspended Legacy Of Steel for "exploiting". He's...

    Nevermore is permanently over. Sanctuary was Warrell and Jim's (and Jeff came in at the end) band before breaking up and forming Nevermore. Their two late 80s/early 90s albums were great. I always preferred those to anything Nevermore did. The new reunion one is definitely more akin to...

    Fondest Memory of MMOs

    No we were not like that at all. Furor and Thott used to hang in our officer chat all the time shooting the shit about the game and what sploits were getting used. Tigole was mostly gone by that point. Koryo did once I think around PoP but he seemed like a robot. The competition between our...

    Fondest Memory of MMOs

    One thing that was funny back in the day (at least from my point of view) was when Legacy of Steel got suspended for "exploiting" in Vex Thal. The GM that did it was an officer in our guild (Triton). Just a few of us even knew he was a GM and we never said a word about the LoS thing. I know...

    Triton. I was an officer from early Velious through PoP then took over as guild leader at the beginning of GoD. Did that through 2008 off and on around various retirements. I actually went to the guild summit they had during GoD. Hard to believe that was more than ten years ago now.

    Yeah and when your guild leader is a necro you do that shit over and over (Hi Zaar).

    Three days ahead of you Seventh. Seeing him in Baltimore on Monday with an old high school friend. Almost 30 years as a fan and I will finally get to see him live. So pumped....listened to Fatal Portrait through The Eye today at work.

    Fondest Memory of MMOs

    Getting the first ever Emperor SSRA kill when we were racing with FoH to get it. We (Triton) were doing really well, had him at about 25% or so, tank order going well (this was the death-touching version). I dragged a dead tank out to be ressed, but forgot to change my hotkey page back to my...
