That was the original tutorial that shipped with the game as a separate .exe in 1999. Did none of you do it?

Man, the worst was when I accidentally did this to the guy on the docks in butcherblock. No close zone from there so it was a long ass run.
Does anyone remember the Freeport beggar who produced some faint speech? I don't remember what he said but it was kind of creepy.

I remember farming Cuburt in the Qeynos catacombs. You would be sitting there waiting for the spawn, and then get the eerie feeling like you were being watched. You turn around and BAM a beggar right in your face, saying "might i have a copper please?"
You would only hear what he said if you had a pimped out sound card at the time. On-board sound cards didn't pick up a lot of EQ sound files.

I believe this guy spawned in The Seafairer's Roost occasionally. I used to camp the bards in there on my mid level characters and I'd see the beggar now and then. I believe what he said was "Might I have a copper, please?" or something along those lines. The first time I heard the audio it scared the shit out of me, and it took me a while to realize it was him saying it.
I didn't realize there was one in Qeynos, too.
Was not a happy fun time for me to come back to that when I attempted to come back to Eq several months ago.
Let me tell you... I am a proper lady and I was like:"SoE, gimme back mah money you cuntz!"
It was dark, boring and outdated.
Just like anything that was once nearly almost very good -- not perfect -- it needs to get greased up again!
Not Eq-Next though. That's gonna be a hot mess, I am almost sure of it.

I still have the original tutorial that came with my Kunark disk. I wonder if I could install it, and run the tutorial without running the patcher.
There was a way you could hack the tutorial to load any of the regular zones instead of that tutorial one. None of the NPCs or objects were there, but you could walk around and explore. I forget how to do it, but you did something to change the filename of the zone it loaded.
I started to read this and was disappointed that I never knew about the tutorial, after seeing the start of the video I actually remembered doing it long ago before creating my first character. I definitely forgot all about it
