Everquest Mysteries

The Rathe Had bazaar high end seller. Cheezetwo, from the rumor he was the richest toon on the server, the top guilds would sell off items to him to split the plat in the guilds, etc. Didnt know much about it till a friend in one of those guilds was talking about it briefly. Would like to know more about it honestly. You could shop the high end stuff from him if you had the coin.

did everyone have a cleric and ranger romance that caused guild drama too? i swear, i was in 3 guilds during my time and it happened in all 3, one of them it happened twice.

The manipulative slutty bitch archetype gravitated towards cleric/druid while the freaky fetish ones played rogues in my experience. That continued into future games as well until the kiddy casual era began.

we had some of those too. but for some reason the clerics always found our damned rangers irresistible. we had one pairing where the woman (i assume it was a woman) was at least in her 40s and the ranger was some kid who may or may not have been 18. after a while we decided to just not bother recruiting them anymore. was sad because during velius when we still had rangers we couldnt have beaten ventani without them. we had one dude who was a master fletcher and we spent a shitload of resources getting all our archers those crazy ass long range arrows.

Whenever you met a Female Wood Elf Druid you waited to see RP Emotes attached to their heals. If they appeared, then the player would just be annoying; if they did not, the players tended to be conniving assholes.

Halfling Druids tended to be pretty chill/confused that someone was actually talking to them and they weren't just quadding somewhere in solitude.

You know what was fun? Doing seb and trying to posistion myself and hide from the enchanter because my fayguard parrying dagger (ranger dagger with an AOE proc) would go off and break mez. Good times. Took several trips before he realised it was me and not some tank lol.

But now that you mention the ranger thing. Another ranger in our guild owned a business in Atlanta and some healer type that raided with us and him got going heavy in game for a while and he wound up leaving his wife. I guess shit like that happnes now but was a real eye opener to me.

We didn't use teamspeak or whatever. I was kind of suprised it was an actual woman. I got a kick out of all the 15 year old tards that hit on wood elf druids like they might get laid and you know it was some couch potato guy.

I picked the best time to get into EQ. I was working at Exxon and I didn't do shit. I worked the night shift on an extended turn around on contract. Got my own office and Exxon had a pretty good internet connection. I was paid to just sit there "just in case" something happened. The engineer on standby slept all the time, I played EQ. For 6 months I maybe did 1 day of work. But she I was OLD for EQ. I didn't start till I was 30 and got into it right before Kunark came out.

Religious gear was probably the saltiest thing about EQ I have to say. Why even allow the worship of Mithaniel or Erollisi as an option to High Elves WHEN NOTHING EXISTED FOR THEM (for a long time; even then, it was heavily skewed stat wise). It was racism AND classism, I tell you.

I can't remember which tradeskill (besides Research) got the shaft the most, though. I just vaguely remember one of them getting a lot of 'unsupported' bitching throughout the Kunark-Velious era.

Super friendly Druid on my server randomly came by and buffed me when I first started playing right before kunark. Jumped a buncha levels thanks to his damage shield. Think his name was Searyx or something like that

Those weren't shit compared to Raster of Guk.

Fuck that guy. I think I camped him non-stop for something close to 40 hours.

Pyzin I got to spawn in like 30 minutes once.

Raster, ugh. TRIGGERED!

For monk, it was really back and forth. Iksar had higher AC, but humans had better fists (lower delay I think)

Click to expand...

Yeah human fists had 1 better delay or something. Maybe 1 more dmg and 2 better delay even.
Once you equipped a weapon, it no longer mattered.
Iksar had AC bonus and regen.
Sorn of <Paradigm> (human monk) on Solusek Ro rerolled to Sssorn (iksar monk) when Kunark hit. Madness, leaving a max level raid equipped char behind and start over! I was lvl 15 at the time and never even considered leaving all that invested time behind.

Oh man I was so silly.

Yeah we did. Maybe it wasn't so silly to stay human.

bumpage.
anyone have a boogeyman on your server? somebody that was always known for ninjalooting or training others just for the lulz?

Click to expand...

Not ninjalooting and being a dick per se, but we had Albertasx, spanish player, who had a corpse in literally every zone.

Searyx, Master of Mistmoore.

I loved all the mysteries and undiscovered stuff in EQ. Really a new world to explore. Kedge Keep gave me the creeps until I had enduring breath on an item. Turning a corner in a dungeon and not knowing what to expect. Being able to fall off bridges, no invisible walls to hold your hand. Corpse runs to Sssraeshza Temple with no EB ... you needed SoW or Run3 AA, or better yet, EB AA. Even then the golems would sometimes wreck your shit.


Ah, nostalgia.

I remember Drinsic and some Cleric bitch in Fiends supposedly having some sort of EQ romance. Not sure if it was true. Was it true, Drinsic?!

is there a zone from original EQ that you never visited even though you played it from launch? im pretty sure i have been to every one, but some i only been to once or twice. i think i visited grobb just one time for a quest. ditto felwithe

Qeynos Catacombs. Not sure I ever went there in my original EQ-playing days.

Actually, the entire west half of Antonica was hot garbage. Freeport4lyfe!

Had a ranger / druid romance that caused drama, the clerics didn't need romance to cause all kinds of drama for themselves. Later turned into an enchanter / druid romance after the ranger in question somehow got into WoW's closed beta. (PS I was probably that ranger. Probably.)

I like the stereotype deep dive.

• Bards- Caffeine, cocaine, gona train his own group. But, that's ok, everyone loves them. More than likely, a Euro.
  
• Beastlords- These are the rangers of the pet classes. They know they suck, but it is everyone else's burden to prop them up, get them loots, and deal with their minor contribution. They are probably bleeding heart liberals.
  
• Clerics- Diva's, celebrities. Good/bad, asshole/nice guy... it didn't matter. Everyone would bend over backwards to get a cleric and suck their dick to keep them. The clerics knew this and milked it for all it was worth.
  
• Druids- Played by people most likely to mysteriously /exit when you need them. Then, come back the next day and say "oh, bad storm, my power died..." Yeah right, you little shit.
  
• Enchanters- Narcissists. They are literally the best and everyone else sucks balls. "You break mez again and I am never giving you clarity, ever."
  
• Necromancer- The best player you know. Coolest mother fucker, never gets rattled.
  
• Mages- Fucking wierdos. Probably stoned out of their mind. Totally over powered and never seemed to realize it. Always over nuke, draw agro, die, never learn.
  
• Monks- Wild man, dies a lot doesn't care. Curious, brash, inquisitive. Good natured most of the time, can get triggered and be an asshole.
  
• Paladin- Probably a role-playing derp herder. Nice person, terrible player. Really fucking slow. Cleric screams for 30 seconds and the enchanter is already dead before he realizes there are 4 mobs in the camp and not just the 1 he is beating on.
  
• Rangers, any race- Lazy, don't care if they sucked and contributed mostly nothing to the group. Drizt fangays. Constantly nagging for buffs, because they have deep seeded-inadequacies issues.
• Rogue- Probably a great guy, always willing to put himself in harms way to drag your corpse. Gona pickpocket all the groups mobs and say "/shrug I guess mobs in this zone have shit for loot." Also the guy most like to never miss a raid for 6 months straight, then go MIA with no word for two months. Then come back and be like "what?"
• Shadow Knight- Quiet, a bit of a loaner. Better in groups than raids. Always pimped out in the top tier shit. Ballin, shot-callin.
• Shamans- Awesome people, always willing to help. People please'rs.
• Warrior- Probably the alpha internet tough guy. Probably the one most likely to stir up shit on the message boards and live in his mom's basement.
• Wizards- Probably going to roleplay and be an uppity cunt. Or be silent and you don't even know they are there most of the time. Is he afk or just medding?

• Barbarian- These people like to drink a lot. Depending on the time of the day, they might be responsible enough to leave your kid with or they might be a raging lunatic that pulls 3 sand giants onto your Oasis group... and they will probably pass out at their keyboard waiting for a rez.
  
• Dark Elf- Probably a good player, and an evil motherfucker irl. Probably has a criminal record. When he quits or gets removed from the guild, he is taking mother fuckers down with him.
  
• Dwarf- Probably an old man that like hanging out with the kids, not in a creepy way. A little slow, but reliable, solid, and everyone loves them.
  
• Half-Elf- The chosen race of transgendered people. Girls that loathed their bewbs and bros that lopped off the carrot and pills. If they had gender identity issues, they played Half-Elf.
  
• Erudite- This guy is a bit strange, he definitely went hard core on D&D back in the day. He is getting a bit long in the tooth, starting to bald, but insists on having long death-metal hair of his youth and looks a complete mess. He has more than 1 tattoo. He is a hell of a player, but prone to getting triggered.
  
• Halflings- Probably Canadian or Euro. Always in a good mood, fun to be around. Not always the best players.
  
• High Elf Female- 45 year old, 400 lbs, terrible mother. Honey boo boo's mom that tells everyone she is Paris Hilton.
  
• High Elf Male- Probably an officer in your guild and probably an asshole. Probably Asian.
• Human- Mentally handicapped, afraid of the world, never want to push deeper into the dungeon because they might lose their corpse. In chat, they are dull and boorish.
• Iksar- These are the little brothers of the power gamers. They got a late start because the family only had 1 computer and 1 internet connection. lil bro finally whined so much that mom bought him his own computer. He plays fine most of the time, but is prone to panic and be selfish. He is quiet most of the time, but says way too much other times and can be annoying af. Sometimes he role plays, sometimes he is just talking like normal. Pretty much, he is just a dumb fuckin kid.
  
• Gnome- Probably the coolest and funniest person in the guild or possibly a boxed bot... your not sure.
• Trolls & Ogres- Power gamers, good bros. If they are your friends, they are great. If they don't know you, fucking watch out. Probably going to train you. Good natured, the people everyone wants to hang with.
• Vah Shir- These people are definitely real-life girls that play male characters. They are waaaaay too into their 6 cats, 2 snakes, 4 cockatoos, and 3 fish tanks.
• Wood Elf female- Actual females playing female Wood-elfs did not exists. Ever. Not once. Definitely a mangina that is going to steal your shit. Will loot every body before it hits the ground, then after 8 hours will do /split 100 with the group and pocket 2k pp. They will cyber your guild leader to make sure they are at the top of the class list to be deck out in the new shit first. Nerds fall for it every-time.
• Wood Elf male- A beta-cuck that had to be Wood Elf to group with his friends on Faydwer.

yeah shaman are basically built to please. if we didnt do our buff/debuff magic we would just be druids that cant snare and port.
