Fondest Memory of MMOs

that's awesome. Was it much of a cast time?

Probably 10 seconds like most sticks.

IN all, I think the most succesful one was the Cleric. God, kill me if I ever have to go to plane of wastes (wastes? it was where veeshan's peak was) to kill some shit for orbs? again

Veeshan's Peak was in Skyfire Mountains.

The greater heal staff from VP was god mode when it was instaclick.

I've been going back and looking at the atlas of EQ. Man, it gets me right in the feels every time. I swear it makes me want to start playing the game again. Why do modern MMO's suck so bad at creating a world?

And the Triton thing, didn't they get in some pissing match with Furor too?

Always seemed like a bunch of butthurt dudes with Napoleon complex....or at least whoever their GL was. Shit, we had a bunch of dudes who hung out in IRC in #steel from foh who talked about their exploits but nobody cared. Some of that stuff was hilarious tbh.

Who was it in foh who used an iksar monk to put the haste and dispel proc'ing weapons on Cazic to wipe that zerg guild? Best thing that happened on Nameless was some rogue only PvP event organized by this roleplaying rogue. All sorts of prizes and stuff but rogue only. Two of our LoS necros, Ronald and Lofwyr, summoned their rogue necro pets in the arena and killed everyone. I was hunched over in pain laughing at the play by play coming from Lofwyrs broken English. Tigole even named an NPC after Lof in WoW in Dalaran.

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 guilds was generally friendly because we were on different servers. We had ZERO competition on Povar after Harmonium split to Xev. The only guild that was close to as at one point was Rising Ascension, and we convinced them to take the "Seru path" in SoL and we'd take the Emperor path then swap. Of course we had info that told us Seru did not matter. They got so far behind they never recovered and died and their core of good players joined us.

During Vanilla, there was an instant click Complete Heal monk glove. Treant Fists or something. Anyway, only a few of them were ever completed in their unlimited charges form, and those monks went and beat every non DTing raid boss we had. It was pretty special.

EDIT: Found them -Treant Fists :: Items :: EverQuest :: ZAM

Yea, you are thinking of Skyfire. That version of Ragefire in Skyfire was actually the "nerfed" version. Before that, he would pop in Naggy's lair and you had the whole mess of clerics camping Naggy's lair for him.

I walked around with some other skull staff during this time. Forget the name, but it had right click fear on it. All the time people would give me congrats on getting my epic even though it was a totally different item. I know for a really, really long time only one necro on our server had one.

I used one too. Great item for its time.

Ya I dont remember that. I know monks used to be able to wear rubicite in beta.

One of our wizards Tenaj (I <3 you forever) had whatever staff gave the you the click version of the fungi tunic and stacked with fungi tunic + my iksar monk regen. That staff was so godly for PLing.

That was the pre-nerf Fungi Staff. Basically the same version as the Shm / Dru only version, but pre-nerf was castable from inventory by any class. They were very rare and I paid millions of plat for one on my Necro. In fact, I still have it to this day on my AB server Necro account. I was testcopying them over for guildies when I was screwing around on Test server for a while.

The guys I talked to from Triton in random irc channels/botb etc all seemed pretty cool, I just dont remember any other guild leaders/officers being dicks like that trying to get other uber guilds on other servers banned for stuff. We kind of had the idea that, well, fuck Verant/SOE etc because even when we did find things that were legal (ie dictate charming to kill AoW) they got all huffy with us acting like it was some exploit. Sorry we broke your game because you didnt think of how powerful stuff like that was. It was only when it was used outside of xp/loot farming that they took it seriously.

Either way, its always fun to look back on that stuff.

Ah mixed them up; either way that's the place were some 'farming' of the Cleric Epic line was... I was on helping duty every time a cleric needed orbs(?)

That was one of the few things about EQ that I still love, even in retrospect - not retroactively nerfing things. It made for the occasional extremely rare, extremely sought after item.

Yea, I used to collect as much of this stuff as I could. Pre-nerf Circlet of Shadow (insta-cast invis from inventory for Nec / SK) was a huge one too. Before it was nerfed, they went for maybe 2k at best. They cost a small fortune shortly after up until they gave away the same ability with AA.

The one thing I never actually ever saw in person was a Mosscovered Twig.

Holgresh beads for necros was awesome! I could lifetap and get health back when the boss or whatever was Magic immune. Looking at you Emperor.

Speaking of, I felt that their uniqueness was cheapened with the addition of the Casino.

Stuff like Fungi Staff and CoS were never put on there though.

They were awesome for monk pullers also.
