Only story I have that's likely worth telling was for my cleric epic. I think I was somewhere around tenth on the server to get mine, maybe a bit higher up on the list. At the time I was in a mid-range guild on Druzzil Ro called Coven Nex, there was 3-4 other guilds significantly higher up the food chain than us. I don't recall the exact details, but I think by that time there was also an inter-guild communication board, rotation lists, and that sort of shit. But obviously cleric epics were still a pretty big deal, given that the spawn trigger was Nagafen and there was so many guilds capable of taking him down. Either way, some guild had killed him, it was my turn in the rotation and I had been camping for Zordak to spawn for a long time. I don't remember the exact details/mechanics of how the quest worked, but either way, I got sick and tired of sitting around waiting, thinking it was bugged or some shit. So I quit for the night. Maybe I had some RL shit to do, I don't know.
So I'm doing whatever at home, and the phone rings. I hear my mom answer, ask a couple questions in a really confused tone, and then she says "oh hey *Eomer*, there's someone on the phone from Michigan. Something about a dragon?" I get on the phone and sure enough it's one of my guild mates who had called pretty much every house with my last name in the city (not that many, but 10 numbers anyways) looking for me. Zordak had spawned!
I didn't have any connections between by EQ life and my offline life, really. A couple people knew my name, but I'm not even sure if they knew my full name or what. I don't remember the exact explanation of how they were able to track me down, but it was kind of funny nonetheless. Man I was thrilled to get my epic, that shit was so dope at the time.
