When did you start playing? (sh.itjust.works)

I started playing with some friends during the beta test. We were all gnomes so we would have the same starting city. I played a rogue. If I recall correctly, the others were magician and cleric.

I played EQ when it went live, and played until Gates of Discord. Since then I seem to have a cycle of playing for 1-2 years before taking 1-2 years off. EverQuest is the game I always end up returning to, though.

Started in the beta testing like you. Was crazy laggy and I remember running a direction, the whole world shifting around and bugging out, then shifting back. Often falling through the world and having GMs rescue my corpse as it was literally below the world.

PvP servers, standard servers.

The brutality if dieing and losing literally everything. The complete lack of directions (aside from that super basic tutorial).

Good times.

I stopped in early 2004. Might re-join again just to look around. Though it looks like I might have to check out project 1999 for the nostalgia and daybreak for the current happenings and content.
