Shaman/Defiler since Nov 16 2004.

Kampfer

Wizard since nov 24th 2004 have not stopped playing, also started paladin march 2005 played to lvl 25 pre-lu13 then leveled to 70 at the end 2006 and first of 2007.

Sildroni

Started a Cleric 3 weeks after the Tribunal went live in EQ1 (Nov '99). Lvl'd her to cap each expansion - raided and did everything up to and including Anguish in Omens of War (trying to forget those days - forgive me if thats wrong).

Started another Cleric/Templar when Mistmoore went live - dinged 50 in Harclaves the night before DoF went live. Did the lvl to 60 and to 70 thing and just got tired of healing. Tried Vanguard as a Disciple, but we know how that turned out...

Fired up an Arasai SK when Neriak went live, now she's ready to ding 71. Gonna move the Templar to a 2nd account for boxing, might betray to Inquisitor, meh - well see.

I suppose SK is a good mix between damage and heals - alot like the Disciple in VG, but much easier to manage (no micromanagement ) Even with the problems the class has with aggro generation and whatnot, I have had lots of fun playing her and devote my time almost exclusively to my new main.

I recall that they nerfed our abilities to stack reactives - that was a major 'nerf' to clerics, changed some spells to a more crowd control type of thing, but really didn't do enough of it - EQ1 clerics had some very effective stuns - EQ2 clerics were always just shadows of that glory. 20 more levels (90 more actually) and 2 major expansions later, I honestly don't remember if it was truely THAT bad, for Clerics anyway.

Lucutious

Guardian since like 2 weeks after launch and I realized I hated playing a healer.

I had four toons at the time, the guardian was the only 50 with relic. Died six times trying to get through the little goblin tunnel in Lavastorm when I logged in after LU13 and didn't bother trying again until LU16.

My troubador was probably even more changed at the time, but I played that in the interim. With mez/charm combined with power and health regens, it was a good solo class, if a bit slow, but when used to a guardian anyway...

Legate

Inquisitor from November 15th 04 till about 3 weeks ago when I betrayed him to Templar (/cry) betraying back soon though.

he's been my main since the beginning, I made one, got him to 50, then realised I hated the NAME!! (LOL) and rerolled as Legate Britannicus in '05. I've had a cleric in eq1 at max level cap since its launch as well.

I played an assassin alt as my raiding main for about 2 months, but ended up returning to Legate.

I played my guardian from day one up to about late spring when i switched to my assassin as the guild needed less tanks and more scouts.

Pre LU13 my main was a pally, made a bruiser shortly after LU13 and a brigand came much later. I haven't logged my original main on in a long time still level 70 with only about 30 AA's and is now a SK
