How many Pre-LU13 mains?

Ily · 12-03-2007, 12:02 PM

So, I'm curious how many peeps still play a toon as a main that they played pre-LU13 and whether they have played that same toon for the entire time or on and off.

EQ2 was the first mmo I ever played and Ileanna was the first toon I made the day I installed it back in February 2005. I have played her the entire time with a few under 40 alts along the way and a few crafters also around 40.
I've seen and raided through the highs and the lows of Rangerdom. =)
I did spend 2 or 3 weeks playing a guild alt Brig because Kazora had a hard on for multiple brigs in raid, but yeah, not really worth mentioning and i pretty much sucked at it lol.

I played this toon pre-13 and it was off and on for me. Other classes I have leveled up and raided with are a Paladin and a Ranger.

Came over from EQ1 the last few days of Jan. 05 and made a bunch of toons on the island to see what I liked...made the pally on Feb 4th and been playing him ever since. There been times when I wanted to drop kick the pally class but Im glad I stuck with it for so long.

Yeah, I'm guessing there are a few of them, though I went from one gimp class post lu13 (was Troub from launch) to another (Main is 73 Monk) I have since rolled a Trouby again but he's hanging out in the dreaded 30's and with RoK I've had little gumption to get him out (he's on a 2nd account for duo-ing but so's my 54 Warden) I will say that even in a duo with a monk his buffs rule and I'm kinda sad that I fell apart right after LU13 and re rolled him. I shoulda kept him but my playstyle was very casual and he was a bitch to solo with really.

Karel is the only character I've ever played. I've never *ever* rolled an alt, I've been playing my assassin since Dec 25 2k4. I've been to hell and beyond with it..including the grim days of T6~.

Been playing my swashy since the hour servers went up (ok sure i was a rogue for a few hours or so). I just loved the idea of being a pirate and could never give that up for any class, my next highest is a 59 defiler that i started a couple days after my swashy .

Main is wizard created prior to launch with the character creation preorder disk, and played since Day 1.

my answer to your question is complex.

i had a character before LU13 and then continued to play the character of the same name after the changes. however, to say that it was the same character before and after doesn't do justice to the way his class was ravaged. i didn't recognize any of my abilities when i logged in after the changes. i had to learn a new class.

essentially, i quit playing my original character and started playing a new one, even though they both had the same name, appearance, and overall role.

of course, after the changes, my interest in the character waned, i picked up an alt and ran. later another alt got his time in the sun and has been running the show since. throughout there, i picked back up my original once or twice because i missed it, but it wasn't the same.

i do still miss my original character, who died with LU13 and was replaced with a cruel mockery of his former self.

i played a templar but as soon as betrayal came out i was an inquis and then i raided as a zerker and also had a 70 dirge alt

I was adamant that I'd never create an alt until about 8 months in when I had to camp a raid zone overnight. Main is still the same subclass.
