Holly Windstalker = OH NOT HER. AAAA

When I think about it, this game is still hardmodes to certain people. i.e. newbies in PVP.

Then you must have cleaned out the solo stuff just before I zoned in, selfish asshole. Hell, I remember ^^^ klickniks.

I agree, I still remember being proud of my first gold piece and looking for some "good" treasured gear to buy with it, that I'd have a better chance to survive out in Antonica or Down in the Catacombs. And most of the damn Gnolls in Antonica were agro- linked.

>_< God I hated those damn things, the warriors loved to stun. I also remember all the ^^^ Stags and ^^^ Bears and ^^^ Wolves in Antonica.

Especially the ^^^ Bears in TS that seemed to be behind every corner made life miserable for soloers.

Point being the game used to be a lot harder, and more exciting. And mandatory grouping led to meeting and making friends in game that I still have to this day.

If the game had of been this easy at release I might have soloed my way to 50 and then quit.

I don't miss shared debt though... that sucked dead donkeys.

*EDIT* And Nek Forest is a pale ghost compared to the horror it used to be.

Imagine if there was mandatory grouping in lowbie zones now. The one person on your server that wasn't level 80 would be fucked.

Yeah, I remember those damn uber beetles. I remember alot of solo stuff along the road from Qeynos to the Oracle Tower and in the surrounding Tower Lands. I probably don't has a clear a memroy as I think I have though. I spent most of my initial mid teens-mid 20's in Blackburrow and Stormhold. I remember Stormhold being a clustermurderfuck though.

I kinda miss the "holy shit uncontrolled tidalwave of rampaging undead murder holy fuck there are hundreds of them they're in the walls dammit in the walls!" kind of difficulty as opposed to the "Cure this, click that or fail difficulty".

EQ2 had a bit of this in the beginning, not as much as EQ1, but it was there.

Well not all. A lot of them dropped in from whatever-game though, I pulled one in from EVE and it's tough to keep reminding him that PVP IS NOT EZ-MOAD WHEN YOU'RE NEW YOU'RE FROM EVE YOU SHOULD KNOW THIS YOU BRAT
