gravity flux is brutal, but you can at least see the goddamned screen while its happening, then you get that satisfying bone crunch noise when people fall back down. that blind spell was even on noob mobs. muddites or those eye things in the king xxorb zone could cast it i think. wtf?

it always surprises you, even after years of playing, all of a sudden black screen, uh oh. time for a new monitor.it went away though after i installed eq windows and i could at least see the borders and flip to irc if i wanted. EQW was the devil for raids. i would sometimes be in an eq raid and mining gold in wow beta at the same time.

Thinking of this today while I built a new computer. One of the things I enjoyed in EQ was if you were camping a mob you could see if the mob had X item because they would equip it such as weapons and I think some of them would proc, I could be wrong but I remember trying to get a lupine dagger and the guy would proc into a wolf and you knew he had it.
Yeah, when I was camping that fucking halfling mask for 2 weeks, I was always excited to see Overseer Dal'guur not have his dagger because maybe, just maybe, that prick had the mask. Nope, another iksar hide cloak.

When I started up on Phinny, exactly this sort of thing happened. I was able to run around Guk/SolB etc from memory. Eventually downloaded some maps, but the memories were strong.

I could probably do the named cycle in frontier mountains in Kunark still, each corner of the map had a named you had to kill off all the stuff on the rotation to get stuff to spawn. Track was pretty handy.
Doing reavers in city of mist was entertaining as well.

Yep, EQEmu's proved that I can.
I feel like I spent more time in SolB though, but that place is a maze now.

Zones like guk and sol b were really really easy to learn when every single mob was camped and you could run through the whole zone to learn it. I never learned lower guk well cuz upper guk was a goddamned maze and i alway got lost. Last time i was there was the weekend before guise of deceivers stopped dropping. Got the last one and never went back.

I had a pre-nerf guise on my twink warrior. He also had Drelzna dropped JBoots. I remember leveling up as a wizard, when they introduced the crafted armor I was able to solo all of it. So I made a warrior and gave it to him. That's why I had to further the twinking even more with jboots and guise. Then other lower guk drops. He never got a sash, but I scored a RBB from manaburning Gorenaire that I gave him instead. He was my level 52 dragon tank. I also got him twin EBW's while making Mistmoore my farming bitch. There was a thread years ago comparing a SSoY to an EBW, and the EBW was like 1% better over duration, so that's why I got it for him. Plus, no one had those swords. They were much rarer. I flooded the market with Maid & Buttler fangs, though. And Cloak of the Dhampyre. Lots of good shit in Mistmoore that you could easily solo farm.
