Norrath is still the only world i care about, sure i played WoW quite a bit but i couldnt answer shit for questions about that game if asked - Hell i only know the name of a few npc off the top of my head even after all these years. EQ just felt more involved, be it the questing, raiding or griefing, everything just had much more impact. Its possible its bc the world wasnt instanced and all your actions in dungeons or raids actually affected others, but in any case it was awesome for its time even if its success was a mistake.

My favorite zone to train was Bastion of Thunder during Planes of Power. You would get four people, one to go to the top of each tower with different elemental giants, then have a race to get your whole wing to the bottom. This is the only screenshot I could dig up, but it is great because EF was the asian guild on the server (Innoruuk).

EverQuest became great when they added the non stick frying pan and cheese.

This. The sad part is that I doubt any game using a monitor, will ever give me that feeling again. (a VR game might). It really felt like a "first love" (to a crazy bitch who liked to cut you during sex).

This was a thing? Always had a monk or SK in group so never had to learn this.
Also it wasn't until 2012 that I found out fishing poles break.

This thread brings back so may memories and thinking about how the community was for this game. All of these happened on Torvon which was a server that came up right when Kunark released, I played for pre-kunark on Sol Ro.
I always played an enchanter main and my roommate at the time had a druid and later on a cleric. Since we where on the higher end of the level curve at the time we started farming stuff with Razed on the server who used to have good camps on lockdown and farm and then sell on ebay. I remember there being a no more eboots for mages campaign going on it EC at the time he was farming them hard, it was pretty funny and of course I had a some to sell myself. Later on he was the major fungi tunic farmer on the server. I got a couple of those with him and remember making one of our RL friends that played a monks day by giving him a fungi tunic.
There was also the one time in Velious that we all ninja'ed up to plain of growth and sat 2 druid boxes on the pogs so they wouldn't respawn and went an cleared half the plane with 2 groups or random people we knew. Best part of that was torvon was notorious for having planes on rotation, so there was a glorious amount of forum tears shed that day by the guild that was supposed to clear it the next day.
Later on I joined Blades of Wrath on that server and they didn't respect any of the rotations, so random pickups where always fun for people thinking we were a bunch of assholes. There was one time I was bored so I did a PUG in velks and the warrior in the group had less AC and HP than my enchanter, so I was pissing him off by playing as a werewolf tank.
Also sometimes the bugs where just great. The one I remember best was shortly after luclin I had a clicky on my enchanter called ice shatter I think that was from some luclin drop, (when I got it, it was a proc weapon so much more fun in groups when I was bored with slow pulls)
, but it got nerfed into a slow as clicky. Anyway we where doing Avatar of War and the entire zone bugged out so everyone's spells started fizzling. I just happened to be click on my ice shatter (cause I was a chanter with nothing else to do there cause of the charm nerf) and it turned into a machine gun. Instant cast nuke. So while we didn't kill Avatar on that occasion because of the bug and our CH chain going to shit, I think I did at least 10k damage clicking madly on that thing doing 125 a pop.
Lots of good memories of this game even though I remember being frustrated and bored a lot. Worst was the long as camps clearing trash for what felt like days before you could kill 1 damn raid mob.
I have tried server MMOs since and really nothing compares for me. Not that I have blocks or 6-10 hours to play anymore. I like to say I majored in Everquest and minored in computer science while i college.

Enchanters are so freaking awesome--I played a monk and am returning to Phinny as a bard, but the thought of chanter keeps creeping in--raiding and going back and lol AAing in Velks with some random healer chanter tanking with slow+animation dps
