I miss what it was like to play EQ around the Vellious expansion. I loved that game. I've tried playing one of the "classic" servers and while it is close to how I remember it I no longer found it fun, since I have changed. I will always cherish the memories from it. Meeting my wife in the Paw dungeon. Taking her to the Temple of the Dragons and going all the way to the top. Camping the Plane of Hate for her epic weapon. Camping the stupid giant in the ocean island for my epic weapon. That one zone without oxygen on Luclin. Making tons of money teleporting people around the world.

I joined an EQ1999 server and at first I tasted some of the old magic, and then I went to that level 10ish level dungeon where you fight gnolls and this guy I made friends with started chatting with me about how sad he is since he had his stroke and that EQ is the only thing he could do now and then I just stopped playing altogether.. It just bummed me out so much. When I was a teen I remember feeling exhilarated just exploring, walking from the different cities, and making friends and getting advice, just being lost. But when I played again in Project 1999.. I was not really with new users, just much older adults in their 30s and 40s and 50s who were not discovering a new world, but desperately trying to return to their old one and the magic was not the same.. But I will be damned if I sometimes still get the urge to come back to that world.

> Camping the stupid giant in the ocean island for my epic weapon. Ah, the Ancient Cyclops camp to get the jboots. I remember spending an entire weekend, from Friday after school to Sunday night, camping AC and never getting him to spawn. Good times.
