MMO Nostalgia...

[Teirshin]

The first EverQuest.. back when it launched. Great MMO to cut your teeth on and learn the genre.

Nowadays people wouldnt be able to cope with how that game was set up. They whine now when they have to walk an extra 5 minutes... Imagine dying and all your gear dropping to the ground while you get ported to the nearest city and have to get back to your stuff naked.

So, having lived through that, I can laugh at most of the whiners who come here thinking they've got it "oh so hard".

Pfft, you dont know what hard is.

Those were the days. I remember Plane of Fear raids, where you wipe trying to "break" the spawn at the zone in. Then you spend the next 4-5 hours trying to get everyone's equipment back. It was stressful, but I miss the challenge of those types of zones.

World of Warcraft - The Burning Crusade: getting stomped on by a Fel Reaver as a fresh level 60 (or 58).

For something so big, they were surprisingly sneaky.

Haha, from the horrible screeching sounds it made to the whole screen shaking, it was epic. I disagree they were sneaky though, you could hear them from a mile away, the problem is that sometimes you can't outrun them by the time you know where they are

The Ravasours in Un'Goro in Classic had the same sneakiness, and were often used as an example when people pointed out that Tauren couldn't be rogues because of their size and awkwardness

I had many wow moments in WoW and in EQ2. Until FFXIV:ARR came along, they were my reference to the best things in MMOs (and I have played every major MMO in the last 10 years except AoC and Tera).

I know right???

Planar raids took days sometimes, and if you got a drop, you seriously earned it.

I remember getting the chest piece of my purple cleric set..... last piece of the set. Felt like I'd been through a war to get it.

I was a Magician and finished the 1.0 epic quest.. Getting people to do a raid all the way to the last island of Plane of Air. OMG that was a pain, but it was so cool to have that rod and the pet.
