Cutcreator/Bard/Marr’s Fist-CLW 2007-2010
Did you move Cutcreator from MF to CLW?
Actually Cut was my character on MF from like 05. I had the years wrong. I had Tidal and Cut on MF but since I could not get the name Tidal on CLW, I recreated Cut there.
I had a char on MF named Dredar – Bard
Other IRL friends played on CLW, Delrith…. i dont remember
Welcome to the blog! You still keep in contact with the real life friends?
Yes, i’m in the room with one of them right now. We played pre-frontiers and frontiers beta – 2006ish. Still have my beta disk

Yeah, I made the one zone map that might still be floating around. Was going to complete it before SOE banned me. Thanks Zatozia! D:
BTW, nice blog. Nice to see that people still play. Too bad they never updated it with an in-game map.
Welcome, welcome! I’ve actually heard your name referenced both ingame and on this blog for a good map. Why did SOE ban you?
They banned me because I posted a signature that they found threatening, where everyone knew that, due to it being a meme, was a complete joke. Even after explaining it to them and giving them the source and various references, they refused to unban me.
Afterwards, Marinia (another player and good friend from my server) posted stuff on her private forum exploiting the almost-dictatorship that SOE propagates. Soon after, she was banned (even though it was not directly on SOE’s website), along with a few of her friends and guildmates. I suppose this is when the shit hit the fan, where most people that rose up and challenged SOE got themselves banned on both my and Marinia’s account. Since then, players on the forums (the strongest of the gaming community members) saw the injustice, saw the lack of content, and realized that me being banned was a martyrdom to the downfall of this once great game. I saw many of my friends leave the forums, one by one, until only a handful of quad-boxers remained. I never wanted this to happen, but SOE in their infinite wisdom saw no future in EQOA and decided to milk it dry instead.
You can read article and understand why I was so infuriated that the game I have placed a lot of time and dedication into, as well as giving back to the community with the map and a few walkthroughs.
Pretty much irrelevant since I was already planning on leaving as Zatozia and Daemass continually said they would grant me coordinates and guide access so that I could scour the world to finish my map. It never happened, and I felt that after this “say one thing, do another” routine, it was evident that this game was doomed due to the staff that SOE hired.
My map .
I post here because I played a travelling minstrel, so the story will continue to be told. Since this outrage, I have not purchased or played any other SOE/SCEA game. I do, however, have my Frontiers disc, as well as the Frontiers beta disc (when I was testing beta before it went live) as a memento. I do have access to another account, but I don’t think I will be giving SOE money any time soon!
It is a shame really, as the game is STILL quite good, but the content is non-existent. If only they expanded the game and pushed advertisements like other companies do (Blizzard, SquareEnix), they would have found themselves quite a gravy train. I mean, why not? They did that for Everquest and Everquest 2, which have fallen flat on their faces in the wake of the Lich King WoW expansion and other similar MMOs. I wonder how much money Zatozia and company has costed SOE? Hmmm…
Wow Tidal I remember you bro from MF, I bet you remember my ranger Arathorne too hehe and I had a SK Darkarathorn on MF and bard my the name of Wartimes. I have a few 60s on CLW at the moment as well. I don’t know if I can come back now though we will see.
I remember Darkarathorn we leveled together on my sk Darksarodare
whats up man?
hahha hell yeah I remember you dude wow, good times man. I want to get the game and system and get back into it it’s too damn fun not to get back and the nostalgia brings back memories from prefronts and all the grinding and times and adventuring, raids, etc
I gotta get a ps2 for cheap and the game for cheap from Amazon like I was looking for it on, they got nice prices, I got my old account on CLW with my Assassin, Ranger and Enchanter, so I’ll be back as soon as I can sell my DC Universe Online, not really liking it and get a system and game. If anyone wants it let me know I’ll sell it for cheap digital downlaod as well. 40$ as soon as I sell im picking up a cheap ps2 and eqoa. Here I come back hah
I know what you mean man.. been having those urges for awhile now. Luckily I don’t have a way to activate my account lol. I’ve been playing WoW for about a year or 2 now. I still have a 60 ench and something on an account… I might find a way to activate it
Tried calling in?
Lostangyl / Cleric / Hodstock
active from Aug 2003 (I got a little later start) on and off through 2007 or 2008 when we finally quit for good, after they made both all/all robes NTL with NO ADVANCE WARNING and my husband Lostpilgrim (SK Hod) had loaned his (That he had waited many years to acquire) to a good friend. Irretrievable. We did come back for a short-lived stint on CLW after that, and have considered taking another shot at it.
Hey Lost, I remember you and Pilgrim standing around FP! If you guys do return, let me know and we can help you get up to speed. It’s always good to get people from Hodstock back!

Wow, this website brings back such fond memories. LA, Pil, and a score of other people, we had a lot of great times. I finally called this game quits when I moved to college, but gradually moved to WoW. I actually stole LP’s name for one of my toons. I hope this message finds you both well (and anyone else who sees this). It would be entertaining to come back, but i don’t know my password anymore.
1luv!

Ah, the first official bear to keep his butt in my toons face constantly, lol… Glad to see you’re doing well =)

I watched a friend play beta got interested, started playing second week after the original EQOA came out. Played until about 2005, took a six month break, picked it back up and played until 06. Quit playing because, even though the community migrated to CLW, the population was small, with the majority of players dual or quadboxing, AFKing, grouping at the camps that took absolutely no skill to grind, the game lost ALL of its major draws to me. I remember chatting in groups at camps that we had to fight through mobs to get to a safe place and set up a grind camp in the middle of a bunch of reds, but when i left, grinding became grouping with a group of afk petters in complete and utter silence at a camp of reds spawning in a circle in the middle of a field of greens. (trees/gobs/giants).
I came back for a month in 07 to see if anything had been updated, and found they had taken out the last major update and replaced it with a bunch of green bats (plane of war/zoarans plane). I sometimes check out the EQOA message boards to see whats going on, hoping for a red name to announce the production of a new EQOA 2 for ps3, but always end up finding things like how they updated the game to nerf level grinding with the addition of hagly boon to live servers.
I have tried many MMOs, (currently have active toons in EQ2 and WoW) but EQOA was the best in its prime. It made you have to use your community to actually level instead of all the HnG boredom that is now plaguing ALL MMOS).
I wont be coming back, but if they ever make another EQOA and actually support it, i might think about it, (doubtful, SOE has shown a lack of support for ALL their MMOS except the original EQ).
Oh, and i was in the guild in that one picture, from your blogpost “how good is your memory” (and my wizard was in the picture between infamousmage and razlirak) im pretty sure we were on our way to help one of the guildies kill the 60 epic quest mob located in the swamp, a giant skelly? if memory serves me right?).
Nice! Welcome to the blog… No worries on coming back. Would love to have you if you ever feel like it. Also, pretty awesome you’re in one of the photos. You know of anywhere else I could get some of your guild’s media?
I have reactivated my unbanned dual-box account to play on CLW for a bit. Since I reserved my name on all servers on my old account, my character’s name is Ayrica. Would be nice to see some others get back in, but if things don’t turn out I will probably head back to my SMP Minecraft server. (If you play Minecraft, check out Herocraft on the Minecraft forums. One of the most popular beta survival servers!)
I haven’t seen you on past the first day. Your bard is like 21ish right? We have 7 or so regulars at this point and I know of at least 2 more that are returning this week. I’m sure we’ll pick up more and this will snow ball into a regular crowd.
I just hit 24 before the server went down, maintenance I think. Got all of my 17 quests done and finish my path quest. Going to do my 23 and 25 quests later, but until then I’m going to be grinding at BBW orcs for faction.
Hey im interested in coming back soon I have a few alts Im also Johnp clw 60 guardian.
I am considering coming back sometime around july when im through with my semester in college.
Id like to dual box, ive also saw your post on the forums how long do you guys plan on sticking around this would be great for players who all would like to come back and experience the nostalgia that remains in eqoa. Do i hear a guild coming?lol
Hey man, whenever you want to come back… feel free. Send us a message. We have a guild going so leave a mail message if none of us are available!
oh this sounds awesome. Hoping you guys will still be around when i return. If you guys ever start raiding towards summer time you can count in 2 stackers(Nec) ive decided to dual box.
Ok so I was Omniac/Halfling /Rogue/DH
I was one of the founders of Death from Below, and Death from Above, both guilds hit the Max member cap!. I just came back last year, left for WOW for about 3 years. I still think EQOA is the best MMO I have ever played! Right now I am omnicasts and omnitanks on CLW trying to grind to end game! Oh and we talk EQOA on my podcast occasionally, check it out!

Nice! What’s up Occ? I always remember you standing in FP. So far we have had Pollux, Yesp, Lostangyl, and now yourself post a comment. You interest in returning?
If I had enough time I would. I’m currently in the US Navy and between work and my other responsibilities I just don’t have enough time anymore. I’m at least looking into trying “Everquest Next” when it comes out. I’m hoping it hits home with consoles too.

Good to see some Dark Crusaders in here. Still stay in contact with your former guildies?
No, I don’t. I’m terrible at keeping in touch with people. But I do adore the old DC members, and we’ll always have our memories if nothing else. It’s amazing how names you thought you’d never see or hear again pop up, even on the interwebz. Hopefully more names will find their way to these comments, and reveal themselves.
Never really played on Hodstock. I was just one of the first on Marr’s Fist pre-fronts and then migrated to CLW as time went on through the years. But good to have more people on
Rezikai 60 Human assassin Hodstock
Kristalice 60 Barb warrior Hodstock
Rezikai 60 Human burglar Diren’s Hold
Played in Legend’s guild New World Order a bit, then hopped to Dark Covenant a little bit (Sethriel’s guild) and then finally stopping in The Unnamed…
i miss hodstock.com… kono ended it i guess.
Yeah Kono wasn’t going to keep paying the no-ad’s fee if he wasn’t apart of the game anymore. It lasted until 2007ish even though he quit in ’04. I remember you pretty well Rez.. pretty sure you had a CV? I thought you were also Ezikiel the monk.
Wow! alot of familiar names out there! Hope everyones doing well! I sure do miss those old EQOA days. I’d plug it back in and catch up a little with you guys if I still had a ps2. I started basically around launch and played maybe 3 or so years. Was an Elder in Knight’s Templar on Marr’s Fist and ran one of the baddest Alch’s out there.

I think the weirdest thing about this blog so far is seeing old names 4-5 years later. It’s good to know those people are still around, somewhere. PS2′s go for under 80 bucks used! Just don’t quad box… We saw a guy quad boxing ogres and realize that he’s paying $60 in subscriptions alone! Most of the returners weren’t CLW players — so if you’re nervous about coming back because you don’t have a foundation of 60′s on the server, no worries. We’ll help you out with that.
I’ve got a pill for that!

2003-2005 and then off/on from about 2007 until now.
I have contemplated coming back and would probably only do it if I could get into a perma group and xp like the old days. I don’t care if it was with or without boon.
Love the site btw!
That was our intention too… then I experienced boon and… dang. Perma group was really tough with people’s schedules and time zones. A lot of our readers are still in college (seeing as the game came out in 2003 when most were in high school or middle school.) Boon is a huge help to getting your feet underneath you money and experience wise.
Yeah, I guess you’re right about the scheduling. I actually just graduated college the end of December and still looking for a job so, I have a lot of free time. I guess if I came back I would probably make a guy, but I would also like to have a character that I only leveled with a perma group. We could just level them when we were all on at the same time. Would anyone be willing to do something like that?
What college? I graduated in May. I would definitely be up for that… I’d like to make shammy at some point.
Ball State University. It’s a school in Indiana.
Yeah! 13-1 season a few years ago?
Haha. Well we were 12-0, then lost our last 2 games, but we got ranked up to 11th. So, it was a really good year. Most people haven’t heard of the school haha. Where’d you grad. from?
Michigan. Huge college football fan though.
I would be down for a perma group with a toon. I’m always getting bored and wanting to roll another class.
Yo Wreck, I’ve been busy and should be on Sat morning. I hate to say it, but the biggest deterrent to this game is pushing the power button, haha! Not sure if you’ll be on Saturday, but let’s plan a grind group to get my tag and your abils? Or even your alc’s tag.
Alright, cool. I’ll let you guys know when I fire the game back up and all that. I am not sure what I would make yet, but I would only level that toon in a perma group. I will just make other toons to play until everyone is on together.
I’ll prolly be on Saturday but it will be in the evening. Can do nec or alc doesn’t matter gotta get them both done. Lol
Congrats. I’m a huge college football fan as well. I was kinda pissed when I found out I don’t have ESPNU to watch some of the signing day today.

I came across this blog a few weeks ago, and it has brought back a lot of great memories! Thanks for putting it together.
I had been playing WoW for awhile, but I was getting bored with it around when WotLK came out. As my desire to play dwindled, so did my free time, and before I knew it, I both didn’t want to play and didn’t have time to even if I did want to.
Over a year later, I started missing MMOs. I decided to make a return to EQOA last May because I was feeling nostalgic. DH was mostly dead so I rerolled on CLW. I dual-boxed an ALC and CL to the mid 30′s before I got bored, mainly from missing many of the great people I had played with back in the day. In the end, I lasted less than a month.
Seeing some of you pick the game up again has made me want to give returning ANOTHER shot because there would be people in the same boat as me, excited to give the game another try and looking to experience some of the new things that have been added as well as re-experience all the old things we used to enjoy. Unfortunately, I sold one of my PS2s and don’t have access to the other. I’m very tempted to order a slim PS2 (and the game) so that I could play again. If I did return then I would want to dual box again, so I would need to order another PS2 anyways. That would at least let me single box for a while until I can get my other PS2 in a few months. I’m still making up my mind whether or not I should make the commitment to come back because if I’m going to do it a second time then I want to stick with it for awhile. The biggest barriers right now are that my weekly play time would be pretty limited and the cost, though I’m less concerned by the second. It might take me 3-4 months to get 2 characters raid ready. Knowing that a few months from now there would still be people who have recently returned to the game still questing, raiding, and trying to tackle a lot of the new content (that people who never stopped playing finished years ago) would make the commitment it takes to play again much easier to make. Have you put a guild together made up of blog readers and other recently returned players, and do you all plan to keep playing longer-term?
Whoo, that was much more long-winded than I intended! Once again, thanks for collecting all of these great memories from one of my favorite games.
Hello and welcome! Thank you for the comment! We did put a guild together but a lot of our players are in college and are busy with school. We do have about 4 active players and 3-4 semi-active. Right now, I think we’re looking to join up with a more active group. I would highly recommend sticking with single boxing until you’re hooked again. It’s a completely different game than it used to be. I actually like the new version better… with the exception of not having the people I used to remember around. Let us know when you want to return and we’ll be happy to help you out.
So I have decided to come back. I ordered a PS2 and it should be here in about a week. I’m going to keep my cleric and alc on the shelf for now until I’m ready to dual box again.
I haven’t decided what class I’m going to roll, but at this point I’m leaning towards an elf enchanter. However, it would be great if we can get the personnel together to see some raid content eventually, so if class diversity could potentially limit our raiding options, I’d be willing to consider some other class you guys think might be needed more. Honestly I could enjoy playing almost any class so it wouldn’t matter to me, though I did experience a decent amount of raiding as a tank so it would be nice to play another archetype to 60.
Hi.
Purplecl/Chrisgriffin, cleric/enchanter from CLW here.
Played from 2004-07.
I’ve tried to come back but it’s just not the same. Maybe if more people i used to know did it would be worth it. i dont know, it was fun at least.
Plus, I have some old EQOA vids on youtube.com/snakeg88. Good times.
Great blog!
Welcome to the blog! Even though we are all on CLW, it’s rare to see an original CLW’er around here. I’ll def check out your vids. What’d you use to record back then?
Thanks. Yeah, I used to glitch… everything. lol. I don’t know what it was like on other servers, but on CLW there were quite a few people “rocking” and me and my friends were known for it. I have to say, while raiding was good, there was nothing like killing Bertox with 2 people. Did people glitch on other servers? Have you?
man now this brings back some good memories
toons were Benrona 60 mage and Nofreepills 60 Alc, played from around 2003 to 2006 or so, was in All for One One for All, and then some guild Calaway started followed by a guild Blace and Holywarrior put together.
I remember people like Jigen, Jazzyme, Selesia, Jipt, Cheesefry and his brother, Somkedup/Nattyice, Sskain, Beastly, Ryder, and that one dude who would never let High Chieftan in soulsek’ s eye be up for more than 2 mins think his name was Giglilo or something like that, i cant say much tho i spent countless hours up on deso 2 farming RoDs and BPoA’s
Yo man! Definitely remember a lot of those people you listed. Calaway was a warrior if I remember irght? Human?
So weird that I stumbled upon this website and some hold hodstock names are postin!
This is Maximillan/Xplosion/idontevenremember – War-Defender/Alchemist-(Can’t remember which)
Postin for my Dad too, most of you will probably remember Kaotic/Bonesy the 60 Dark Elf Warrior and Erudite Necromancer.
Reppin Alliance of Kings, still play World of Warcraft with a lot of old AoK/EQoA people too, fadedlight, crimsonlight, their son, bearzy played for a while, a ton more I just can’t really remember who all lol
Yo Max it is Crocadoc Defender and Crocer. I had some run ins with you. Good times.
Dlain/multiple 60 god tanks/PPO
my resume includes baddest mother fucker on the game, first pally to tank bertoxx on ppo, set multiple server records for my time period with my pal, ran monster raid guild for 3 years with about 4 good players and multiple noobs who i booted or replaced with random noobs weekly and still ran server, first to glitch CT, naggy(pre-pet rock fix and post rock fix) first to glitch RZ(back in late 09 for my nostalgia comeback tour)…god knows what else i glitched. I had 3 smr’s throughout my career, got about 12-15 accounts banned. Had a GM(kenpachii) actually give me a free fucking smr. I was known as a god/king of the server along with my partner in crime Grobic who was the first/only SK to tank bertoxx and many other mobs on ppo with low numbers as well. Anyone from ppo will remember this name even til this day. rawr!
Haha… Please tell me you recite that entire bit when you apply for jobs?
I’m not entirely sure “first to glitch (insert raid mob)” is the best thing to be known for, but for sure I do remember Dlain and Grobic from PPO. Never knew you personally, or heard anything specific about you, but saw you around a lot. What guild did you run?
Our guild was The Prophecy… but yea bro, most people don’t know me and few of my friends were the first to glitch a lot of these mobs, kinda annoying they just call me a “rocker” and not “the best rocker” ya know? Isn’t like I glitched mobs cuz I couldn’t kill them with my guild, did it cuz i didn’t wanna roll for the loot with my guild. Then of course it became a sport..the rush you get from doing a mob and hoping you don’t get caught is like running from the cops! lawl

Anyone Remember Jaydeo if they’re from Marr’s Fist? LOL @ that guy, geez, it’s nearly a fond memory now though he was quite a little griefer back then
Jaydeo! God I got trained by him several times at Clops! What a time, Elf Druid right? I think hes an NPC now lmao. Kelinar I believe
hagley NPC lol, that little town not too far from Qeynos and on the way to bear cave it think. My first character was a paladin from qeynos and he had a quest there around level 13 or 15 i think.
Jaydeo got my group at hexbones outside zentar’s keep while I was grouped with an old friend Motley, he sow’d me probably hoping I would run and let my group die lol. then he came back with about 7 or 8 hexbones at least. I have to say I lol’d even though we died if I remember right, I totally didn’t see that coming shame as it is to say, he waited till I pulled too LOL
Haha yup, I remember Jaydeo! I also recall Scarecrow training like crazy at the huge Nasehir camp down the coast from MTG….man I got so pissed back then, but now looking back & really thinking about it gives me a good laugh =)

March ’03-’06
First off I must say, I love your blog. Brings back so many fond memories and great times with my first ever MMO. Ive recently came back, I blame all you guys who have made me realize how awesome this game really is. I played WoW, FFXI, DC Universe and others but nothing besides EQOA ever did it for me. Guess sitting back on my couch just “hits the spot”. Ive been back about a week now, Im looking for a guild to call home again on CLW. I will also be Dual boxing in the coming week. If anyone is recruiting or just wants to go whack on some monsters just throw me a message. My in game name is Ascend right now, 30 Druid. Looking forward to hearing from someone. See you in Norrath!
Hey man! Mail me on either Stonee, Stoneb, or Corrigan. I’ll be on all this week.
Hey man been on havent seen ya, whats your play times?
Wasn’t on yesterday and might not be on tonight. I have a crazy first part of the week with some travel stuff. Wreck is usually on or try a guy playing under Whirls.
I was on yesterday for a bit, til CLW went down then switched over to PPO. Everyone switched back when it crashed and we raided on Uzra and PoS twins. Finally got LoP on my nec on PPO lol.
Anyway, I will probably be on today. Most likely on Wreckanize or Wreckuiem, possibly Magmahand. Send me a tell or mail if you want in guild or just to group.
Did you all manage to get an invite to the guild?
Sorry I haven’t been around the last week, my schedule has been pretty hectic. I should have more free time to play again in 4 or 5 days. I’ll also have my second ps2 then, so I’ll be dual boxing.
Just a heads up so you don’t think I’ve quit on you all!
No worries man, I haven’t been on since Sunday. I’ll be back Monday night or Tuesday. Got really busy with work and St Patty’s day, then traveled for the weekend.
Yeah, I got him in guild the other day. I need some bady on in guild to invite my bard in lol when ar you guys gonna be back on?
Yo Wreck… I’ll be back on Monday night. Away from home right now.
Woops forgot a sign off: that was Whirls (aka Kordolin)
Salvatron – 55 Barbarian Berserker – Hodstock (I don’t remember why but I went 100% mastery at 55)
Also hey occoclet, not for sure if you remember me man, but we played LOTRO when it first came out. Saw you posted you’re in the Navy, great to here that man.
I should be on in a few, couple questions about your guild( I definetly plan on joining) First off whats your name so I can try looking for some people if your not on. Plan on trying to raid casually? And what kind of classes are you looking for or need? Myself and my cousin will be playing, ill be dual boxing and he will be single our first set of toons will be Paladin,Mage and a Bard. Just looking to experience some old memories and make some new ones with the content I havent explored yet. Ill be looking for you Wreck
Hey everyone, better late than never to post here. If anyone remembers me I was Kibawolf: 60 Barb Warrior, Drorphious: 60 Scholar Necromancer, Edwardelrick: 60 Alchemist, Tsumewolf: 55 Rouge (if i recall) and I would almost always run around with my best friend’s 60 Stormcaller Druid Tatakai who’s dad played the game from the start, Goto 60 Barb Shaman and Avenger 60 Barb Warrior who is Tatakai’s older brother.
EQOA brought me a lot of happy memories from 2003 to 2007 from walking around exploring Tunaria’s secrets to raiding. I was good friends with Purpleclr / Chrisgriffon above and I talk to him in ventrilo from time to time with my current kin (guild) in Lord of the Rings Online. I’m possibly the top guardian on my server tied with a couple other acquaintances of mine as far as tanking goes. I accomplished my MMO dream in LOTRO what I couldn’t in EQOA. The best Kiba ever tanked was Norroxus. If I had the chance to come back for a bit just to face the big boys like CT or Bert I gladly would for nostalgia but I unfortunately sold my account. But who knows, I DO have an unused keycode so I may come back one day just for kicks.
wouldn’t mind starting the journey again.
A lot of things happened while I was absent. I’m about to start a new career path in college. I’m going for a Bachelor’s degree in any field so I can get a work permit so I can be an English teacher over in Japan. I was planning on Graphics Design but I sorta grew out of that, I’m even certified in CISCO networking. I was diagnosed with and starting to overcome Psoriatic arthritis. I spent a lot of time working out but I kept feeling worse and worse by the week to where I couldn’t even hardly move out of bed. Frick, that was the worst year of my life and it always will be. But now It’s well managed and I can move like I could before, now I just have to get back into the routine of going to the gym again -_-. And I have a stable job working with CROSSMARK with extremely flexible hours. I basically collect data on displays in stores for companies like Nestle, Coke, Pepsi, Kellogs, and so on. When it comes to gaming time I usually spend my time in LOTRO like I said above or playing fps games like Left 4 Dead, Team Fortress 2 and I’m also playing Minecraft. If any of you play on Steam feel free to add me as a friend “tyrothehedgehog” is my username. It should appear as “Tyro the Tenko.”
Sorry for the life’s story lol. I wish I visited this site sooner to join in. I miss you all even If I never grouped or talked with any of you. EQOA was a pretty big chapter in my teen years because if it wasn’t for this game I would have never meet Alicia (Tatakai), Rob (Avenger) or Steve (Goto). I seriously can’t believe its been almost 10 years since I joined the game and became friends with them and a majority of everyone here. Again, sorry for the EXTREMELY late post and I’m glad to see some familiar names here.
PS. Thanks for hosting some of my EQOA videos on your blog
Looking on it now, my Overlord Xrag video has over 10,000 views!? FRRIIIIIIIICKKKKK! oO
I actually saw you in a video today, PoS. Small world eh. Go ahead and come back you know you wanna, I just recently re rolled on CLW and that feeling of starting fresh and meeting new people and just going through the adventure and seeing everything again is what makes this game so fun. So yea go ahead and use the keycode =P
Hey, do any of you have a 360? We could boot up 360s start a party chat and use it like ventrillo for playing eqoa. Could do it with a ps3 also probably. Does ps3 have party chat? Never used mine for that.
I have a ps2 still… I’m living in the stone age my friend. Can do Skype though. And it marked your roll call post as spam… weird.
Yeah, I tried posting it a few days ago and it wouldn’t let me. So I tried again yesterday and it did it again.
My Main (well i actually had 6 mains lol but primary)
Kahzahm / Magician / Proudpine Outpost
Wildcards / Magician / CLW

Hey guys. awesome read going here.
Hemotep/ranger/hodstock
Lysol/necro/hodstock
i played 03-05 then a few hardcore runs 05-08, swapping with EQ2:
Radio/troubadour/Antonia Bayle
Clockwork/swashbuckler/Antonia Bayle
I definitely remember Hemotep! You ever consider returning to CLW?
Hey I remember Lysol, you remember dula or Squag? Or notamonk?
Nice thing you have going on here , anything that keeps the EQOA community together is a good thing . Was none too happy when hodstock.com shutdown. Anyhow i’ll be making a comeback any day now. Nazermael/55 wiz/hod Arzun/51 war/hod nope , never reached 60 , didnt care
Well getting to 60 is a breeze now… I’ve seen some guys do it in less than 24 hours. If you really, really want a 60 an alc or wizzy will get you there fastest. Bards and petters are probably 2nd fastest.
First andmain server: Castle Lightwolf
Started: About 2 weeks after EQOA came out
First character was a Western Human Paladin named Noraxium (or now that I think of it, was it Northalius? Either or, I forgot now, lol!). I was such a noob, EQOA was my first MMORPG, so I did not know much. I thought I was a DD, not a “tank”. So I remember fighting at the gnoll camp that is down the road from DM and I did not taunt or anything, I just hit the gnolls like everyone else. lol! Luckily I do remember there being higher levels (30ish) with us, so they were taking the damage well, no one died much. lol! But dang, what a noob I was. lol! I had all ‘store bought’ armor on at level 28, too. I did not know about the 17 armor quests at the time. lol! Ah!
I remember at around level 12 I was running around with like 15 people near Qeynos and I followed them all the way to this big cave, so one said something like “Wait here…” and he brought out Gertrude! We all scattered like roaches when the lights went on! It was so fun (and funny!). We did not know she was only agro to those that specifically pulled her though, we were noobs. Fun times! My Qeynos Prison memories are the strongest out of all of them, even trumping the high level raiding zones like IoD and PoS, etc. Though I did enjoy farming for ruby in CT! Killing those lizard men.
Anyway, I did not level him (Paladin) much higher; he was left at around 28-30 before I deleted him later on. I made a rogue (Zorthon – level 47), Bard (Northax – hit level 60, power path), Wizard (Arithomisius – hit 60, Channeler), Zanitar (hit 60, power path Lich – this character I enjoyed the most in groups, he kept me REALLY busy in Lich form and feeding everyone power constantly! I loved it!), etc. I made a monk, but no level past 40 as far as I remember. Shaman hit around level 48 or 49. Wumple, my gnome Cleric hit around 40ish.
I left EQOA around 2006, really because the devs just gave up on the game; no more expansions. I left for other reasons on top of that, but I won’t get into it here, unless you really want to know. lol
Oh, and the first big guild I was in on CLW server was: Rites of The Four Horsemen
And now I remember, my W Human Ranger was named Northalius. I remember first going to IoD with my guild when my Ranger was 49. That was pretty cool! Though I didn’t stay long since I’d get more debt if I died. I dinged and went back ASAP! Fun raiding there back in the day!
I also loved xping at hexes near Zentars Keep. Those were fun around 43-46. Spent hours and hours there. Loved the snowy setting and all. Luckily being human, I was able to always coach there! ;P
Loved farming in Vox’s lair as well.
Xping at Phantoms (in Frontiers) was fun, as well.
So many memories!

I’m back for the 45 days thing, I’m also debating about starting up again. I had quit in april 09 when most my friends quit, I then played FFXI full time till Sept last year, I haven’t played any MMO since then. I was looking at starting EVE up, but the 45 days came up and I thought I would give EQoA one last run, kinda missed it I guess. I wish is was like 05-06 again,with the devs gone and no support it doesn’t look like it, hopefully EQnext comes on ps3/ps4.
Ah, I ran into you the other day, right?

Hey there. I think I remember seeing Queequod running around sometimes. I definitely remember seeing Touch of Death people from time to time (at least it rings a bell, as it’s been so long). I was a founder of the Lollipop Guild. Pre-frontiers. Remember us?

I made a comeback in Summer of 08′ where my best friend and I thought it would be a fun revival of our past time to jump back into EQOA. So I made a new character Obsidious 55 Slayer on CLW, and I’m looking to hop back in it again.
Get a mail from SOE saying 45 days free, so figured i’d go visit my sexy little gnomies. One box is never enough so into the closet I go to dig out 3 more ps2′s. Evercrack is all I need to say.

I was reminising reading this page. I was Starchaser on Hodstock server. I had a 60 diviner drd, 60 Defender, and 60 necro. It was great to read about everyone. I play eq2 with my sister now but miss so many people from the game. I had so many good times. I played from the time it came out until about 2005. Never know maybe I will be back sometime.
Starchaser
cunokyle/wiz – I do not remember for sure where I was level wise when I stopped playing.
I played beta phase 1 ( I still may have the 3 different discs somewhere) – March ’04
Played a couple of different toons. I do not remember which server I was on for sure at the time…I have not touched the game since March of 2004….until this week! My wife and I decided to start playing EQOA!
We are both on CLW…and I was sad when I was outside of Halas…and there were not a ton of people LFGing.
My wife is not the fondest of the game (even though she was up all night playing it last night!) but she is starting to get the hang of it. She was brainwashed by WoW so she was not used to having to “work” at the game.
Now, the wife and I are both level 10 on our Mains (She is an Elf Paladin and I am an Elf Cleric) and we are really starting to get into it. I forgot how much fun the game was! Glad to be back!
Oh…and we are currently playing the non-Frontiers version of the game…hard to find a decently priced Frontiers!
Does anyone here play league of legends?

Was friends with Vegeta Newman Cogline Itar Montarkeen Khankar, Kujo, Korn, Necro, Hoppy. I ran Legacy guild for a while, was also in Necromancers, Lords of Contempt, Dominion, Neversleep

Hodstock
CST
All for One, One for All (guild)
My central highlight was having both level 60 epic reward items. I want to say I had both spells too, but I don’t recall that part. I think I had the Power path spell and Agony of the Dead.
I was Maltaethir and Bamsama. I don’t remember when I quit, but was around since beta.
Oh yeah, Hodstock for life.
Indeed. I created a bard named Clamor and at one point played with a toon you rolled when you returned for a bit.
Though I might have already told you that… I haven’t checked this thread.
Wow lol I rem some of u guys nice job on this site well anyway I hada two chars Kainen and Mebash 60 sk and hero does anybody know how to retrieve old accs I’ll totally get bak in that game lol oh yea I was on Mf to
You should call customer service. If you don’t remember your old account info they will ask you questions like the email address you used to create the account, a credit card number you used, and failing all of that they will ask you toon names and which server they are on. I had to do that with one of my accounts. When I did it they were pretty cool about it and I got it all set upagain in about 10 minutes.
I remember Mebash ogre right? and I think Kainen was a DELF? didn’t know you were the same person though i think. My SK was Sidius and Nec was Pancreas, and my paladin which i deleted initially and very first toon was Vladtepes (ironic name for a pally heh). Wiz was Wiickerman and my Ogre Gator Warrior was Demeurge or Demiurge, the last toon I worked on i think was gatoring him before i decided to quit , and Wiickerman I was leveling also around the time I remember sleeping at Sirens on Wiick with a rubberband holding my analog up to keep him from drownin heh
Santaria – 60 Shammy, Naleh – 60 Wizzy, Sorana – 60 Cleric, Tresa – 60 Nec
plus a plethora of others, all Hodstock
Played from about May 2003 until sometime in late 2006 or so
Wow, just wow…I can’t get over all of these old names from the past! So many hodstockers on here it’s crazy! I played WoW for a few years w/ some old Hodders….Rosered, Smeegle, Corax, Hatework, Spitfyre, Naruto and a few others. My fiance and I have been reminisching about EQOA a lot lately (we both played before we met, me on hod and him on CLW). We’re in the process of getting our hands on some copies of Frontiers and hoping to play again in the near future. Nothing has quite matched what EQOA was. I’d prefer to not play on CLW, but if all the other servers are really that dead, guess that’s where we’ll end up lol. Gonna be starting brand new toons, neither of us have any clue what our info was from 8 years ago. So awesome to still see a lot of familiar names floating around!
Zildjen 60 Faithful, Houdeni 57ish Aeromancer… and others that i cant remember, all on Hodstock. Up until I started reading this I couldn’t even remember the name of the server I played on for years! I remember you Santaria, Serephin and I were the leaders of “The Peacekeepers”. Wow thats been so long ago! Its cool to see all these familiar names pop up again, but also sad to know that the game has been laid to rest
Oh sorry, I had to edit the last post, because I forgot Serephin and I later merged “The Peacekeepers” with “The Daybreakers” which was probably the (guild) that was around alot longer
Souldinkou- 60 Cleric Diviner. Leader of Valiance and Pioneer of eqoa and the Castle Lightwolf server.. Pop.
2003- Til Necros stack got crazy and pet groups were invented! <3
… Soul? Buddy? Long time no speak, you gotta get ahold of me man… phreakin2008@gmail.com
Also, played from launch on CLW with my cousin Helminator, had a warrior and a necro Bhaalyman and Bhaalysdead respectively.
Oh lawdy, how i loved this game.
My cousins got me into this game and it was probably the best thing i could take from my childhood lol.. I must of started eqoaf when i was 10 or 11 so like 2004 till ’06 or ’07? It was great!
well my characters were:
Radiox – 60 pyromancer DH
55 monk 51 wiz and a bunch of 40s because i loved phantoms so much
Wish i could remember the names but they were all on Diren!
xbennyx and xjennyx
Roenick Human Ranger Hodstock
Co-Guild Leader of Hunters of the Fallen
Dang, super old school player. Welcome Roenick!
Whats up Roenick , Mcwolf here
You ever find that next best MMO ?
Myself been in wow since, played both eqoa and wow the same time for a year, but eventually moved on to just wow. Gave it another stint with sonys free 45 days the past year and made another Arlore on lightwolf. Miss the game, but hate putting time in something that the developers have already given up on.
Anyway, if anyone finds a good fantasy based MMO on console out there, let me know.
Distortion / Defender / Hodstock. I don’t even remember the dates.
Scarthem / Bard / Hodstock — Zyenscar / Mage / Hodstock — Mehtracs / Necro / Hodstock
And a plethora of other toons, from start and on for about 4 years I believe. I think I stopped logging in when I got into 360 and PS3 games.
Yain / Shaman / Hodstock

2012-
Just started and bought a new ps2 & a new disk just so i could play this game & a few other games i missed out on back when i had a ps2 in early 2001before i got into PC online games.
Tori/ Shaman/ Proudpine
Played this character from the day Proudpine opened until I quit when Final Fantasy came out in 2004. Had more fun in EQOA… Played WoW and EQ2 as well, but was never as involved as I was in EQOA.
I was the Guild Master of Three Kingdoms, as well as founder and co-leader of the Proudpine Guild Association; one of the best experiences of my life! I made lifelong friends. FYI, 3K was active in both FF and WoW in addition to EQOA. A GREAT group of people!!!!
Truly the “good old days”.
Hey there. I remember Three Kingdoms. I was a founder of the Lollipop Guild. Snowfall the dark elf rogue and Snowball the troll SK. I know I got the rogue to 60 and went assassin but came to despise it. The troll i got to mid 50s. I’ve tried other mmos, but they just don’t cut the mustard.
Ever since I got the urge tonight to check out this almost decade old game, I’ve been googling like crazy as the memories flood back. I came across the name Belerephon. He was a bard in 3 K! I remember seeing him alot.
Oh hey, I remember you!
Whatever the faults EQOA had we sure did have fun playing it!
inki<3
Tori, I was in your guild for awhile until I went rogue on my account. I had an elf paladin named Ball. I haven’t played in ages, but the game ending has made me nostalgic

Sorry for the above reply thought i was posting ….. Man , where to start ……Played this game since day one , pretty regularly for the first 3-4 years .Often i would take breaks of 6 months , however I have played at least 3-4 months of every year since the release of E.Q.O.A .. In so many ways this was, and in many ways, still the best m.m.o.r.p.g. ever to be released in the last decade in my opinion of course .Lack of advertisement killed this game , period!!! Sony’s decision to spend minimal funds in this area ultimately costs them hundreds of thousand of dollars . (Dare i say millions.)And i think we can all be honest and say even with their lack of spreading the word in the beginning , they still had ample time to promote this game in its later years or do anything at all to entice new players to try it out . This game didn’t need to be sold to all of us original players , it simply needed a little push start for all newcomers. We as players didn’t want or need much in this game , aside from the regular maintenance, feedback and technical support we deserved and payed for . Sony failed , well gave up in this area , with flying colors .When they released the original Z.P. , I thought to myself , maybe this game does have a fighting chance. However, in short, with the collapse of Z.P. , and the departure of multiple developers, this game became like a ghost town. I LOVE THIS GAME ……honestly i do…..I just wish somebody would’ve done something
to save this game when the opportunity was there .Sorry for the rant , my next post will be a lot more positive .

Hey folks. As I stated in a reply above. Proudpine outpost. Pre-Frontiers to about late 2004 I think. I was a founding member of the Lollipop Guild. I’m sure you saw us as we lasted two years. I played Snowfall the dark elf rogue, Snowball the SK troll, as well as a few mid lvl alts.I played alot with Pootytang the gnome warrior, Plumpkin the druid, Earwax the dwarf warrior, Kolahan the monk, Tattybear (or Tatonka) the barbarian shaman and wizard respectively, Jazzy the bard, Sedona the Alchemist, Valkery the elf cleric,and Movarrin the erudite cleric, as well as others I wish I could remember. My roommate was Farradar the barbarian warrior on Marr’s Fist. I gotta say, the wereforms sort of spoiled it for me a bit, as I thought it looked stupid when the world was a vast zoo. Also, the quests to get it for each guildy was just soulsucking. I also felt the cm points starting to become mind numbingly slow to gain. But my memories are fond nonetheless. There is nothing else like this game. I’m not actually huge into games, and I’ve just tried Star Wars the Old Republic, which is modeled after WoW, and it is so not the same. It lacks the sandbox feeling of being free in a strange world. And honestly, I prefer grinding at a camp w/ a group to basically being a bike courier on perpetual deliveries. Nothing like beating on frost giants.
Yeah make that to spring of 2005.
Hell, memories still coming in of original Lollipops. Turgon (aka Turgonil), Fawnia and Turcan, QTipp (Earwax’s alt), Tatertot (Pootytang’s alt), and Aradhel (who always needed my help.

Miss this game, WOW is so dumbed down now and getting more simplified next expansion. I loved eqoa’s simplicity, but you pretty much earned everything you had. Maybe one day find another good fantasy based MMORPG on console.
Hey McWolf. I played with you back during the Beta Corps days. In fact, I made an enchanter and AFK’d with you at the Qeynos prison. That was probably back in 2004.
Yeah it has been a while.
getting board with Cata again, all i do is wait around for the weekly raid with my guild runs. At the point few things are upgrades and hold little interest. Would be nice to find a game similar to EQOA on console that made you work for your items.

No. You need a backwards compatible PS3.

really loooooooved the game since I stopped playing it, I played many many different games and nothing compared to it, I am on a ps3 anyone else maybe going back to play? please contact me Ill prob start…is it lonely or is there alot of people thanks
Well I just started today and Im lvl 14. Havent seem many in Moradhim, but when did you ever. Freeport has a good chunk of people. Mostly lvl 60s.
Just heard the news today (email from SONY)…. I never thought this day would come, it has brought true heartbreak even though I have been away from the game for quite some time. I always had it in the back of my mind that I’d grab another PS2 and return to Norrath. Some nights I still dream of Shon To Monastery, Tethelin, Vox’s Castle, and Plane of Disease. To everyone who I played with that remembers me, I miss you all and cherish the good times we had.

Hi Kit!,
It’s great to hear from you two again! Ah man I miss running with you guys. I wish I could’ve gotten on one last time. Hehe, Tour de Force of PoS sounds like a blast. It seems that unless your account was active for Feb you can’t even get on anymore. No way to reactivate your account, what a bummer! Please keep in touch! I’d rather not give out my email – got enough spam already, but I’m on FB and easiest way to find me is through my YT account as I told Jib. Hope to hear from you guys! youtube (dot) com (slash) Romenadan . =)

/wave Deth! Good to see ya again. I didn’t know you were on WoW! I’ve spent several years on it, though not really active now while waiting on MoP. Always been horde except a short stint as a Hum Pal before BC. I’m on Nesingwary these days, name is Sigurthr or Romenadan depending on the toon.
Romenadan, hey! I remember you well probably because you were also a Human SK like myself, but I don’t think I ever knew you were Galeus too? When I saw that name I had to respond as it sparked a memory of me running around outside Neriak, don’t remember why, but I remember Galeus a skinny Elf Wizard came up to me, sent me a trade, which I refused a couple times out of confusion LOL….but eventually accepted IIRC; a Neriak guard spear. Wow old memories, that must’ve been like 2003 or 2004?
Hey Aquinos! Good to see you! Haha yes, I remember you well too! Indeed, that was me way back when in 2003. You were actually the first SK I ever met, and were the inspiration for me to make my SK all those years ago.
I’ve started playing a bit on the new Vox server on EQ, just a necro and wiz so far. I’ve also got a warlock and a SK on EQ2: lvl8 WL on Freeport and lvl30 Arasai SK on Permafrost. I’m trying but I just can’t get in to EQ/EQ2 like I did on EQOA. My EQ2 SK is from 2008, the rest are new. I can’t remember my old account info from Pre-PoP EQ, I ditched the game when EQOA came out and made a new account. I had a nec way back then but didn’t get far (shitty comp back in 1999!).

I’m shocked to hear the game is shutting down.
I’m 22 years old now, and when I was playing this game I was 14 or so. It might seem funny and everything but this game was a safe haven for me, I’ll always love it. I’ll always remember and cherish names of people I met like Anedia, Crimson Legion, Ndien, Fission, Aneii.. butterflies, Ramaden/Dramacydal my fave canadian gnome, Bless elf enchanter who ended up being my RL friend after we discovered we go to the same school in game, Keepers of The Blue Flame.. my newb guild, Venris (who I saw posted on here), there were two people I girl and a guy I played with from like my first week playing and I can’t remember their names but I’ll always remember being guilded with them and having fun at croc camp near BBW. I hope they are all healthy and happy and doing well. I’ll never forget my first coach run with Anedia, little gnome cleric who I was amazed by took me to many of the coaches one morning and I was in awe at the game, it being my first mmo. Moradhim and Fayspire will always be fond memories where so many of my newb days took place, running through the orc tunnel with my friends, making it over the mountain just to go say hi to our other friends in Fayspire on the other side was such an accomplishment. It was a different accomplishment than anything in WoW, you got no quest for it, you got no armor piece for it, it wasnt instanced, u just did it because u wanted to meet up with your friends in another city. Chakra Village near moradhim where I’d have little newb guild meetings with everyone… so nice to look back at. I’ll never forget one of my first raids, Siliskor with Crimson Legion. Aeyinar with Rights was amazing fun too, Noroxus with Decimation, and most notably taking part in the first main tank server wide of CT with Cosa Nostra where I spent the last of my EQOA days. What a game. I’ll never forget the place.. that’s for sure. Love every one of you guys who I played with back then.
I’ll be in game as much as I can be until the servers close down.. Hope to see many familiar faces on my dwarf in these last days on castle lightwolf. /salute. Anyone want to stay in touch email me sevrommo@gmail.com as I mostly play games under that name now (still play as Slaith/Slaithin someitmes though). Any old EQOA players feel free to add my PSN too, sevvro
will miss it all
Heya, I was in Rites of The Four Horsemen too, pre-Fronts and a little while after Frontiers came out (then I left in 2006). My main was Zanitar, 60 Power path Lich Necromancer. Other high level was Arithomisius, 60 Power path Channeler Wizard. My first character that got in Rites was Northalius, 49 (at the time I got in) Ranger. I remember them bringing me to IoD at 49, but they told me to get out quick afterward and ding 50 so I don’t get debt if I died. lol! Was funny.
I miss pre-Frontiers EQOA the most. I loved being scared crapless when walking around alone on IoD at 50 (when the guild wasn’t raiding). Was so fun!
I’ll always love remembering my groups that I join to camp Tae Ew and farm Ruby armor in CT on my 50 Ranger. I always wanted the full set but sadly I only managed to get leggings and gloves I believe.
*sigh* Those were the days.
Even though I’ve not played since 2006, I am also sad to see it go for good. I especially feel bad for those that came back or newly playing it now expecting to get high level and raid, etc.

hey there, you remember Pancreas? my SK was Sidius and Wiz Wiickerman, I remember Pancreas was in Betrayed a little while probably the most familiar name.

Laenei and Cere of PPO here. Not well known at all, but to those I considered friends, know that you were some of my favorite people ever. I wouldn’t trade those memories for all the money in the world.

I’ve been on EQOA since a couple months after it was released, and never looked back. This game has been a companion throughout the majority of my formative teenage years and I have to say that many a lesson was learned on EQ. I learned people skills, honed my math skills and made many many friends. This game has brought my family closer, as we’ve all played it throughout the years together, leveling numerous 60′s together and building a guild on PPO (SLAYTANIC WHERMACHT). I’m heartbroken to see EQOA go out like this, especially with the reasoning of allowing the developers to work on new games. They haven’t touched EQOA since March 2009 so why decide to kill it now? I highly doubt after this I’ll put this much time and effort into another game especially one from SOE, why? Because no other game will ever compare to Evercrack. Great memories that I’ll remember forever, and I know this game will leave the same fond impression on many others hearts as well. Long live EQOA!

My heart is breaking from reading every post on any website about the game shutting down and how much it’s affecting my fellow EQOA brethren. I too remember first logging into the game. I started so many characters when I first started playing and never really settled on one until I learned the great art of grinding lol. No game has been able to captivate me as much as EQOA and I don’t believe one ever will. I have seen and done it all on EQOA and yet I am still willing to pay the 14.99 a month(even though it should have always stayed 9.99) with no content updates or patches of any sort(like we’ve gotten one in the last year anyway….) but I don’t believe at this point that we can save EQOA. I pray we can. If anybody still plays I will be on in the coming weeks before its end just to celebrate something I so insanely enjoyed, I just can’t believe it’s going to be gone. Long Live CLW.

So many memories, started out shortly after launch in 03′, I remember running around the countryside and essentially leveling myself solo to about level 30 before I ever really started grouping…can you say anti-social? LOL. I met up with my long time buds, (and eventual perma-group) of Brandnowell a Human Bard, Mundell a Human Ranger & Xanthor a Human Druid.
Met up later on with some other good long term friends in the game; Jakob an Elf Druid & his girlfriend; Adelina an Elf Ranger. I met Jayna the nicest Barbarian Shaman I ever met, great girl. Alane a Dark Elf SK & Yunelcia a Dark Elf Wiz were also long time friends I met shortly after Frontiers was released while I was, you guessed it; soloing! Haha. Roygar, Zapp, Zoolander, Aumarea, Awiziam, Berube, Orbius, Slippery, Rocco, Ohladahn, Sheen, Mouko, Kordana, Franx, Chepo, Thievin, and the list goes on and on. Sad there are others I know I’ve forgotten, but I still wouldn’t trade the memories for anything!
Gonna start up on Everquest here any day now, will most likely re-make a SK named Aquinos if it’s available, hope to meet up with some old friends again!
Sad to see the game go, lots of great memories since starting in March 2003. My main was a bard on DH named Windwoven, of the guild The Order of the Sleepless Knights (a great group of people who have adventured together in many other MMOs since).
Most of the folks in OOTSK found their way to the guild by way of another guild on DH – The Vertically Challenged. The VC was a max level 20 guild of dwarves, gnomes, and halflings, who willingly capped their level in order to challenge themselves and enjoy the aspects of the game that many people ignored in the rush to 60. My toon in the VC was a dwarf warrior named Talonthorn. On Talon I had the pleasure of “MT’ing” many near insurmountable challenges with lots of other great folks like Berkin, Kazzy, Gnellie, Davlannan, Pieman, Crusoe, Zappitoya – so many more, wish I could remember all the names… Taking to the depths of Blackburrow, Castle Felstar, Runnyeye, and so many other places at level 20 were amazing challenges and memories. Still remember one night we made our way to Elephant Graveyard and put on a good showing for the XP’ers there, launching a mass shortie assault on an Eye of Xrag…
Will miss the game a lot. Off and on I’ve been trying to build out an EQOA archive at eqoa.wikia.com, I guess mostly for knowing the end would come eventually, and wanting to capture as much of the game as possible before it was gone. Would be great if others could also take some time to contribute and help ensure the lore and legacy of this game lives on after March 2012…

I was Spiritbreakr, Blood Slayer/Shadowknight, Marrs Fist. I knew from the start (Oct 03) that I wanted to become rich and draped in the finest finery this game could offer. I grouped at first but was new to MMO’s and didn’t fully grasp the mechanics of my class and the social aspect of it all. I learned by soloing and a few cool players who taught me different techniques for pulling and proper use of gear (thanks, Meranda, I miss you). I was soon soling all over Norrath, exploring alone, joining the occasional group and discovering cool places like the ratmen camp and Syndar’s island. I farmed ultra rares and sold them at ridiculous prices and got PAID. My name soon became synonymous with ‘ultra rare and expensive’ and I had dedicated clients. Made tons of friends I’ll NEVER forget, raided major mobs and saw some of the rarest mobs in game. I will NEVER forget it.
I never thought I’d feel like I do right now, as if I’ve suffered a death, almost .I prepared myself for it, but I’ll truly miss the coachmen, the grass snakes, Skahyir, all of it. I’ll especially miss the friends. Toss, Meschele, Jaxxs, Gemmie, Pryix, Blondmoment…too many to name you all but the ENTIRE guild Uncensored I love you all and thanks for affecting me as a human being.
No gaming experience has ever affected me in this way and I don’t think one ever will. I’m not immediately going to another MMO, but I’ve just begun Red Dead Redemption (GOtY edition) and it’s a whole new world (and a massive one). Good luck and fortune to any former EQOA players who read this, and even if I never met you, ‘Hail’!
-Spiritbreakr, Oct 2003-Mar 2012
I just grabbed Red Dead GOTY myself the other day lol, I dipped into the undead nightmare a little bit but I’m back on finishing the main game before I do the zombies too much yet. The ranching missions and the bounties are most of the ones that I’ve done so far, the ranching ones are kinda fun running the herds and stuff.

I was around when the game first launched, jumped on the WoW bandwagon around 06′.
Really miss the game, definitely the most memorable gaming experience I had the pleasure of experiencing. Definitely broke my heart when I got the email that it was shutting down for good. It always seemed like an alternate real world to me, how can you shut a world down? Thanks for all the great times guys.
All the best, see you in another life.
And Romenadan, you crazy *&#! What’s up! I sent you a friend req on FB, check it out.
