And I bought the original because it was on sale... then since RoK wasn't sold by itself, only bundled with the original EQ, I ended up wasting $20 instead of saving it. Great start to my EQ career. My first character was a human warrior named Ieros. After getting frustrated playing him as I couldn't find any armor or decent weapons (EQ was NOT newbie-friendly back then), I started a new character, a girl barbarian shaman. Shaman because back in those days Spirit of Wolf was literally essential, Barbarian because I didn't want the exp penalty that ogres and trolls got, and girl because honestly female barbarians in EQ1 were hot and I was also a teenager so that ''really mattered'' back then. And I discovered that I liked playing a shaman much better than a warrior, so Auorali ended up as my main character. I made it to the rank of Guild Officer in a guild called Nightwatch of Norrath (Saryrn server). Unfortunately when the Shadows of Luclin expansion came out, I had to quit. My computer had a crappy old Intel Celeron processor, the folks wouldn't spring for a new one, and I missed a year and a half. By the time I got back, my guild had imploded, all my friends were 30 levels above me, and I couldn't level quickly enough to keep up with them. I could never level quickly in EQ1, and I eventually gave up on playing it. The average level was practically the maximum level, and I was next to useless in a group because I would be the only non-twink, with everyone else prepped with gear their lvl 70 alts had transferred to them. The thing that killed EQ1 for me was spending 1000 plat on a spell that turned out to be useless. It was an "upgrade" of my summon spirit companion spell, that turned out to raise the thing by one level. Grr. I don't remember exactly when this happened, but it was what made me give up on EQ1. And in 2006 I decided to check out EQ2. I went back to EQ1 for a little while in 2013. It was fun as long as the nostalgia lasted. Then I re-decided I liked EQ2 better on account of in EQ1 if you're playing a shaman, for every minute you spend doing anything you spend two minutes meditating.
