They should keep all the game play and everything the same in everquest and just re-do all the graphics.

Wish I could remember my username. No idea what e-mail address I was using back then.
EDIT: Guess it doesn't matter, I don't even see Saryrn on the server list.

I logged back in about a week ago, basically ran my gnome wizard around PoK for a bit, gated back to Ro and checked out Freeport. Hard to believe they still haven't updated the graphics in all this time.
One nice thing about F2P in EQ vs. F2P in EQ2 - they didn't reduce your inventory slots to near nothing, so those of us with older characters don't have to buy more slots before we can even start playing.

I logged in but couldn't find any toons on the servers. I had not thought that the server I was on could be deleted! I do not even remember the server name.
Where's Mo? I bet he can remember the server name.

All of the old servers were merged, so even if you knew the name it wouldn't help unless you were one of the 10% that kept their name or if you can figure out where it merged to. Somehow, all of my toons' names were preserved in the merges, even though my server (Innoruuk) doesn't exist anymore.

Apparently the last place I had camped in was Kelethin...logging my ranger in and hearing that Kelethin music again was pretty nostalgic.
Nothing has changed except for the lack of corpse piles at the bottom of the elevators.

The tutorial zone thing for new players they added made me want to tear my eyes out. I want my stomped-to-death-by-Fippy-Darkpaw-nostalgia-fix, not some half-assed WoW knock-off quest chain that practically throws free levels at you.

Amen to that.
Still plenty of that after there, though.

That sucks...they should be there somewhere.
I was surprised my ranger was still there considering the last expansion I played on was Velius.

My MMO career begins with DAoC (after SI release). Sometimes I ask myself if I missed something. I remember when Ultima went--well--Online and how much that idea intrigued me, but I was going to school back then and the costs (telephone fees + online fees and UO subscription) were simply way too much to even thing about that.

I have some good memories from EQ but if I look at it objectively playing that game obsessively was probably the worst decision I've ever made in my life.

My buddy and I moved from playing Icewind Dale on a network to trying this 'new' EQ thing, which iirc was between Kunark and Velious releases. At least, the game we got had Kunark. So EQ was my first real introduction to an mmo. I did try Ultima Online while I was stationed in Germany, but as mentioned above, between the connection and phone costs, it was too pricey to play. Also lag.
I loved me some EQ and have fond memories of it, but I also recall the huge upgrade in graphics games have had since, and I really hated the crap with mobs coming through walls and attacking through floors and stuff.
Somehow I doubt my toons exist there. The gnome mage was pretty awesome teamed with my buddy's iksar necro.
