I've never played EQ but I have always been interested in how it was. I just never wanted to pay the $15 since I thought about trying it so late. Maybe I will now.

Like what? I am genuinely curious as I have never played any of the EQ games, though I did play Vanguard for a while (which I am told is really EQ 2 or 3 or something)

I had a dream. It was an incredible dream. When I awoke, I had a huge mess to clean up.

I am sure all my lvl 65+ toons over at EQ will be of a locked race, only playable if you pay.

Along with a couple other MMOs, EQ is an MMO archetype.

I am pretty sure my EQ1 character is of the same stature as some other things -- IE linked to an expired email address -- would require tons of sleuthing and someone on the other side who really wanted to help...

You should have seen the hoops I had to go through to recover my AC1 characters the last time I came back to that one.

That is one problem with passwords -- if you make them secure you never remember them years later.

Considering how much games change over the years it's best to just start a new toon to relearn the game.

I had 700,000 platinum. Maxxed out several craft skills. Rare spells from GoD, OOW. Mostly Plane of Time level gear.

Even if I wanted to start over it would be worth it just to get my stuff -- essentially.

I'm proud of having a wood elf druid with the ability to enchant plains pebbles.
