    We were about to do Tower of Discord for the hard title. This is how we tried to get spots in raid. And uh, goats.

    Dont have screenshot but figured id share, Back when Planes of Power was the latest expansion i was playing a Chanter, Mom was playing a druid. This is back when charm was godly. so Mom and I started a mini raid to kill the minis in PoStorms for the BoT flag. well we both charmed frogs and hasted them. Pulled mini, tank died. Everyone else systematically died by the time the mob was 80% except me (chanter), mom (druid) and our 2 hasted froggies. We managed to kill the mini by tash, snare agro pulling. Took forever. Keep in mind this mob at the time took 12-18 people to kill. Hard to visualize this but this was one of my favorite moments.

    No screen shot, however, it was before Solusek Ro and Bristlebane merged long ago. It was the last night on Solusek Ro as we knew it. A GM (Name was Viianaxius) ran this event in East Wastes where everyone was turned into Dragons. This lasted all night until the servers went down. That was a fun and memorable night.

    RIP Solro!

    The Finding/Saving Fironia Vie quest on Morell Thule in 2005. Came across it in Butcherblock, and followed it all the way to the end (well, at least to the Tower of Frozen Shadow) were Fironia Vie was imprisoned and had to be released. Wasn't part of an uber guild that could do the revamped ToFS for it, so didn't get the see the end (nor get the title), but...did have a part to play in getting it that far.

    I had come across small glowing motes on the path in Butcherblock, which were parts of Fironia Vie's cloak (4x Torn piece of fabric)...that led to a dwarf on the docks in BB, and then to Felwithe, and then a merry chase across Norrath with others from my guild and others in general chat (and made separate channels as there were different rewards - a belt, a cloak, a ring..) trying to find NPC's that didn't exist previously. Following the breadcrumbs the devs had left for us - the Thex Crest, a delicate diary page, a scrawled room receipt..

    Ended up very early one morning discovering Galeth Veredeth (Fironia Vie's mentor) in Thurgadin, and after going through a wall of text and trying different things escorted him from Thurgadin through Great Divide and through the giants to Wakening Lands and the Plane of Growth portal in a single group (almost wiped a small group multiple times to random spawn enemies - "a shadowed ambusher", which were higher level than most of us..thanks to Alchem, an uberguild Shammy at the time, we survived), where he spoke with the Avatar of Tunare, who awarded a limited number of artifacts (I got a belt, my wife's druid got a necklace).

    After that, Galeth went to Iceclad and was surrounded by a group of other NPC's, and we followed the trail to ToFS where Fironia Vie was imprisoned, and beat outside mobs (who were tough but killable) but the first floor guards were either bugged or just too tough to beat )although I think the outside NPC's were waiting for collection of items from inside the tower). I think Triune or Reviction or Fury's Edge (or a combination of the three..can't remember) ended up beating the event.

    Didn't sleep for almost two days, Did a writeup and sent it to Allakhazam.

    Most memorable event (for me) ever. Had never seen an NPC go between zones before.

    My only surviving screenshots from then:

    And a shot from inside the tower, where we weren't having any luck...but someone linked one of the rewards that someone from another server apparently received:

    2 of the mobs you had to beat down in front of ToFS:

    After this (not long after) there was the battle between Lanys T'Vyl and Fironia Vie over the outpost of Fironia Vie, outside the Dreadlands, which was the first time I ever saw the characters in game:

    Was a lot of fun. Well done to the Devs who made this..it was amazing for this non-uber Ranger to be part of it.

    You have absolutely no idea how jealous I am that you got to participate in that event. It ranks right up there with Best of the Best in terms of server wide events, and awakening the Sleeper.

    Here's an old, the only quality I have, screenshot of my guildmate Bloggz, who won the warrior BotB on The Rathe. I don't remember who won the serverwide championship. (Is there a definitive list anywhere? Google doesn't show all of them.) He built a computer for me in 2001 or so!

    My fav screenshot is long lost. It is from the first time my guild raided fear back in the day on the old Karana server. We wiped and then wiped again on the cr's and then wiped two more times before finally getting it figured out. In between our own wipes, two more guilds went in and wiped as well. Then came the most epic CF ever as three guilds all went into Fear at the same time to do their CR's. The was EPIC! You couldn't look anywhere but down due to lag. Naked players looting corpses everywhere, just trying to get their precious gear back and get out before something ate them. it was awesome!

    For new players to whom this may not make sense, in the old days if you died you had to run back to where you were killed and loot your gear from your corpse. Many of us, myself included kept at least one spare set of gear in the bank at all times just for that reason. And if you didn't get your corpse looted in...how long was it? Seven days? I forget. Anyway, if you didn't loot your corpse it would rot and you would lose all your hard earned gear. Good times...

    I was proudly killed by Kabor and co. when I ran unknowingly out of the tunnel from FV to the DL. When I saw the army down there I thought, neato! And continued on my merry way to Karnor's. Never made it. That was a very cool event.

    Man I had some great screenshots years ago... I had some from Beta as well as screenshots over the years of horrible mistakes and graphics bugs... im going to have to see if I can find them all. :(

    A sight we will never, ever see again. 4 GMs gathered in one spot.

    Or for that matter, 3 GMs.

    GMs are a myth now a days.

    And I wish they'd bring back Best of the Best. Sadly, thrown aside for everything else it seems.

    No shots unfortunately, but my best memory was taking out Phinny--honestly, Kedge at large--with a PUG group. The sense of wonder, swimming across that nightmarish lake in Dagnor's, only to find that tiny entrance, and not knowing whether a hammerhead or lack of EB was going to kill you first, was an insane rush. Amazing nightmarish descent with all the trap doors, especially before they lit the place up...then you'd come to that tiled room with the pit. Incredible.

    Beyond that, merely starting in Kelethin as a ranger, staring down from the bridges, and hearing that amazing music...

    Here are some of my favorites.

    Old school UI (with dwarfette quadruplets :) ). Era around 2002 or 2003.

    Shimmering Pearl screenshot (which had to be sent to the holder of the "Ragefire" list on Morell Thule. Without this I couldn't be added to the line to kill and get my 1.0 cleric epic.
    - Ended up being the 2nd person on Morell Thule to get their epic after Ragefire was made triggerable in Skyfire.

    The day before the Morell Thule + Erollisi Marr server merges. A GM came through the zones and made everyone gnomes. This screenshot is in Dreadlands.

    2002 (Planes of Power came out). Got my first crit ever on a group heal, in Plane of Valor. (Drakah's UI there).

    Fast forward to 2007 - Vex Thal Fabled, open raids on Erollisi Marr. These were the raid leaders who ran them during the EQ anniversary that year.

    Stuck in the "loc" room while trying to do the cleric epic ornamentation fight. (Didn't have my picture still of the kitty room).
