    While i do understand that with a game Thats over 20 years old, there are plenty of people that can call them selves veteran but still have missed out on some iconic history that some of would consider part of what makes us "veteran".

    This is not to imply that some are "more veteran" then others. This is just a post to share some fun facts or history that some EQI lovers may have missed out on.

    I encourage others post some fun history they remember or want to share here as well.

    I look forward to hearing/seeing your memories.

    SKATER GNOME!

    Just to kick of this thread. i wanted to share a fun and (in its time) iconic entity in the EQ community. While i do not know how well these stories will translate to today or to a newer group, i hope that some people here will discover this as something new to make them smile or will be a trip down memory lane for others.

    I remember PvP before cross-teaming, where it was a glorious race-war. :cool:

    Witnessing a beam PL in plane of shadows during RoF. Also experiencing an entire economy overhaul when server transferring gets opened to your server.

    OMG, so many call backs to the old days. Here is one for the old peeps: Train to zone in Sol B and having a old model ogre or troll AFK at the zone line blocking your out.

    i might be able to one up you here. back when coin had weight, we would dump a ton of copper on pawns in the FP newbie area and watch newbies get glued to the spot when they loop them.

    Is that what they do over on zek now? I remember it was VERY frowned upon back in my vallon zek days

    I think guilds started cross-teaming after pop/ldon(around gates maybe?), at least on tallon zek.

    And yes, it was frowned upon on tallon zek too.
