My gaming history
During my last 6 years with online gaming I have met some awesome people. Many of which I still talk to, even though they no longer play the game (Camdyn, Luquecia, Canepick ).
These turned RL (real life) friendships are ones that have proven to be true and unforgettable.
Along with playing Everquest, I have also tested the waters with other online games. I was actually into one other game before I met Everquest. Anarchy Online. I still get a wild hair once in a while and play it. My very first character was an Engineer named Elvirus. She quickly grew in popularity because of her ability to create augments and control robots. This was a prime trade skill for making fast credits (in-game money).
I took a very long break from Anarchy Online after a new CD burner became over-eager with the CD and shattered it.
During this break, I played Everquest. My fist love is Nomika Blackfists, a High Elf cleric. I shared this account with one other person, so my online time was shared, also. I managed to get her to level 45 until I got my own account and computer. With that new account I created Rashel, yet another cleric, only I decided to go evil and create a Dark Elf.
Since this was the time Luclin was discovered, being evil wasn't quite as tedious as the years before. That was kind of disappointing and defeated the purpose of being evil, in my opinion.
Anyway, onto my adventures...I wanted a way to port the lovely Nomika around as I two boxed her, so I created Pattie. She came from the land of the halflings. I played her for 42 levels, where she now sits as my bazaar character, so sad.
Around this time, I became alt happy so I now have created:
Duchess Rashel Blacklablesociety 75 Dark Elf Cleric:
Shailea Refusetobowdown 71 Vah Shir Shaman:
Velloria Death'Touch 54 Dark Elf Shadowknight
Sanwaan 43 Wood Elf Bard
Pattie 42 Halfling Druid
Dharlah Death'Reaper 35 Gnome Necromancer
Since the account came from a friend of mine he had already created:
Eadric 54 Erudite Enchanter
I don't play him as much as I would have liked to, I was just into my shaman far too much to play a whimp like an enchanter. har har
Also a few that didn't make the cut:
Darkhour 20 Frog Paladin (Deleted)
Hemidodge 20 Dwarf Berserker (Deleted)
I've taken several breaks from Everquest. My first big break was taken to enjoy the world of Dark Ages of Camelot. My main character was Dwilah a level 40 Inconnu Necromancer of the Albion Realm. I made a couple of alts, one was Zadean a Friar.
Some real life events took place and I haven't went back to the game since. I do think about playing it once in a while.
A few months after being gameless, I ventured on back to Everquest. Upon this decision, I discovered so many friends had left the game! I was basically left alone with the exception of a chat channel some buddies and I created a few years back. I was happy to see that still existed.
I had a job change shortly after this, which led me to play different hours than most on my server did, so I was left to solo, with a cleric *snicker*. I decided to give Everquest a break until my RL straighten up a bit. During that time, I played Anarchy Online again. That is when I created yet another Engineer, on a new account. I was hoping to get back what I'd lost with the first account. I got Velloria to level 54 before I was limited by expansions. I couldn't progress much farther with out paying for the game.
At this time, my RL straightened out, as hoped and I went back to Everquest, only taking a few short breaks about a couple months at a time.
One of my RL friends suggested I join World of Warcraft. Since I also had an old Everquest bud who went there, I jumped on that idea. An account was handed to me to do with it what I wanted. I hooked up with my old Everquest bud and her hubby and played for about a month. I created a tauren shaman named Shailea. I got her to level 20 before I decided World of Warcraft wasn't really for me. So, back to Everquest I went.
So, as you can see, my online life hasn't been boring or lacking at all! The following is a few games I've played so far, ones that have stuck with me anyway:
