I remember that, I was playing some wizard for that. Prophis? Maybe. I remember Feamir ran to Skyshrine to see what the Sleeper did there and hear the shouts :P

I fell asleep once that I can remember. Vex thal I think. By asleep I mean out, not a few minutes of dozing. That was more frequent.

I wish I had had a role for which I could get away with falling asleep during the Rathe Council.   Setting bad precedent in game design for all future games!

Well can say I never fell asleep during the Council fight.

I was on Council lockdown, so if I fell asleep Arak and Sayv would kill me.

I can state with a reasonable degree of certainty that, after 3 boxing 3 enchanters for that shit for several hours, I'd have been more likely to drive up to Seattle to murder you than either of them!

At least you got to hail the fucker for your Time quest piece after we beat it.  I didn't even get to do that the first time!  I still remember Kerrigan (man how I miss her *sniff*), Vardia and a couple others sneaking into Time before everybody was keyed.  Sayvoxia mad was something entertaining to see.

We went in before all were flagged with a group , to check things out, i don't remember who all went though but we did get a few drops like the regen earring and what not before we started clearing for real.

You know, I think I might have been there for that.  Though maybe not, it has been a very long time.

If I recall, my toon's name were a necro named calli fiendish and a rogue named mesdame demure.

Ya, I have no idea what you are talking about.

I was in blades of wrath when we first went into the sleepers tomb during the velious expansion.  I was certaintly not around after anything :)  I stopped playing around the start of the next expansion after BoW had defeated pretty much everything in velious.

The only name I remember on these forums is dagga though I am sure i'd have forgotten many others regardless, it has been 8 years.

I'm sure you know some people here - even if you don't think so.  I know I used to talk to you a lot way back when I was playing Xess, and certainly when I was playing Zophim.

I remember you Calli. :)  Heya Johny and Devo!  Nah, I didn't get into PoTime on the first round.  I was playing someone's enchanter for that first Rathe kill.  I remember having to go to the bathroom really really bad while I sat there continuously mezing.

It's strange.  I have been thinking a lot about EQ lately.  I miss the old days for sure.  I have this itch to just run around the old lands but I don't want to go through the pain of reinstalling, etc.  I think for me the days of Kunark and early Velious will be the best days in EQ.  They are only tied with PoP as a member of BoW.  Even though the flags were a pain in the ass (my wife still remembers me begging to make a "flag" raid so as to not fall behind), they were great times.  Though, I think I never did make a Karana raid.  I think you played me for that flag, Johny.

Holy fucktoast!

Amen!

And for the record, I wasn't asleep... I was dead... in Skyfire... at level 57 to a Fire Elemental.

Lava baths + bandages = 100% health and stupid silly deaths that certain snarky inkie necro/wizard types remember to this day.

Truth to tell it was one the funniest deaths I ever took.
Title: Re: So this one time is Velious...
Post by: Amenthes on April 04, 2008, 04:56:30 pm
its the funniest one ive heard of still   ;)


how ya doing?
Title: Re: So this one time is Velious...
Post by: Roehm on April 05, 2008, 07:21:34 am
Doing well. Still working at Land O'Lakes doing truck and rail logistics for our large animal and companion animal feed mills. This will be my 9th year there. Longest I've ever worked anywhere.

Played WoW with BoW for a bit over a year but lost interest in it since there's nothing really that hard in it once you figure out which silly little used ability from one class is the key to the strat to use against ubermob 01. Plus, I was a hunter and just standing back and shooting at mobs or using some sting every 30 seconds got old fast.

Tried my hand at EVE Online, it was fun but basically a spreadsheet with explosions.

Recently quit playing CoH/V. I'd been playing it on and off for the last couple of years, fun game that's been improving for awhile but without a steady group it gets repetitive.

Actually been toying with the idea of going back to EQ2 and seeing what kind of trouble I can get into with my brother (who is married with two kids nowadays, omg).

So as far as fun, I've been playing Neverwinter Nights 2 and it's expansion pack and whatever shooters come down the pike and doing my newest hobby, cooking. I used to cook all the time before I got married and just recently took it up again when my wife got moved to swing shifts to help her out some and remembered how much I love to cook. I've been trying all kinds of new stuff.

How the hell are you?

Post by: Nurika on April 05, 2008, 11:52:20 pm
Heyas Roehm !

I miss EQ1. There hasn't been a game that I can say "dam, i remember this and remember that" I've tried WoW for a bit and Vanguard but it just doesn't feel the same as when I used to play EQ. I'm gonna go out on a limb and say that I'm not the only one feeling this way. Just the other day I was talking to a RL friend of mine that I used to have so much fun AFTER work because I was going to kill <insert_random_uber_mob_here> once I get off work.

The thing that gets me is that it's been over 3 years since I've played EQ1 and for me to miss it that much means that it must've been 1 helluva game and had a lasting imprint on my life.

For the past year, I've been trying to keep my life busy. I met a few peeps in RL and we've opened a couple of clubs in San Francisco area catering to all sorts of peeps. So if any ex-BoWs are in the Bay Area for vacation and wanna party, lemme know  ;D


Take care folks !

Heh,

you working with Land O'Lakes in MN?  (last i heard you were in Seattle)  heh wow was fun until they released battlegrounds then all the pvp in the game felt artificial.  quit that game and returned a couple times, but quit it recently and went back to eq2.  if ya start playing again send me a line at butcherblock.abject

Been screwed around by my school for a while so taking a year off, figured i should prolly stop paying them just to keep paying them more.  so ive just been around playing with my new puppy, playing games and hunting all year. 

say hi to your bro for me.

NWN 2 is fun, but why the heck did they go back to the Baldur's Gate, everyone is frozen when you talk to someone crap. It is so annoying when playing with a group of people!
Title: Re: So this one time is Velious...
Post by: Roehm on April 06, 2008, 02:29:27 pm
Yeah still working in Seattle (actually Bellevue, we moved across Lake Washington a few years ago from our Queen Anne offices) but our home offices are based in Minnesota.

What's up Nurkia? Where in San Francisco? My family is fourth generation Bay Area. My dad grew up in San Rafael and I grew up across the Bay Bridge in Contra Costa County. We moved when I was in grade school, aka the Stone Age.

Maddy, never played NWN 2 with others just playing different classes and builds thru the game. Is the game fun in multi?

And Amen, if I do get cranked back up in EQ2 I will ring you up.
Title: Re: So this one time is Velious...
Post by: Madeline on April 06, 2008, 04:41:46 pm
NWN 2 is fun with other players, if they are the right ones. We had a blast with the original. The current problem with NWN 2 is every time you talk to an npc, everyone's screen freezes and you are forced to read through the text.

I imagine they were trying to avoid the original problem where random quests from other people would show up in your quest log and then you would activate a quest and not realize what happened because you were too far away see the text.

Our small group still plays and has fun, but I still hate that aspect of it :P
