Origins Server is Live! The Journey of Ratbeard begins

I played for 3 hours last night and Willow Wood was just how I remembered it. I will be sticking to Origins! Live lost me years ago.

I really enjoyed this starting island especially when encountering npcs that spoke a different language that you could learn and finally find out what they were saying

The nostalgia from playing last night was insane. I'm so ready for EQ3 here's hoping they can actually make it happen.

Good stuff Flynn! We need more dapper rat men in mmos. The Skrit in GW2 would be an amazing race to play.

I was a hardcore eq1 player and i long to have that first time experience again. A bunch of us moved on to EQ2 and i think i made it to 60 but it just didnt hold us as much as EQ1 did and we moved on to other games quite quickly. Just rolled a Necro on this server and gonna see if I can reignite that spark.

im just gonna be straight, we can only roll it back so many times lol we have done this 100 times. Ready for EQ3

EQ was my "good god, can a gaming experience really be this addicting" game. I used to play so many hours at a time I didn't eat or drink and didn't notice. It was also the game that made me understand addiction.. in a 5 year period I had almost 3 years of game time. I figured out I needed to play a little less. EQ2 was never as good, but that this not saying its not a better game, it's just like music, that song you loved as a youth will always be your favorite even if other songs might be better. EQ was just my first HOLY HECK IS THIS COOL moment, better stuff has happened, but that moment will never be recreated. I have played both EQ and EQ2 in the last 5 years and I can't get into them again. But it is a great trip back to the past.

Im thowing all my eggs in the monsters and memories basket. If that doesnt take me back to the 1990s, then im afraid im truly stuck in the present.

When you watch gameplay for this game, it makes you realize why wow was so popular in 2004

WoW hardcore player here looking for something else, subbed earlier to try this out and having a blast with my friend! Rolled a paladin (my main in every mmo) and he rolled a fury

I couldn't ever get into EQ2 for some reason, I think it was the combat system.

I think what they should do is run eq1 to PoP. Then start adding new content from there. A season of discovery for eq1.

Thanks, I think RBF C U on the next one man.👍✌

Gonna watch this when I get home, what platform and when are you usually live?

How Origin did they go? Do you pick your class right away or is like launch where pick a general role at creation and slowly reach your class over a few levels.

Here's hoping EQ3 is more like EQ1 and not EQ2

I made a froglok Templar. I never got big into EQ2 back in the day, but I did play it a bit at launch and switched to WoW. No idea if Templar is good.

What's the closest I can get to just a good ole EQ1 human enchanter from Qeynos?

INGRID!!!!!!

Ever “fetch” Quest 2.
