EverQuest memories

I played EQ from 2000 to around 2002 or so(Kunark-Planes of Power, Dadaph on the Luclin server), and I still occasionally pop into both p1999 green and the latest tlp server Yelinak for some casual lvling.

I love the game, story and atmosphere and memories.

So I wanted to explore that in a piece of fanart. This shows the game's mascot and boxart babe, Firiona Vie, standing in front of the East Commonlands tunnel, which is the main hub of the game, at least until the Luclin expansion hit. Also felt like adding some typical OOC dialogue you'd probably hear in that zone.

The Undead Tower in the Commonlands

This is what the Undead Tower in the Commonlands looks like in 2025. The zone got an update a while ago.

I traveled back through the Commonlands to go find Triisu who had bound herself in South Ro. She was drinking away her sorrows.

As Triisu and I headed back toward Kithicor Forest, I informed everyone about my new plan. “We are going to AVOID the zombies this time. K guys?”

“Yep.” Triisu agreed with my plan.

“Goldie?” I asked. No response. I had a feeling Goldie had NO intention to avoid the zombies. That wouldn’t do. “Goldie do you comply?”

“More like... GOLDIE WE ARE NOT GOING TO ENGAGE THE ENEMY!!!!!” Triisu pressed.

We headed for our next connection: The Commonlands. Goldie still hadn’t regrouped. On the way, I talked to Pardor the Blessed who... sounded like he was in some kind of trouble...

“Oh please! You must help me! Please tell me you are sent from Edwardian. I fear the worst from these Militia soldiers.”

Since we weren’t sent from Edwardian, there was nothing we could do for him at the moment, but maybe after the journey was over we could revisit his quest.

I was just about to go back and find Goldie, when she ended up finding her way on her own.

“KICKTORY!” Goldie cried.

We continued down the road to our next destination.
