One of my fondest EQ memories was in NTOV while Vita was watching us(Oryx) do Aaryonnar and them thinking we wouldn't kill it. Sorry Neesh!

Actually finishing Ring of Vulak, piss poor encounter design but it was satisfying.

This is not a "greatest encounter", but more of a "funniest story I remember." I can remember one Saturday when we were planning on doing Plane of Growth, but Aste's guild (Iris) went there first. They spent ALL DAY in the zone trying to get to Tunare for the first time (we had it on farm by then). We kept pressuring Aste to either finish up or we'd go in there and kill Tunare. We gave them a set time when we were going to go in and kill her. The problem was, Iris kept wiping over and over again because they were trying to kill those dudes that you didn't have to kill (the ones that had millions of hitpoints). I remember him telling me that those guys were hard and they kept killing them, and I wanted to tell him that he didn't even need to waste his time killing them, but I was told to not say anything to him so we could kill Tunare.

Eventually, Aste gave up and told us it was ok to go in and kill Tunare, so we zoned in and proceeded to kill her while all of Iris looked on. I even got the wand or whatever it was that she dropped, which was the one item that Aste wanted for himself. And to top it off, after that, Aste and I dueled right there in PoG and I used Raise the Dead (or whatever it was called) to bring Tunare's corpse to life to attack him. Well, one of those glitches happened and I killed him during our duel and he lost experience. What a hell of a way to end a shitty day for him.

Ah, memories.

I can barely remember anything from EQ, and what I do remember is all jumbled up. I do remember that scary bitch coming down those stairs though...with that crooked neck and crazy eyes....I remember an erudite chick winning the first neck she dropped, can't remember her name though.

Lol what are you talking about?

I remember that raid from the Iris perspective. It wasn't too fun :p.

Ah, memories.

Tormax pulls and people who didn't want to listen/get out of the way.

I've always been a fan of Trakanon. The clearing to him and then the lovely blind/teleport/poison combo ... all for a bp with a 100pt heal with 6sec casting time (Mrylokar's) and a handful of teeth. All those teeth in his mouth and only what, three drop at a time?

Good times.

So many good people in Vita and TSO. I really respected those two rival guilds.

Velious raiding was definitely the best. Velious was the heyday.

GoD, Ugh yeah those events were complex to keep it simple.

People current say Underfoot expansion was GoD 2.0 in difficulty, i havent experienced it but I hated the Uqua event.
