Easy question. Going to compare this with Poll #2, How Cynical Are you?

Actually, pretend the last question says 4+ years.

FYI - been playing since Beta 2 in October of 1998. I played a Half-Elf Paladin named James, then switiched to a druid named Stewwy at release because Paladin's couldn't solo. hehe I'll edit this and delete it if you really didn't want replies to this Panamah. :)

That's ok! You've been playing almost a year longer than I have then. :)

are you sure you mean 1998 or 1997 for beta?
im sure my creation date on Ainianu was july 98 and i started the day Erollisi Marr server opened i think (official release, after bata)

Official release was March 16th 1999.

Beta 1 started in the summer of 1998.

Beta 2 in the fall of 1998.

My amin character Stewwy was born March 13th 1999. Someone tell me how I did that when release was March 16th? hehe

Lotta old timers here!

/em shuffles off on her cane.

I've been playing between 2 and 3 years. I started in the summer of 2001 and it's almost 2004 now so I think that's about right...

March 16, 1999

Was active in the forum when it went frmo Beta 1 to Beta 2 but didn't make the cut for Beta.

1999, Not sure if it was March or April. I have to look at my old char's. I started playing a druid on Aug 8th, 2000.

since kunark release

I think my character started in April of May of 1999.

I had the game about a year before that, just never installed it until a coworker at EA got me to start.

July 17, 1999 my druid was born.
EQ was being played by my husband and two kids for a few months before that. :p

October 99.

Release day!

(First toon was a half elf ranger, I played her for a week and tried a couple others. Tia was created Mar. 26, 1999.)

Mar. 99 (arrived pretty late in Austria)

September 99 I made Menolen my Half-Elf Ranger on Tribunal. Where he still sits at level 22. :devil:

I've been playing since the final beta phase. I created a wood elf ranger and carried that over to the Bristlebane server when the game was released. I played the ranger up to lvl 23 before I created Aerodol on August 23, 1999.

I retired him for the most part in September of 2003 and started playing my Erudite Shadowknight almost exclusively. I break out the druid when I want to solo or when I forget that I like to melee more now than I like to nuke and heal.

Aerodol Zephyrmoor <The Imperium Knights>
Lvl 60 Hierophant
Bristlebane

Started a Paladin Jan 2001 then started my druid 03/30/01. Birthday almost here :)

1 AUG 99 (Korea time where I was stationed, Osan AB. 31 JUL 99 according to SOE, stateside time). Started on Xegony with this same character that has always been my "main" and I still enjoy the most. Transferred to the new server 7th Hammer when it opened upon Kunark release.

Opened my account the week of May 7th, 1999... Had my appendix out.
Couldn't sit long enough to actually play for a month.
Started my Bard on Prexus June 17th 99.
Took 9 months off.
Came to Xegony in Feb 2001.

Began May 2001 on Rallos and moved to Lanys in July of that year.
