NOTE: Originally posted on the EMarr boards in response to some community nostalgia upon the announcement that Magister is retiring from EQ.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
I figured I'd put this in it's own thread since it doesn't technically have much to do with saying goodbye in the Magister thread.
Please note that it's pretty chaotic, I used different naming conventions through the years, and I just named half of them this morning in place of EQ00002.bmp.
Note also that many of these probably have a lot more meaning to me personally or a small group of people from the past than they do for you. Rather than try and censor a list, I figured I'd put all 492 pics up for your work-avoiding pleasure. Maybe you'll see a name you've forgotten, maybe you'll remember an encounter you tackled with your own guild. I just hope at least a few of the images make you smile, and if you're a sap like me, maybe even shed a tear.
I seperated the Nagafen first raid pics because it involved just about everyone over 35th level on the server at the time.
You'll also notice a ton of Veeshan's Peak pictures. Those moments were really meaningful to us, because we were one of only four guilds (we were 3rd) game-wide who cleared VP before Velious came out (the others being Afterlife, Fires of Heaven, and Legacy of Steel).
There are a number of Sleeper's Tomb pictures scattered, I really should've organized them together better - for the history buffs, we were one of only two guilds to finish the zone when the designer had posted multiple times that the zone was working as intended. I forget the exact number, but we did it with 21 or 17 people, and some of those were 2-boxed. We did this within hours of FoH, and the next day we went back to do it again, and they took the zone down. When it came back up, we cleared to the dragons and found they'd been buffed significantly. So much for "working as intended."
Hopefully you enjoy some of these memories as much as I did making them.
