IRL - Who remembers the old Offline EQ Tutorial

[uffda]

Wondering who else remembers this tutorial that used to exist? very nostalgic

 

[Free_Sid]

The UI's really came a long way. I dont remember doing a tutorial. I think I just started playing and died a lot

 

[Knightly]

I didn't play the offline tutorial until long after I'd played the game. I started as a blind human and lost my corpse as a rite of passage.

 

[Joakhan]

I did, because you could play it stand alone. I would rename it to explore other zones and play while my brother was on live.

Literally my exact experience, was a human necromancer so my guild was through the freeport sewers or whatever you want to call it... fell in water and it was too dark to see I was even in the water and drowned and/or was killed by zombies

This is making me wanting to start another group from scratch and go through the old zones.

I just did, 6 new kitties.

I have a habit of doing this about the end of HoT. I get kind of over live after that.

When I started with the Kunark expansion I didn't know there was a tutorial. Just a rusty weapon and 20 bandages that came in really handy. They should upgrade bandages, make them useful again.

 

[Phalanx]

You could change the zone in the tutorial?

 

[Cybris]

You used to be able to use it for OG EQ as a offline zone loader to view the zones that got changed when I think Velious came out and they changed the zone file encoding.

I played through the tutorial like, 40 times in 1999. Waiting for the patch to download (I had dial-up so it took a while), waiting for servers to come up, I'd log in and fuck around as Soandso. I was a massively addicted teen from the word 'go'.

A while ago I found an emu server that used tutorialb as a hub zone. It was very nostalgic seeing it again after all these years.

 

[OLDBONE]

Didn't even know it existed. But I doubt I'd have done anything with it anyway. Yes I too lost a few corpses.

Never had a chance to do the tutorial. Started out during Kunark as a Troll Shaman. Many nights spent blindly running the Swamp (hugging the walls, otherwise you’d be lost) and hoping for banded drops in Upper Guk. Good times.

That sounds really interesting actually.

I'm not crying, you're crying.

 

[The Ancient One]

I remember but patience is not something I can say I used to have. But this is gold memory. The simplicity of it seeing now. I remember as something really cool, different, new. I will keep that memory and thanks for keeping it alive. Nice.

I was broke when EQ came out, we had periods of no internet (dial up in those days) and my mom had no credit card either. I used to play on my friends account on the weekends at his place in 1999. We would sit there taking turns in 2-3 hour blocks ALL weekend!. i borrowed his CD and installed the tutorial and i would often run through the tutorial at home for a hit of EQ magic haha. Sad times! I haven't heard anyone mention the tutorial before and it really took me back to that massive nostalgia era. Thank you

I even bought my own copy of RoK (which included classic) and i would sit there reading the booklet and looking at the cloth map, dreaming of a time. It wasn't long after i was able to get a sub going and my own account.

I was a massively addicted adult from the word 'go'. Driving to work on Rt95N (booring, so much traffic) I'd scan the treeline along the road, watching for those damned Orcs. Also talked WAY too much at work.
