EQ1 - Velious in 5 mins (HD)

[@404_profile_not_found]

I still remember sitting in the pool in shadowhaven for 3 hours, listening to the raid communication from another server as they killed the sleeper. GMs despawned it at 20% (I think) the first time around, claiming there was an exploit being used, so that the sleeper wouldnt be killed, and those listening were losing their mind

[@robotetanus]

72 person raid caps didn't exist until the raid window was introduced.

[@gathorn]

Good old days... no maps, no instances

[@samuelrs5138]

I think no instances is a good thing, but maps were awesome when they came out. No more having to look up maps on sites like Allakahazems and spam your /loc key when trying to find something. And no more having to take an extra five minutes to run across a zone by going along the walls because you're too lazy to do the /loc thing.

[@bishyaler]

Plane of Mischief was a great zone. Shame it didn't make it.

[@TheRusty]

Fun fact: Kerafym was not actually unkillable. he just had so many hit points that it was a futile effort for any raid. Unless the entire server raided him. That server was Rallos Zek. That was a fun day.

[@samuelrs5138]

Another fun fact: It was actually a Chinese/Tiawanese guild on a Chinese server that killed Kerafym first, the Kerafym on Rallos Zek was actually the second time he was killed.

[@Corvid76]

Sleeper never went into other zones. It was simply a worldwide broadcast.

[@wowsnav]

Yes he did, scripts run across Velious, as well as Sol B and Permafrost where Nagafen and Vox live.

[@weekendenthusiasts]

This is xpansion was the definition of long hours of raiding patience. Literally hours of raiding to kill one boss. This wasn’t WoW, killing a boss in minutes, this was hours !

[@klak1212]

Bassnectar and Everquest. I have goosebumps. Liked

[@Justinbtx]

eq 1 greatest game i ever played...thats why i still play!!! on P99

[@sweetfry]

wow this song holy shit it takes me back to the days of doing MDMA and chillin in my garage with friends. Saw Bassnectar live once..was awesome.

[@JohnD2139]

Does nobody care about original EQ and the void in all of us unfulfilled for all these years? 10k views? I grew up with original EQ selling teleports, waiting 10 minutes for a boat or meeting up in east commons to sell stuff in the mountain... Good times.

[@PKTEK]

+Serve Allah Im right there with both of you. It was my first MMO when I was around 12 years old and raided with an amazing guild until I was 16. I remember running through Kunark and Velious with my best friends, grouping, exploring, raiding and questing. Man, I can not explain how many amazing moments I had in EQ.

[@halinar1]

Serious flashbacks to the shaw quest.

[@pazuzu66613]

Raid sizes weren't 72 man. They had no cap as there was no raid tool, you just had an army of unconnected groups.

[@markf3333]

Indeed, the raid window was introduced during PoP expansion and until then there was no real way to define what a raid was, just individual groups of people working together that we called a raid. Instances were not around so a raid could be as big as the number of people you could get to join.

[@johnm1720]

Pulling ntov was a lot of fun.

[@PandaMan02]

i miss my ranger, and the old way the game played. not what they have now.

[@rottenheart6]

One of the main reasons I still play in P99 even today ... I go in, play for some months, leave it for some months, and then return again ... been doing that for several years now. No other MMO can give me the feeling EQ, specially classic, gives to my brain, heart and soul. TY for this video, I enjoyed it between a 6 min camp in South Karana with my necro hahah! >:D

[@Royfokker73]

So awesome. Velious was nearing the end of my EQ days. My wife and I stuck it out a bit in Luclin but left for DaoC shortly thereafter. Velious has a ton of good memories and you covered a lot of those areas!

[@stragi]

they did eventually kill the sleeper but he wasn't itemized and had like a cloth hat or something.

[@TommyDaGreat]

I just started playing EQ1, running around in the newbie cave so I can't say, sorry. But Kunark is HUGE and Velious is pretty big too. You have the Great Divide with a huge scar that splits it, the Eastern Wastes which is a forestland cut down by giants and ettins. The place called Awakening Lands is turned into a barren forest full of purple corruption and a swamp, full of corrupted creatures with pumping purple blood veins... That's about as much as I know. And skyshrine is a big battlefield.

[@weekendenthusiasts]

DmW all the way. This game changed my life for mmorpg.

[@DeathByCactus]

Taught you not to die, didn't it.

[@CineSmiths]

you forgot losing a significant amount of exp and potentially losing a level as one of the shitty things about dying in eq..

[@castor21]

I remember the first time I got summoned by Vindi then prison sexed. I was scared and laughing uncontrollably. The raid wiped and I could just hear the guild leader screaming "camp a cleric, camp a cleric". The memories...

[@MrVaken]

Check out a EMU server called Project1999. Velious should be released by end of the year. It will not progress any further than Velious era.

[@Archimagus]

Oh man... Such a nostalgia trip. I love it. Many, Just Velious seems bigger than the entirety of most modern MMO's these days. Maybe it's not really, and it's just the travel speed and dungeon complexity that makes it seem that way, but really. Most modern MMO's don't even have 3 factions in the whole game, much less just on one island.

[@JohnRoX]

Who remembers the first time they saw the flaming sword ?

[@BigLe2e]

Lord Doljonijiarnimorinar aka Lord Bob!

[@polchinski123]

hell of a video bud, thanks for making and posting

[@TommyDaGreat]

Velketor the Sorcerer? I thought Velketor was something dragon-ish? Or did he morph into a semi-dragon for EQ2? :P Secondly, do you still lose items when you die in EQ1 or was that in the old EQ1 only? Have thought of trying it out many times but am scared to lose all my posessions. Third, Velketor's Labyrinth do exist in EQ2, but it's reformed into Hold of Rime: The Ascent so it looks very different, but some parts are a bit reminiscent to what I see from the one in EQ1.

[@smaptey1]

Excellent, informative and nostalgic

[@FailBoat1337]

this video is awesome. If you ever have the time please do another EXP, i know the old EQ fans like me, will love you for it.

[@Yaguara]

Just a little mistake. If i'm not wrong, the boss introducing quad hit was King Tormax and not AoW. But well, same zone. ^^ And i would also enjoyev seing again old Plane of Mischief. But good video, it brings back memories.

[@pazuzu66613]

Kunark- Yes; Velious- Not so much.

[@DRCEQ]

"depositing her children on plants." :p Thanks for the trip down memory lane. I still remember very clearly the day when the Rallos Zek server killed Kerafyrm. He wasn't made technically unkillable. Zerging with 300+ characters was needed to bring him down, and only unresistable spells like Harm Touch and Manaburn could land on him. In the end, His corpse lay at our feet for the 30 seconds that a loot-less corpse would last.

[@Hardy_H_H]

I wanna point out so many wrong things and inaccurate information in thus video, but who gives a F 12 years after the initial upload...

[@BerraLJ]

This is the expansion i started playing in, had a lot of fun taking my lvl 9 rogue up there sneaking around :)

[@Bushimo]

Oh I don't know. Kunark was fun, and Velious had that amazing Tizmak armor with the special textures (assless pants on female Dark Elves for instance) and was highly sought after along with Velium Weapons. Many people used to grind the Dwarven Guards to get the weapons and the neat Velium shields shown in the above video.

[@HikaruHosokawa]

Thanks a lot dude i find this game pretty intéressant, When did you play it ?

[@yakmmosmacktalk]

ZOMG, I really enjoyed this video! Great job, very professionally done! I am going to link to you video on my next podcast!

[@L330ne]

I used to camp those golems for something. Forgot now haha.

[@GoYouGoME]

hey man, I'm really interested in EQ1 and learning about the world in general even though I've never played the game. Thanks for the very informative summary of the 1st expansion.

[@HandlesAreStupid2024]

2nd. 1st was Kunark :)

[@edzilla19243]

Stuff quaded before Velious...

[@Ronzert]

lol funny how he says if you fall you die talking about the pit in velks you def wont die false info there :P

[@BGivo]

Soon launching on Project1999!!!

[@aztec11]

awesome vid! wish it didn't end!

[@ryanfields1965]

I miss old EQ days! Sirens Grotto... man when I first started ToV I hated going through there!! damn siren enchanters trying to charm me and drown me O.o

[@DarkTranquility2468]

How could you not include Plane of Growth/Mischief? They were way more important than Sleeper's or Velk's.

[@glotaro1]

fear the Sleeper!

[@Pytte]

@robotetanus hehe yea i remember us taking a whole server on 1 dragon 200 people at least..

[@Multra]

That was an awesome video, thank you.

[@Sethir]

Best Xpac.

[@LifeHasLived]

Song?

[@pactofshadows]

Love this. Thank you.

[@Hijynx87]

How is eq2 kunark/velious anyways? Was it even close to resemble eq1?

[@Hijynx87]

Where? VP?

[@daveybrightly2699]

check out p1999 and re-live the dream!

[@AlBundy310]

Velious is not out yet on it =p but still... the best fuckin memories of my childhood! I remember getting the 10th Dain Ring... it was such a fuckin achievement...

[@XADIENX]

Name of song? =(

[@slavaukraini1991]

"Several zones didn't make the cut sadly." Velious in 6 minutes? Well why not spend a bit longer on it and include what was missed? A shame, and lets not talk about the dubstep - had to watch it without the music :p

[@XADIENX]

www.clipconverter.cc/ rip dat song doe =)
