EverQuest II Original Pre-Game Lore Narration

This was the narration that was played when you started a new character. This probably hasn't been seen or used in game since 2005 or early 2006.
This video was made on an EQ2Emulator server. One of our goals is to preserve this gaming history and the best years of EQ2 in the form of a classic server using the original clients from the game (2005-2006 is the sweet spot).

Discord notification at 1:31 if anyone was going crazy for a few minutes like me.

They should readd this into the game, helps newbies get into the lore.

[@mattstansbeary3068]

It was in the Game but they removed it when they first removed the isle Quest route and never look back at it when they put the isle back.

[@rockcandydays4414]

I have been looking for this for literally years, thank you.

[@OrrynUbert]

Wow that took me back! Thank you for the upload. Still play to this day, the glory days are behind us but you can still get a taste of that feeling.

[@Alexander-ix2jp]

Hey there, I still play too and I'm actually starting to collect EQ 1 and 2 collectors items :) both games are a bit older by todays standards - old but far from obsolet. Both titles have been expanding their worlds year by year and there is n o t h i n g that comes close to the nostalgic, magical feeling the EQ franchise is able to produce. Love both games!

[@CullenRick]

Still love this game, and miss this opening.

[@metashadow3924]

Goddamn I don't think I've seen this since 2004. The nostalgia is powerful. I miss how this game used to be so much.

[@MidnightLost01]

So many memories, really wish they kept the first starting isle and the original opening.

[@richardsmall5265]

Oh what? Isle of Refuge is gone?

[@MidnightLost01]

@@richardsmall5265 Yup, they removed that starting area years ago, in favor of the newer ones.

[@pazuzu66613]

@@richardsmall5265 They removed Isle of Refuge with Kingdom of Sky and put in Queen's Colony and Outpost of the Overlord. Then with the city revamps they got rid of those as well, until Stormhold TLE opened. That being said, we've recreated the original Isle of Refuge as best we can on the emulator.

[@z0ttel89]

Oh my god, I totally forgot that existed back in the day... wow!

[@nightsilent1318]

Any chance you have the little scenes that played when you made a character in GFay, or Gorowyn?

[@shadowmmm]

Would love eq2emu vanilla

[@Miltin]

Wow, I haven't heard that zoning theme in what seems like forever! Anyhow, how's the player activity on the eq2emu servers? I'd love to relive the old school era of Eq2, much like how I got to experience the real Eq1 with p99! Either way, thanks for sharing :D

[@techwizz-]

Still very prealph, but you can check out what we've done at eq2emu.com. Player base is almost non existent yet, but that's because there's still a ton to do. Thanks!

[@getondese]

I knew I wasnt getting crazy!

[@mattstansbeary3068]

What I think is total funny is The Channeler and possible the Beastlords Don't have pets and the Necromancer & Conjuror do. lol yes we know your weak without your pet but good luck.
