One of my favorite times in EQ

I remember being new to this game, played alot with Zigfreed, lvl 60 wizzy. We met in the Oasis, fighting on Orc Highway. We were about lvl 16 or so at that time, and I was playing my druid Rinolas. Blabberpuss, was also a friend that we were playing with at the time. A friend I had met while in WK fighting bandits had told me about the Oasis, said xp was good, and you could make lots of money. Well, anyway we were at Oasis, and this friend of my Rominh, by name, said he had a friend who told him about OT mudpit.<br><br>Well, we went to the mudpit, and the experience and loot was awesome, had a terrific blast. So everyone gets tired and we decide to camp for the night and head back to Oasis to log.<br><br>Next day, Zigfreed and I get on, and decide to head back to OT, so we get on the raft and go to TD, then we get on the bloated belly, and start heading to OT. We decide to explore for a bit, and find the ship graveyard, we are fighting these guys and we both end up dying, somewhere under the water. After many trial and errors we get our corpses back, of course we had no idea what a rez really was.<br><br>Well, we are on the boat headed to OT again, and something happens and Zigfreed falls off the boat. So, being the gentleman I am, I jump off in the water after her. We start swimming, and come to the island that has lots of mountains on it, and also has the big red conned Iksar on it. Didnt get close enough to him but I know it is the Iksar master now. So, we are sitting there and wondering what to do to get off this island. I ask her if she has any batwings, and she says she has two of them on her, and I told her I didnt have any.<br><br>Ok, I tell her, follow me, I think we can do this. We climb on a mountain close to the waters edge, and I tell her what we are gonna try. She has her doubts, as do I. Now, I hear the shout from the bloated belly, like when it passes the ship graveyard. I ask her to levitate us, and wait for my signal. Boom, levitated, and still can't see the ship. I get tired of waiting and say GO! Off we go, ship spotted, but it is getting ahead of us. I turn to angle to intercept the front of the ship. We are getting really close to it, and it is getting close to zone. I finally get on the back of the ship, and she reaches it and ZONE! Loading Please wait.....<br><br>We both made it, and laughed so much, and still talk about it to this day, it was so fun and scary all at the same time. <p></p><i></i>
