I'm sure someone has done this at one point over the life of these forums, but I just thought I'd ask again. I always enjoy looking back over my years playing EQ and the times where I had the most fun. Being a solo player most of the time, there are a few that stick out to me.
-Hunting the Needlites in Echo Caverns. Such a cool little zone. Very dark, very small and claustrophobic feeling. I loved every minute in the Needlite cave.
-Camping Raster in Lower Guk. Definitely a similar claustrophobic feel of Echo Caverns, but with wandering mobs. I loved having the camp broke up enough where I could solo it without a problem. It was nice (and a little creepy) being the only one down there. And being a Monk, I knew the only way out was either to run and feign a lot, or bring gate potions with me (which is what I usually did). It was far easier to get down there than to get out. Plus when I wanted to get out, I didn't want to waste time, I just wanted out.
-Spiders in Crystal Caverns. I never did go fight the Queen, but the spiders were loads of fun.
I guess I just love the dark, underground areas (I loved the LDONs when I could find a group). And although I haven't played EQ1 since EQ2 came out, I can't close my account. I know there are tons of areas I haven't visited that I will love and eventually I want to be playing both.
