First to vote, first to post!

I found the site while running a search on Google when I was but a wee newbie. Then I found the OOoT forum, and stuck around.

Found this site about 5 years ago I guess. I don't really remember how.

Then I read the UBB boards for years. Good times.

Long live Baldisking!

Was level 30 or so and wanted to start on the Coldain Prayer Shawl quests.

I was repeatedly told by a few guild members "check alla", until I finally asked WTF alla is..

Allakhazam!? Damnit, I was looking for the Mitsubishi website...


It's been a few years but I think I used a search engine...

Was directed here by a RL friend who played EQ from start. And now I have adopted his account and have been posting under his name for 3+years.

I found it mild, smoky, and yet tangy, with a hint of barbecue sauce.

Really, I was directed here as a noob. Probably one of the best things I ever found for EQ info.

I found alla by... well mostly annoying the hell out of people in game. years ago during Kunark i would shout and ask people like where i could find a spell or what lvl spell it was and people would always say chek alla! so eventually i just said what the hell is alla!? and then they told me about this glorious site with all this stuff on it! ive been happily using this website ever since.

gotta love this site..
Thanks for all the info here allakhazam!

WOAH i just noticed im the 28th person to post! woohoo im in the top 30!

Honestly I really can't remember how I found the site, but I guess that having set as my home page for the past 5 years or so should tell you something.

It's been so long ago since I came here, I've flat out forgotten how I first heard of it...

I found this place maybe four years ago, linked on Everlore. That was my primary site for the first year or so.

I think one or two of the RL friends I started played EQ with 5.5 years ago told me about it. They were devout Everlore users in the day, but came here.

Found the EQ boards a couple years ago (um, Fall 2002?) and was participating a bit, but then I moved to WoW and only check/post there occassionally.

I found it through someone in game way back in 2000 or so. It is funny though because people would often talk about this site in game but nobody knew how to spell it correctly. I recall hearing "Alacadabra" and "That Alliezasaur site."

I was told about the site by an RL friend who sucked a bunch of us in, just pre-Kunark. Our guild is still that same first bunch, a few left and a few new ones replaced them. We all scattered once we left college, and use the game to chat across the country.

I played for quite awhile without even thinking of looking on the internet for help. Then one day while bored at worked, I did a search for Everquest and found EQLive, Casters Realm and Allah's. After that, I felt like I had been playing blind all that time.

I found it from a link on eqatlas.com

I miss that site and Muse's maps

I give out Allakazam's website address just about every time I'm logged in the game.

About 6 years ago my friend introduced me to Everquest at college...I kept asking him questions prompting him to find Alla's site...he passed the site on to me. He faked knowledge...he told me not to creat a necro because everything would hate me and try to attack automatically...even skeletons and moss snakes...common skeletons attack all, Jason :)

I remember it well...

I asked someone a question about a spell and he replied "Hold on im going to check ALla"

When I logged off for the day i went to google and typed Alla-eq.....no luck

Later, i was looking at computer games on EBgames and i saw a game came with a free trial to Allakhazam.com

hmmmm... Alla- Allakhazam i checked it out and saw instantly this is what the guy was talking about

This site has been my best friend for EQ ever since

I have no idea how I found Allakhazam. I already used it shortly after I started playing EQ in 2001. That time I called myself "Zylinder", my gnome mage's name... Smiley: laugh
