Mine is also in Rift, where I was one of the first 50s on the Faeblight server, RP-PvP.

World PvP was actually pretty common, mostly fighting over control of the portals in endgame zones. It was fighting over the portal in Zeraph's Return where I made acquaintances with some players of the other faction who would become my consistent rivals. I remember two of the three names, Dalla and Capone, a Shaman/Justicar cleric and a Warlord/Void Knight warrior (who ended up switching heavy Void Knight, possibly in an attempt to counter me after we had a few interactions). The third was a Ranger rogue whose name unfortunately escapes me.

My fond memory is of when, passing through a zone controlled by the enemy faction on my way to help a guildmate, the 3 of them intercepted me.

I played my own variation of "Chlorolock," which was generally a Chloromancer/Warlock healing focused spec, but I played as a Warlock/Chloromancer 1vX world PvP spec, focused on CC and sustain. And 1vX it was, as we fought for almost half an hour, with me killing the rogue a handful of times, the warrior a few times, and the cleric a couple times. I eventually got complained at by my guild mate for taking so long, so slowly fought my way to the zone line, where I continued about my business.

Dalla, Capone, nameless Rogue, thanks for the good memories, and sorry for playing such a cheesy and frustrating spec back in the day.

In Everquest, before the necros could summon your body to the zone, if you died you had to run back and find your body to loot it.. in one of the low level areas there was a HUGE pit that you needed a Shaman buff or potion to get across, if you fell then it put you in a high level boss area that needed a 20 to 30 raid party to beat.. One of my guild mates fell in this hole.. we were able to recruit 20 people to go down into this boss area where we all wiped on the final boss with his body right behind it..
We ended up with 30 additional players the second time around and got all the bodies back.. total time spent playing that time was 29 hours strait.. the next day I realized that I was way too addicted to that game and uninstalled it.. a month later they gave necros the ability to summon peoples corpse to the zones..

1. When 30 people that rushed us through a teleporter and 10 of us rained Meteor showers and wiped them all in 4 seconds.

2. In Endless Online (game 16 years ago) when a player was baiting their turtle suit (incredible rare skin set) by dropping it down on the ground and picking it up in a flash, I grabbed it and he said "nice..."

3. Endless Online again, i opened a random chest and found 3.5 million gold (having 50k gold was a fortune). I was exploding with excitement i didn't know what to even do with it. I learned that the gold was a special event in which after 1 hour it disappeared. I logged back on and got sad real quick lol

4. Was fishing in Runescape, rocking my santa hat as always, went to the bathroom, event troll spawned and killed me, Santa hat dropped, my body was swarmed and wasn't considered 1 of the 3 items you keep because I had "more valuable items". The player that picked it up wouldn't give it back, learned a valuable lesson about people on the internet that day.

whoa, no way, I was a Faeblight mage as well during that same period!

took me a sec to remember that early on in the game you couldn't talk to people in the other factions, and going into enemy territory was a little extra scary. That sounds really fun though - I definitely remember chlorolock, for a long time it was one of the only consistently viable specs for mage... until sc/ele I wanna say (outside of some of the gimmicks like ground of strength pyro in pvp and zoomancer in pve). Stillmoor pvp was pretty fun although I wish I was more into it while it was around

edit: ps this is maybe a longshot but part of your name sounds really familiar to me, did you end up being very active on rift forums by chance?

I have many great memories and stories from my years of playing MMORPGs.

One funny memory I have is when we played Wildstar for a small period of time. We were under our old guild tag and we were doing a lot of RBGs and we ran into a guild that we used to fight in GW2 that was somewhat of a rival when we we spent time in T1. We played decently, and after the battleground was over we heard from our old friends.

Enjoy.

I was, but I was not using this name at the time. I was Sysion back then.

Ah my bad, I saw 'viola' and I remembered a really big poster named Violacea and was wondering if that was you.

regardless, its super exciting to see another Faeblight mage around!
