Been going through more things that belonged to me during that stage in my life I played EverQuest. Some items just shock me: I really had that? I really thought this was cool? I used to listen to trance and all my kinetic sculptures would be going… wow, are those things noisy. No wonder mom has trouble hearing. ^_~ I really did think it was cool.
Discovering lots of things I should have given up years ago when my tastes changed. Like a huge, heavy box of… blurry photos? A few rolls I kept for some reason when my light meter broke and I didn’t realize it. So, off to the trash with those. I discover the negatives to photos I sold to our High School Sports Office, way back in maybe my Junior year. Photos from my Kite flying days that just has a faint line of pink to suggest a kite might be there.
Then I discover all my old things from when I was a Guide on the Quellious server in EverQuest. That brings back some memories. I trained apprentices towards the end of my 5 year run as a Guide and processed their reports to submit. Wow, there’s my old Dragon Tour I used to take brand new guides on. My vague directions through the Dragon Necropolis as only a Guide or GM could go. Wow, I miss that run. Once I told one of the major raiding guilds on the server “Off the record, you guys are nuts!” *grin* I still have notes detailing some of the times I was asked to help them with wipe recovery when the server crashed. Guess I wanted details for my guide report for those days.
Lists of my fellow guides, then the guide liason and the GMs I worked with. Wow, memories.
Good people… I miss them all.
Below that, the EverQuest games. I have the original box to the orginal game, then Kunark, Velious, Luclin, Planes of Power, and onward. There’s enough cloth maps to make a quilt and a tiny toy sword that I somehow remember being a model of the one you got from Guk.
The games don’t take up that much room, but I’m still not sure what to do with them. I won’t ever play again, can’t really sell them, but man… these are the first things I’ve run into that make me truly hesitate.
