When you first log in to EverQuest you will see something similar to this. This is the view you get when your character is a Halfling.

This is in what was once a very popular area known as The Oasis. This NPC has some broad shoulders don’t you think?

EQ Wood Elf

EQ Wood Elf

Female Wood Elves are one of the more attractive races in EQ – I received more than a few free gifts back in the day from geek boys trying to impress what they thought must have been a real-life “girl.”

WoW Dreadsteed

This is Elkwinkarma on his Dreadsteed – the Warlock specific land mount. Getting this mount now is a piece of cake, but when I got it I had to get help from the Technologia Guild.
