  I know many people hate the game, but it's vanilla phase is when I had some of my best gaming times.

  To me, that right there is nostalgia....

  No required quests! And if I decide I want to be an assassin-cartographer-dancer-pastry chef who lives only to stalk and kill interior decorators, then that's who I want to be, even if it takes me four years to max all the skills and everyone else thinks I'm freaking nuts. -Madimorga-

  This, AND the music that plays as soon as you enter that temple when you start off as a human.

  The one with echoing choir. Can't remember what it's called and I can't find it, but it was a masterpiece and is already deeply etched in my mind.

   Nobody who liked mmo's hated Everquest at it's release. It's one of the first mmorpg's and It is the first mmorpg wtih 3d polygons. Vanilla EQ was where the industry really began to commercialize.

  I see this thread is veering off its original path. Please keep it for mmorpgs only. This is the mmorpg site right?

  You made me really, really sad right before I was about to go sleep This music brings tears of nostalgia to my eyes. Vanilla and the newbie days, how I miss you. If only the game was as enjoyable now as it was back then. 

  Now there's that Time-Machine I had lying around..

  This was the very first time I experienced playing with others in a video game. Boy I miss my dreamcast. I have to say though the DAoC and Ragnarok Online themes brought back a lot of nostalgia for me also
