When I left I was level 80 doing Veshan's peak? :D I logged in one time to say hi to the guild mems but not even being able to equip my raid gear on a Free account was lame! I was never a grinder/farmer so the idea of farming for plat just so I can "afford" to play the game was meh. But it's been so long since I raided with everyone that I don't know if I could be back into the game, I would need all new gear .
I was like one of the only Illusionists in Vigilance when I first joined, a super awesome fae with orange hair and wings and a 6 room acorn :D I have no idea though who is still playing and in the guild. I played with Tylia, and Mozzy and Thorren, the crazy boy who would 6box, Caelet? and a whole bunch of others. My memory is faded a bit.
There is Everquest Next coming out, but I don't know if I will pick that up to continue in the land of Norrath
