What was your first character's class? Or, what was your favorite character's class? That class logo is probably a good choice. Because, as images, they look cool and are open to interpretation. EQ players (old school) will recognize them. Others will think it's just something else cool.
I can't imagine getting a "moss snake kicks you for 8 pts of damage," lol. I don't know how you could begin to explain that without telling a long story. And, it's the kind of long story where folks at the end of it say "oh." You'd be better off telling them "it's a long story" and leave it at that.
Other ideas include
- "long live Fansy"
- the graphic of a wizard rune on your deltoids.
- "slate to tunnel"
- "I just hate humans like you" (or insert any other race)
- "working as intended"
- picture of the shaman epic; that is, I think, the most easily recognizeable somewhat-oldschool wpn in the game
- tatoo of maestro or rancor, or mini cazic thulle (tell me that wouldn't be cool), or vox or nagafen, etc. (but cooler versions).
I personally prefer an image, rather than text. Good luck; sounds like a very cool idea; and now I'm thinking of getting one too!
If you want some old screenshots, there are tons of em on my old guild's website. Click on the blue 'Arclan' link in the list at the following site.
Hey, unless you hate paladins, a tatoo of soulfire would rool.
Luckily, i don't need you to like me to enjoy video games. -nariusseldon. In F2P I think it's more a case of the game's trying to play the player's. -laserit
Speaking of old school, if anyone wants to read an "epic journey" from the eyes of a low level barbarian in the very early days of EQ, scroll to the bottom of the page and read the entry titled, "New Born." His English was not very very good back then so please don't be too mean At the following link: http://www.whitewolfbrigade.com/wwb/Dossier.asp?ID=4
Ya, EQ was hardcore for sure back then. Unforgiving, and beautiful.

Do you happen to remember how the loading text went? I think it went;
LOADING, Please wait...
Or something similar, but I was thinking maybe that having;
a moss snake hits YOU for 4 points of damage.
LOADING, Please wait...
- would be pretty cool haha
I'm gonna get that text for sure, then I pondered on getting an image as well. Why not right? I played a Cleric in EQ and I looked back at the cleric symbol. Unfortunatly, I don't really like it; it's not as cool as the other classes. BUT, I am considering getting that symbol that you see around Neriak like someone else had mentioned, or getting some other type of symbol. But something a bit more ambiguous than a straight image of Naggy or something. Still trying to decide what tho.

Hm I can maybe find it from all the screenshots I have. My account is closed atm.
My friend can log in and take a SS but she's only on during asian time. I'll see if I can find it.
Every letter of a zone starts with a capital letter EXCEPT if it's "of". Like in "Wall of Slaughter" "The Plane of Knowledge" OR if the word "The" isn't at the start of a name like in: "Lair of the Korlach")
This is the Neriak symbol. If you want any other picture, you can always ask in The newbee forum in EQ, just say you want a pic for memories and if anyone would like to make one. Shrug, they'll get you tons if you ask nicely .
These are the 2 main symbols that are most noticable, there are others in Neriak though.
I'm going to do some more research on those symbols and see what I can come up with. Man, I was looking through screenshots on the web, and now an actual character is starting to sound pretty good lol
np, you might like this if you want to do eq char as an example. I have no idea who made it, but mirage was old eq guild , so could be guildy of them you know, not sure.
It's very stylised, but that's what makes it cool no. The half elf bard with drink, the necro, the rogue with dagger, high elf cleric ^_^. Don't put many chars together though, you'd hardly recognise them all on skin I think. Anyway, just example cause I loved luclin human / woodelf and DE designer.
There's the one I have on my leg. I think i'm going to go with: a moss snake kicks YOU for 4 damage! lol does anybody know the exact wording? or have a Screenshot?
Who could ever forget Contra!
What would you like your Tombstone to say?
Has anybody seen my corpse?
TRAIN!!111 is a good idea too
I picture of your actual character with old style graphics!

I can help because I know the capital letternig still and checked my log..
-When you get hit, the "you" part is in capitals
hits YOU
-after the sentence on a succesfull hit there's a "." unless it was a miss, there's a "!" after a miss
So it should be iirc:
A moss snake kicks YOU for 23 points of damage.
A moss snake tries to kick YOU, but misses!
A moss snake tries to kick YOU, but YOU riposite!
A moss snake tries to kick YOU, but YOU parry!

Found it. It's

You'd also get:
You have entered Crescent Reach.
(Crescent Reach can be any other zone of course.
Every letter of a zone starts with a capital letter EXCEPT if it's "of". Like in "Wall of Slaughter" "The Plane of Knowledge" OR if the word "The" isn't at the start of a name like in: "Lair of the Korlach")

-Whatever your class's 1.0 weapon is.
-a_giant_rat
-A snake kicking.
