i am a fan of deadmines, which i did for about 500 times with my characters.
was the first instance ever to enter... and was very fun.
i remember the day i made a mage human girl(brunette )
and at around level 12-14 i got the quest to get the head of van cliff.
I entered the deadmines (just in the house and then on the stairs down) and met an elite dude level 17 who beat the sheet out of me. And i was, "man , this van cliff is good!"
so i party with another dude and told him i need help to get him down.
He said ok... but w8 for others... soon we were 5 , entering the house of deadmines. Very fast the elite was dead but that wasn;t van cliff... so we went forward. After a long time, and a huge amount of mobs killed, i was, "hey guys, where is van cliff... i need to kill him?!" "be patince... we get there!"
then we discovered the Dark Portal.
I was "Man... the dark portal... i destroyed this sheet in warcraft 2!"
and we entered!
uu... then there were only elites, very hard to kill... and i was doing so litle damage at level 14... ups 15 !
then the party told me "gz" , and i was... what is whit this gs?
anyway, we reached Van cliff... a huge brute, ugliest thing i ever seen... and we Killed him!
but that was not van clif... was just some dude... and the doors opened and then we killed hundreds of mobs... we reched a mechanical guy... and i was... "dudes... where is that van clif... i mean we are here for a loooong time, is this the right direction?!"
"ye..."
"ok..."
and then , after many adventures we reached a port in the night... there was a huge ship there, and pirates
wow, that was cool... 2 hours or smt... worth spenting.
and some huge dude appeared... and he screamed at us and we all got stucked and the huge devil killed us all... and that was over.
That was my first instance ever... and it was owsome...
And i got a cool blue ring, and i had only green and gray items and i was.... oooo... blue ring
