EQ was the first MMORPG I really played. I had tried a mud or two when I was 11 or 12 and didn't get in to it much. I tried UO and didn't like it. When I was 15 my Dad and Uncle played EQ and I watched them a lot. With only one PC in the house and my dad playing EQ most of the time I didnt make a character. I got hooked just from watching him FD his monk. When he started to slow down on play time I made a character and played for a long time afterwards.
This leads me to a slightly off topic question:
Do you think the next generation has the same feeling about today's MMO's? What I mean is: did EQ give us this great feeling that no other game can give us because it was our first 3D MMO?
The reason I ask is because other people I talk to that started on WoW, or some other game, don't really like EQ. I wonder if they got those same feelings from their first game of choice. Or could they ge that feeling now from EQ if they would give it a chance.
