For me it was the first day. Friends at work told me about EQ and omg I had to try it. I had not done any gaming in about 5 years at that point and did not know an MMO from shineola. So I finally broke down and bought the game. After a couple of months I found myself bored on a Sunday and decided to install it. Made a HIE Wiz and XP'd around the entrance to Felwithe. There would be the occasional player running in and out of Felwithe but other than that I saw no one and just soloed until I was level 2.

Then I decided to see where the path led that went away from Felwithe. When I crested a hill and Kelethin came into view I could see tons of players XPing and all kinds of spell effects going off and it was at that moment that I knew. I knew I was screwed... I was floored by the whole idea once I was able to see it in action and I was sold. That was in 1998...
