Same here, but I was a bit older at 18. He played UO and Diablo, then EQ when it launched and I used to call him a loser for wasting time in a dark room playing video games. In the first few days of it going live it was all he talked about. One day after about a week of his incessant ramble, for a reason still unknown to me, I was like "Hey what is this thing you play?"
30 minutes later I was a lvl 2 Barbarian Warrior. In a week I was a hopeless EQ-addict. So much so, that I bought my own copy, got my own sub and rolled my beloved Barb Sham that I played literally everyday until I left for Basic Training.
I guess simple nostalgia draws me in to P99. For a long time I used to say my favorite character of any MMO ever was Sdaor. For better of worse, EQ had a fairly significant hand in the decisions that made me who I am today.
