I was 18 or 19, I think.
My neighbor was talking about Everquest.
He let me play one of his toons (Sukkan, high elf mage. lol).
I was completely hooked. He even got his mom hooked.
So for his one account he played, I played, and his mom played.
Anyone remember 'Cheater log updated'? hehehe
He died on his enchanter and because we were playing on other toons, his corpse poofed. He made us all get our own account at that point.
I had a job, my own computer and own phone line (for internet). But my parents wouldn't let me use their Credit Card. My neighbor was kind enough to let me write her a check and she'd pay for my account.
I leveled a wood elf bard to the 20s, got almost a full set of lambent SOMEHOW.
I don't remember but I'm sure I harassed a lot of people to get it.
I ended up quitting because I was playing like 10+ hours a day.
My account is still out there, but I have no idea what the username or e-mail address is. The CD key is long gone and the payment wasn't even in my name.
But ever since my experience in Everquest, I compare all MMOs to it.
I come back every now and then, even tried Al'Kabor. But this is currently the best EQ Experience, imo.
