Osama bin Laden and Everquest
By now you probably know that Osama bin Laden is dead.
The reason I bring this up here is that I first heard about the 9-11 attacks by reading a post on my EQ guild's web forums (while at work and not working very hard). In the days that followed those forums and my server forums were a major support system for me, even though I didn't know any of my guildies in person. My guild was even about 60% Canadian, yet they organized in-game candlelight vigils for us Americans in the guild and on the server. Its one of those events I'll probably never forget, and for me Everquest is closely associated with the healing process.
So I just want to say thanks to everyone that I knew back in the day who were the support system for many of us, even if none of us knew that that's what it was at the time, and to all the international community that contributed to the overthrow of the terrorists and now the death of its leader.
