My old roomate got me to start playing about 6 months after EQ came out. I got 5 friends on this work crew I was on to play shortly after and he got a couple on his work crew as well, along with my gf and a co-workers gf. We were all graveyard shift at a grocery store in 99-02 and had an awesome time playing since with all of us there was usually someone you knew to group with. I remember one morning getting out of work one of the guys said I will meet you all in the Rathe Mountains to do some hunting in about an hour. The daytime manager asked me what we were hunting and how far were the Rathe Mountains. The look on her face when I tried to explain was priceless. Confusion mixed with rolling eyes. Back to sort of the topic... I got that same friend to come here a few weeks ago and it looks like he will be here to stay as well. We are broke as a joke with all that new spell buying and getting some bronze / banded for characters, but that is all part of the fun. Not kill 6 rats, 4 deer, and a couple bears for some quest, etc and get yourself armored up in half a day.
