I broke my arm jumping dirt ramps on my BMX bike when I was a kid. I had my arm in a cast and was bummed out so my parents let me buy a new computer game. I had seen EQ in PC Gamer magazine and thought it sounded amazing having so many players all in the same virtual world. I had no idea how MMORPGs worked at all. I saw it on the shelf at Electronic Boutique at the mall, thought the cover art with FV was awesome, and brought it home. Had to beg my parents to let me use the credit card for an account and hog the phone line. I was hooked instantly. I had just bought Nine Inch Nails The Fragile and was listening to it on my cd player while I ran around Greater Faydark as a Wood Elf druid. This was right before Kunark came out I think.
I was hooked. I'll seriously never forget. Ended up playing a Dark Elf SK on The Tribunal in <Legendary>. Any time I listen to The Fragile I can remember it vividly.
