I was introduced to EQ by a friend and his family. Him, his brother, and his mom all played EQ with computers in the same room (not always at the same time, though). I loved being at their place when they played. I wasn't allowed to own the game for awhile, so I was only ever exposed to it at my friend's.

I was young; 10-12 years old. The nights were magical when I got to visit them and I got to watch as they traveled across great expanses of land and sea, grouped in places like Crushbone or Oasis, and followed online friends through enchanted forests or gloomy swamps. Everything was awe-inspiring (remember seeing people in full chain mail or bronze??).

Anyway, there were many times when my buddy and I would wait for his mother to go to sleep, then we'd sneak downstairs and play EQ. Often times, one or both of us would end up falling asleep while trying to navigate a city or something. When the sun was rising, we'd return to our beds and go to sleep.

When we weren't allowed to play EQ for some reason or another, sometimes we'd act out EQ-like fights and sounds and fill in what certain monsters or places would be like with our imagination; wishing so badly that we could conquer those red cons and become mighty, powerful, and rich.

Sometimes I wish I could relive those evenings, even with the knowledge I have today..
