My wife played D&D with her college friends for years, until she married me and moved to my home state(we met in an AOL chat room in 1995. Married in '97)
About five years after we were married, she went home to visit her best friend and found out her D&D buddies had all stopped playing D&D and were now playing this online game called Everquest.
So she bought me a copy of the game so I would have something to do on Tuesday nights while she was out at her Curling league. Yes, Curling! My wife throws 42lb stones around for fun.
Anyway, my first character was a Human Warrior in Freeport. I was out in the newbie yard when her friend found me. She took me to the Bazzaar, gave me a full suit of chain mail, a Fine Steel long sword and a Shiny Brass Shield and 50 plat, said, "have fun!" And ran off. I had no idea how to get back to Freeport. Got disgusted and logged off. Two weeks later I decided to start again and made a Human Enchanter, again in Freeport. I had a lot of fun with him until one day I was out in EC at level 8 and someone asked me why, since I was an Enchanter, was i meleeing all my mobs with that cracked staff and where was my pet? I had gotten that enchanter to level 8 with a 1HB weapon, wearing only the cloth armor the Freeport skellies and orc pawns were kind enough to donate, and no spells besides the ones I had at the start!
