Mostly via Facebook these days, as everyone has busy schedules and family, etc. But yeah, considering EQ was essentially social media for gamers at the time, I made some enduring relationships. Mostly Veeshan folks from Denmark to closeby.

Today's games are usually optimized so players play with people near them for performance reasons. It is an interesting thought that 20 years ago games were more diverse with players all over the world. I would have never guessed that back then.

Some of the friends that I started EQ with and knew before the game I still talk with regularly. People I met in game and played with for months or longer, no I lost contact with pretty much all of them.

My guild from live still exists, has a website, and we still play together. There aren't as many of us and we've lost some people along the way. But others have resurfaced after years of silence and have been welcomed back with open arms. We tend to form our guild in each game so that we can be found.

It was at this point I decided to no longer be kind to the casuals as they have extreme short term memory. They did this to themselves, unfortunately.

Yes!

Had a bachelor party at the start of the year. A whole bunch of my old EQ crew came.

We went out for beers and gourmet burgers on the first night, next day did an escape room, some laser tag and counterstrike source. Curry followed by drinks at a 'barcade' playing table football and street fighter 2 in the evening.

Breakfast on quayside in the morning.

Was a great weekend! No EQ though AFAIK, but we did speculate about green server!

Mostly been my experience.

People I played with on Live, while I've made a point to keep in contact with them, if I don't message them, they don't message me.
