I first heard about EQ in 1999, but I had already started playing Asheron's Call and never looked back.
16 years later...December of 2015 - my buddies have been playing on P99 for a year now and finally convince me to give it a try. 3 months later, I'm a level 56 enchanter and totally hooked. fuck. my. life. | ||

My buddy told me of this new roleplaying game that is with an online community of actual people that you can join up with to have adventures and kill dragons and stuff. I'm like, "Sounds sweet, how do you beat it?". He's like, "You don't, you just make your own adventures killing stuff, raiding towns, questing... and every now and then they'll bring out expansions with new stuff to explore".
I was pretty sold after that, sounded different than what I was used to. He also told me how massive the world was, describing it as taking 4 hours to physically run across the whole globe (may even be more if you're waiting on the boats). Just sounded so cool and one of those games you dreamt about, felt like the future is now.

I was 16 and at the store with parents getting a new computer game....looking at the back of the boxes, EQ stood out from all the rest.
Then....when I got home and finally installed it.....this blew me away. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ym9hIEbnijw | ||

Went to Walmart at 12, convinced mom I would do a bunch of yard work and wash the windows if I got a new game. Mom agreed. I nabbed EQ. While checking out, the cashier noticed EQ and mentioned to my mom she was obsessed with the game and her parents made her get said job as a cashier to get away from it. My mom asked her what her "handle" was and the cashier said she played as "Jahidra".
I knew then I was getting into some srs business. Went home, rolled a human warrior of Qeynos. Saw a Gnome magician hanging out at the gates and freaked out about his earth pet and immediately rerolled. Ahhh the glory days | ||
