I remember thinking someone wanting to play Ultima Online instead of going to a birthday party was insane.

It was basically a cross between a traditional RPG (it had random monster encounters, classes, levels, etc.) and a traditional Sierra adventure game, eg. King's Quest, Space Quest, Leisure Suit Larry, etc.
The original name was Hero's Quest, to match the Space/King's/etc. Quest games, but Milton Bradley forced them to rename it to Quest for Glory.

Oooh, I forgot to mention some other games which primed me for Everquest - Fighting Fantasy books. They were goood stuff! I think Crossbows and Catapults also primed me for the visual vibe of Everquest - lots of ruins and rotting siege equipment knocking about in Norrath!

Any of you do the Lone Wolf books? Big recommend, way better than sudoku if you haven't ever heard of these and like EQ.

I'm not sure if I did any of those. Some fighting fantasy books would have a couple of dice on the bottom of each page, so you could flick to a 'random page' as a way of getting random dice results on the go. Not quite as true randomiser as dice, but a good solution nethertheless.

I think I read/played one (Plague Lords of Ruel), but it's been so long I can't be certain. Did it have a grid in the back, and you had to put your pencil randomly somewhere on it to "roll the dice" ?

It had lots of different dungeon crawl expereinces and character sheets you kept track of so it might be, there was no dice rolling so with just a pencil and the book you could play alone under the bleachers was super immersive and awesome too with rad art.
There is some republished ones out now I might try to re get into them.
