how/why do you play everquest? Am I playing it right?

EQ is one of the hardest games to start from scratch. Getting to max level is an obvious first goal, did that. I don't think anyone can level a druid to 60 without starting a twink, did that.

My monk is now lvl55 and I am looking forward to grouping in sebelis with him the rest of the way. This first twink was fun because his weapons went wu's staffs, then a quivering staff, then jade mace / kd. Now he uses ac/sos. I have had a blast working on his epic up to this point. I have killed eejag with the help of my guild, and quested all my own ROTWF. Making this character my main until he is lvl60 seems like an obvious choice, I just have not been motivated to do it for some reason. I have not logged on this character in months.

So what have I been doing when I log on? Honestly, making money on my druid... but why? (Have a fungi already) I want to do the monk epic instead of buy it.

The most fun part of my eq expierence the last couple months has been playing untwinked characters with my rl friend. We are running cleric / mage so gear is not that important. We both have < 2k in gear, I would guess he has less than 1k in gear. Why is this so much fun? Is it because we hunt in super classic places? Permafrost, upper guk, oasis, najeena, Karanas etc? Or is it fun because I am not steamrolling content?

At this point I am considering making another twink and am starting to question why I play this game / how to get the most enjoyment out of it. Do I make another monk? Iksar this time, with fungi, epic, tstaff etc? Would be fun to truly rail content like I never got the chance to on my monk the first time. Or do I make a ranger and run around with a sword of Morin acting like one of those classic everquest snobs? Tough call.
