I showed such an interest in watching him play that he paid for me an account. We played together for years up through Omens.

He's also responsible for telling me about p99.

He passed away December 17th of last year. He hadn't played EverQuest in a very long time but I can thank him to this day for my love of high fantasy. Feeling nostalgic about playing with him is actually what made me recently return to p99 after about a half year.
Sorry for your loss as well man atleast you and him had some good adventures

Told a friend that I hated UO. He said, "You should be on EQ." A week later, I was. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

When I was young my parents handed me a piece of slate and a slate pencil and taught to play games like tic tac toe and hangman as I grew up technology proceeded to advance. First came Pong, then the systems began to advance with the Commodore, then Atari, then Nintendo, as the consoles became more advanced so progressed computer games with Oregon Trail, and other games. I retired and realized I was bored with things and decided to check out games for my computer and found Everquest. Now 16 years later and I am still playing through content I was playing through then. It is funny how easily we can be amused sometimes.

I found Everquest by accident. We just got highspeed internet, and Comcasts splash login page had " There is a LOT of realestate in Asheron's Call! " and a link to the beta.

Played that until it ended with amazing GM interaction, then was entirely focused on getting that game. Got all my 13 year old cash together and went to hastings... only.. It wasnt out yet, it was a beta! That had just ended ;w;

I was really bummed out, then saw the original box and the troll on the back. Just great color and spell effects. Snagged that instead. A little clever work to get my mom's credit card and I was playing. It was an instant blast, made a wizard first, got lost and died in G-fay, made an enchanter and stuck with it until 40, when I got stuck in the tunnel game.

Made thousands and thousands of plat and had tons of twinks but never got anything too high.

Hoping to actually break that cycle.

friends dad was an SOE dev, let us screw around with the game before it came out. cant remember if it was an actual beta server or just a sandbox mode because i never ran into another player. leveled a gnome necro up a little bit and i rolled a few level 1's to check out the starting towns. i remember the player animations were still really weird/rudimentary for some races like human.
bought the game and rolled a gnome magician on xegony when the servers went live.

Was too young to play when this first came but a few years when I grew older my cousin decided to show me the game. Thought it was really cool and ironically enough my dad already had it and I started playing it as an Iskar sk for my first roll, had no clue what the stats meant or any idea it effected the game so I probably dumped them all into charisma lmao.

A few of my friends from school were playing. I think we were 12 when we started playing in 2000. Started up on Brell and played until about 2004.

My first character was a High Elf Enchanter but quickly rerolled Erudite Enchanter. When I realized I couldn't control my animated pets I lost interest...oh little did I know that I should've kept with that class. I rerolled Half Elf Ranger and that was my main the whole time =P

It was 1999 and I had just graduated from college. A friend told me about EQ and I applied for my first credit card so I could suscribe. Up until then my online game playing was limited to Doom and Diablo. So EQ was pretty incredible in its scope relative to these other games.
