I was introduced to EQ by a friend and his family. Him, his brother, and his mom all played EQ with computers in the same room (not always at the same time, though). I loved being at their place when they played. I wasn't allowed to own the game for awhile, so I was only ever exposed to it at my friend's.
I was young; 10-12 years old. The nights were magical when I got to visit them and I got to watch as they traveled across great expanses of land and sea, grouped in places like Crushbone or Oasis, and followed online friends through enchanted forests or gloomy swamps. Everything was awe-inspiring (remember seeing people in full chain mail or bronze??). Anyway, there were many times when my buddy and I would wait for his mother to go to sleep, then we'd sneak downstairs and play EQ. Often times, one or both of us would end up falling asleep while trying to navigate a city or something. When the sun was rising, we'd return to our beds and go to sleep. When we weren't allowed to play EQ for some reason or another, sometimes we'd act out EQ-like fights and sounds and fill in what certain monsters or places would be like with our imagination; wishing so badly that we could conquer those red cons and become mighty, powerful, and rich. Sometimes I wish I could relive those evenings, even with the knowledge I have today.. | ||

My buddy and I shared an account for a while when we were freshman in high school. He also shared a room with his big mean older brother who was a senior. We used to stay up all night taking turns playing as quietly as we could so that we wouldn't wake his brother up who would then subsequently punch us. Hours of silent clicking and whispering in the dark.
One time I found a set of juggling balls under his bed and I ended up learning how to juggle pretty well while he was playing. All in darkness and silence. | ||

This ones not exactly a fond memory, but its fun to look back on.
I had a crazy friend in high school who was a coke dealer and also played EQ. He had the Kunark/Norrath map framed with a glass cover on his wall. One night we took it down and outlined all the continents in lines of blow and stayed up all night xping and getting high as kites. ...lol... those were the days... | ||

1. I remember being in 5th or 6th grade at my friends house. His mother had played EQ a lot and she played a cleric. She had a lot of RL adult friends who also played. I remember one of her friends who played a druid came over and he was really high level. My friend and I were still erudite mages in our teens.
He was camping the Frenzied Ghoul room in Lguk for the FBSS and we thought it was the most dark, mystical, crazy looking room. the Fabled FBSS also possessed such a strong lore around it during pre-kunark. We were so amazed that he was in that room. I think he had camped it for 8 hours straight and got no FBSS, we didn't watch the whole time, we were busy playing Playstation on the TV. It was still so cool and I remember asking him tons of questions. 2. Another time my friend and I REALLY wanted to play EQ together but his mother wouldn't log off. We went into the bed room where the Ethernet cable was routed and we would unplug it then re-plug it back in to make her go LD. We had to hold back our laughter every time because we heard her asking "WTF, again?!" "This connection is terrible tonight". We must have done it three times before we came out and "made" sure she was okay, asking what was wrong. We then went back and did it a couple more times until she decided "Screw this i'm going to sleep, and i'm going to call the internet company tomorrow". My buddy and I had a huge high-five, we waited 30mins for her conk out and then logged on to one of our characters. SUCCESS. Still feel kinda bad, but it was awesome nonetheless. Her character didn't die at all, not sure if any of her group mates died though, she was the cleric! LOL! | ||

You know those sticks hanging down from your window you twist to close the blinds?
My parents always wondered where they all went.. I would take them down and pretend I was dual wielding and broke them all | ||
