I find myself once again daydreaming about this game when I'm driving and while I'm at work. I have random dreams about the game. I experienced this back when I was 16 when the game first came out. I used to go out on a saturday morning with my first girlfriend at the time, go back to my house mid afternoon, level my High Elf Cleric for a few hours, then call her up to go out to a movie later in the night. She later told me she thought I really didn't like her or something haha. I just had the EQ addiction. I used to sit and delve into the pages of the strategy guides that were published for EQ back in the day. I'd just stare at pictures of the game and imagine that I was playing it. School became less about subjects and more about me drawing my characters, reading the strategy guide, and daydreaming about what I would do when I got home that day. No other game has ever captured my imagination like Everquest did.

I then got into parties and drugs and pretty much couldn't focus on video games anymore, but now I'm better and an adult and I love me some EQ again.

Thanks Project 1999 for bringing back my imagination in a world full of terrible MMO's that hand you everything in a basket from level 1.

Ditto. My addiction was strong back then, and it is strong now as well. More than anything though, I am on the same page as far as how vividly the game captures the imagination and how it really is the end-all be-all MMO. It has left a permanent impression on my video gaming life, as I seriously doubt I will ever be able to immerse myself into any other MMORPG as much as I was able to with EQ. There is just no reason for anything else...it's just too perfect (as long as the community is there).

Two questions, if I may:

1) Do you really look just like Brad Pitt?

2) Are you seriously equating imagination and sensitivity with sexual orientation? (It was pretty hard to phrase that question without coming off sounding gay and I think I failed. But really, how sad no? These are legitimate qualities even for the most macho of men.)

LOL, you imply that I make it a habit to "ruin" threads. As it happens, this thread was pretty much played out. However, if I do derail it, you have my apologies. I might point out in closing that your own post (above) regarding my post is hardly in keeping with the thread subject and seems rather incendiary to me.

Awesome post!

I think what we can all get out of this thread is: emotions are for democrats and women.

Thanks Project 1999 for bringing back my imagination in a world full of terrible MMO's that hand you everything in a basket from level 1.I had to walk 5 miles in the snow to play EQ everyday, then have a 3 hour staring contest with a gnome just to get a camp! *shudders*. You don't WANT to experience my horrid nightmares of yesteryear! Only the drugs and booze got me through it all. Curse Verant for ever conceiving this diabolical trap!
