I remember taking the day off work and going to my local Babbages and seeing Everquest on the new releases shelf. I started thumbing through the hint book and got excited seeing all the cool stuff you could do. I bought it then and there the first week of release and played it on and off for the next 5 years until the expansions started killing the game by having so many zones that all of them were more or less empty and devoid of groups to join. I feel that the game started going downhill with the expansion after Velious. I can't remember if that was Plains of Power or Luclin, but after that, it just was not the same game.
