I was honestly kinda p!ssed when i first got EQ back in 1999. I had been playing Ultima Online for a few years and I had been following EQs development and was really excited when it released. I remember telling my dad I wanted to get Ever Quest and his reaction was something to the tone of "Why, so you can waste even more time infront of that d@mn computer" - and my counterpoint to this was that UO and EQ were completely different in-so-far-as in EQ you can log in, do a quest, and then log out...There are defined things in game to do and its not just a cluster f#ck FFA like Ultima. Its completely quest based! He didn't really understand what I was telling him, but I told him this would take up less time than UO did. Well, this turned out to be completely false - half my time on UO was macroing and tricking people into my house to PK them - nothing like the time sink that is EQ. WoW actually turned out to be what little me thought EQ would be.
But I say all that to say this - ever QUEST - has the worst quests of any game I have ever played, but I still <3<3<3 it
