When I first purchased Everquest, it was shortly after it launched back in 1999. My computer was sitting in the "office" in mine and my dads house. I started it up and I was instantly hooked. There was so much. I was completely overwhelmed and had no idea what I was doing. I loved it.
Loved it so much in fact, that I completely lost track of time. Before I knew it, I had been on the computer for going on 24 hours. My face was only a few inches from my computer screen because my vision was starting to fail me, yet I couldnt pull myself away. So many orcs to slay!

"Go...to...bed" , damnit all.....so I went to bed, sadly, I didnt even make it TO my bed, I ended up passing out on the floor of my room some how. Thats all she wrote. After that, I was completely hooked to this wonderful game.
