Everquest is the first game that I felt was a true adventure. And frankly, is still today one of the few games that I feel that way about.

Everquest is an experience that saved my life, having grown up gay and abused in a small redneck town and in a Christian family, and also suffering from major depression and social anxiety. Everquest allowed me to be alive in a world that I loathed.

My life is much more bearable and enjoyable these days, but I'm honestly not sure I'd be here today if I hadn't been able to escape to Norrath. So thank you Mr. McQuaid for literally saving my life. I hope Pantheon makes it through this and the spirit of Everquest and Brad continue to live on through it.
