What crazy things did EQ make you do back in the day?

[Bristletoe]

I was telling my son, who plays with me now, about the My crazy love for EQ and the things I'd do to play it. I'd wait for my parents to go to bed and I'd go downstairs and put the computer monitor under the computer desk and put a blanket over the desk. I'd play for hours because the light wouldn't wake my parents up. It's funny because that is how I learned to type!!! I love EQ! So many good memories. Anyone have something that is funny that you did because of EQ?

Another story: my brother and I were really close and we played Everquest together on Tunare server in "order of concord" guild. My parents decided to move to Utah and my brother stayed in Illinois. In order to find time to play with him, I'd run home as fast as I could for my 45 minute school lunch break. He was a Druid so he would constantly be kiting things so id randomly just pop up and start hitting them as a monk. It was our time to connect! Good times

I introduced my friend to EQ unknowing he had a terribly addictive personality. He ended up playing 16 hours daily like a normal person for years. It was awesome because he as ALWAYS on for buffs, anything, he didnt seem to even have an agenda, just roaming around and buffing people.

He stopped showing up at school, and he put black trash bags up on all the windows. He was still online though. His parents tried to do an intervention and things like that to no success.

He ended up getting a blood clot in his leg from being immobile so long and they had to amputate one of them, he still plays MMORPGS all day every day.

I feel sort of bad because I gave him that first taste of pixil

Jesus fucking christ..

Worst thing I probably did was make my girlfriend watch me play for hours like an asshole. That or piss off my parents with late night gaming sessions after bedtime on school nights.

My best friend at the time and I used to play EQ together. We were also coworkers. His primary was a Human Monk, mine was a Dark Elf SK. I also had a Wood Elf Druid on my same account who was always camped nearby for buffs and selling.

One day we decided to duo-camp Raster in Guk for his Monk, while not missing any work, so we decided to change our life schedules to what we called "vampire hours". We'd work 8am-5pm, go home and sleep, then wake up at midnight and log on, camping Raster and killing his PHs over and over until 7am, then went to work. Repeat.

This process took a week, but we finally got him. Meanwhile, all of our alts got EE bags and other goodies from Guk.

I spent so much time in Guk, I haven't even set foot into it on P99.... Not yet anyway.

Lol I still remember setting my alarm for 2 hours early so that I could get up and level for a little bit before school.
