Because p99 I was able to know that a Lapis Lazuli was blue thereby enabling me to get a question on my history midterm right!

Post ways that eq or p99 has influenced your life.

Thank you Rogean for making eq~

I started playing when I was 13 or 14. I would have words on vocabulary tests that I never knew before playing EQ. Alacrity was one of the ones I can remember.

When i was a kid, we had some stupid vocab thing we did in english class every week, and one of the words was "ensnare" which i originally had learned from playing everquest the year prior lol

Because of Everquest i learned that if you stab someone from the back they take more damage and dodge less.

I got a 110 on a spelling test because I could spell amethyst and knew what color it was [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Learned a lot of English back when we first moved to the states (from Russia) from playing the game, talking to people etc. Also made me be able to type close to 80-90 words per minute due to having to type SUPER FAST raid commands/orders. Since things like Vent/Teamspeak didnt really exist, and even then cant really use those on a 56k modem :P

I learned a great deal of English too, developed mad typing skills and learned all kinds of other random things such as the names and colours of gems mentioned by others.

Also, it taught me to never take a game too serious and to pull the plug if needed [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]
