Son, I've already paid $30 for this game

There is no way I'm going to let you use my credit card details to pay another $10 a month. I already paid for the game once, this is an obvious scam. We're taking the disc back to the store tomorrow for a refund and we'll get you some other game with your birthday money.

LOL...sO mUCh THis!!!1

Except I was in my mid-twenties and had a job in 1999 so, no.

I'm not sure how my parents ever tolerated eq as much as they did. I was in high school, paid for the game myself every month, but they definitely ended up with a second phone line for the modem the I never paid for. And then I just used the normal line to call my irl buddy while we were playing anyway.

They probably loved it because you stayed in your room and left them the hell alone.

Kid playing EQ was a free ticket to the bone zone for parents (not field of bone.... except that one time).

You know what else was going on in 1999? The internet bubble! VCs were throwing giant bucketloads of money at every shady pre-ebitda scam and I was lucky enough to get in. For the first time in my life I had more money then I knew what to do with. So obviously I invested in the fastest connection I could and had multiple subscriptions to everything. Those were the three best years of my life before it all came crashing down and I had to live under a bridge like a troll.
