When was your first experience with Everquest?

[Thanatos7176]

Started playing pre-Kunark, I can't remember the exact day, but it was somewhere around Dec. 99 - Feb. '00. I remember this was the first time I played an MMO, so wanted to talk to other players. I had made a high elf, so ran out of the city to find people, next thing I know, I was dead, said killed by Orc Pawn. So I ran back out again...killed by Orc Pawn. Me being a noob, didn't realize this as a mob, and thought it was some wise-ass player who named himself Orc Pawn, so I started yelling through the zone "Damn you Orc Pawn, fight me like a man you noob!" And got thoroughly lol'ed at. Good times....
