Do you remember why you played EQ?

[Knuckle]

I saw some vintage G4 game reviews recently, and it reminded me that the very first time I got hooked on the idea of playing EQ was from their ZDTV days of what was then called either xtended-play or another earlier variation of a games review program. When they did the review on everquest I remember watching them show a troll wandering around and find a hidden wall into a tunnel, and describing how vast the world was and all the cities. Watching the various cutscenes to different action and dungeons, and felt like I was going to have to get that game.

My birthday rolls around a few months after Kunark's launch and I unexpectedly received a copy, with an awkward scene of a high elf in bondage to a lizardman for all the immediate family to see and question.

Anyway, I am also stealthily asking if anyone remembers that review on Gamespot TV / ZDTV / G4 where they did the review on Everquest and found a video clip, as my searches have yielded nothing.

Also how did you first hear about/want to play EQ.
