black guys play EQ?

Funny you should mention that, my good man.

In 2001, I took a job as a manager at a local Gamestop. I was an avid Everquest player at the time, so when people would come in to buy expansions, I would always have a side conversation with them.

Well, one day a black guy around 6'6 came to the counter, holding in his hand the Vellious expansion. We talked about Everquest for a good 10 minutes, swapping war stories and small strategies.

Then came the question: "What do you play?"

I stated I played a half-elf paladin...his answer: A female woodelf druid, and he specificly said "you know, the blonde one?"

I looked at him with disbelief, but he swore up and down he did it because people gave him items and money for free, and that he was now attached to the character.

True story.
