At what age did you first start playing EverQuest, and what draws you in?

Personally I started playing at around age 9 or 10 when the game had just hit the market... And although I wasn't mature enough to understand the depth, I sure could appreciate the complexity of such a magnificent game. Meeting other players and just talking to them about anything and everything as the years went on is what made me love EverQuest.

I'll admit that I am human, and I pass the regular Ol Joe on the street and I'm not one to take a conversation farther than a simple hello at times with new people. Why? Because of the face value effect... And because I've been a generally shy person when I'm not working. EverQuest allowed me to not use the physical form as an awkward excuse to not get to know many people, and I learned to appreciate a lot of good qualities in people that I seemed to pass up in real life.

Of course I love the loot, the grind, and the quest... But ultimately I loved the culture I discovered among the players, and the experiences I shared with them over the past 12 years.

So let me know! What age were you? Why come back to such an "outdated" game? I hope that one day I can share experiences with you fellow players, and I can enjoy the game just like I did back in the day!
