      That’s so cool.

      I didn’t get to play much EverQuest (I played a lot of WoW though), but it seemed like people forming very deep companionships through MMORPGs was very common.

      I don’t play many online games anymore in my old age and decrepitude, but do people still form these kinds of relationships via online gaming?

      Also, I was first to introduce EverQuest to my friend group, but never played much due to the subscription requirement. One of my best friends, however, became totally addicted and dropped out of college because of the game. I always felt a little responsible for that…

    I remember being in beta phase 3, was the most awesome experience coming out of Halas with my brother and into Everfrost for the first time. Seeing the zone open up, seemed so vast at the time. Back then there was nothing else like it.

      I know, everything I gaming is such a known quantity these days. I miss the sense of mystery and discovery in these old MMORPGs. I feel like I’ve been chasing the feeling of playing early WoW for like 20 years. I think the Souls games have probably came the closet to scratching that itch in recent times.
