When I learned that I really loved RPGs in all that they do, I kept an eye out for their aspects in game magazines. One day I saw a full page ad for Everquest. My adolescent mind exploded. I was desperate to try it out. Except I needed my moms permission to get a subscription. She said no. Crushing disappointment followed.

I put Everyquest in the back of my brain, never thinking I could actually play it. Even after growing up and diving into WoW and other MMO's, I've never tried the OG that inspired them all, until now.

Oh boy, it does not age well. My childhood self would have had the patience to comb through its UI but I couldn't do it. I hard quit after 15 minutes.

All is not lost. My dwarf paladin slayed the most evil incarnate beast, known as the 'Rabbit'. Fear not denizens of Everquest, you may adventure safely now!

Initially played this game on PC, then transitioned to Macintosh for years after. Unfortunately the Macintosh servers were shut down, and I can no longer play without purchasing a PC.

By far my favorite game that I've ever played, I'll always cherish it.
