During the course of my tenure at Kotaku I've referenced my days in EverQuest on many occasions, but I've never elaborated on what went down back then.Recent events in my life have brought that period to the fore, and I've decided to share my experience with our readers.In November of 2000, my life was going well.I had a lovely girlfriend, a serviceable vehicle, and a job that paid more than enough for me to survive while catering to my replica Cartier w25067z6 watch increasingly expensive video game habit.Within four months, it would all be gone.Good Intentions At the time I was sharing an apartment with a friend of mine named Dustin.Dustin was a great guy, but he spent his entire downtime sitting in front of his computer, playing a video game called EverQuest.
I had encountered the game before, having participated in the beta for Sony Online Entertainment's massively popular multiplayer game, but once the game went live I lost interest.I just couldn't see myself paying a monthly fee just to play a computer game.Oh, how things have changed.Having nothing much else to do at the time, I'd sit and replica Cartier wf9002y7 watch Dustin play.He'd explain what his Monk character was doing in the game.I was a spectator as he progressed, learning to feign death, earning new weapons, and taking on greater challenges as he got closer and closer to the level cap.So when I wasn't spending time with my girlfriend, Emily, I would watch Dustin play.
Or I would tool around on various text-based MUSHes and MOOs online, role-playing with people all over the world.I'd been into science fiction, fantasy, and comic books since I was very young, so slipping into an imaginary world came easy to me.Perhaps a little too easy.Towards the end of 2000, Emily and I broke up.The reasoning behind this replica Cartier WF9008Z8 Ladie's watch is far too stupid to delve into…let's just say we were both young and a bit foolish.I became depressed, and Dustin had just the thing to cheer me up.The Scars of Velious expansion for EverQuest came out in December of 2000.
