My roommate, perhaps tired of my moping over my lost love, picked up a copy of the game for me as a Christmas present.I installed it, created a half-elven Bard, and soon our apartment had two guys in the living room at all hours of the day, faces replica Cartier W25062X9 WoMen's watch bathed in the glow of monitors.Within a week, the game that hadn't affected me at all nearly two years previously had become an important part of my life.Soon, it would become my life.If I wasn't asleep or at work, I was playing EverQuest.The former was becoming a rarity.I would go into work, and I would still hear the sounds of EverQuest orcs in my head.
All I had to do was close my eyes and I was speeding through the Greater Faydark zone, killing pixies and turning in quest items.In January of 2001, a man with a tow truck came to my place of employment and took my car away.I had fallen behind on payments without realizing it, and Nissan had decided they wanted my Sentra back.My replica Cartier W25065Z5 Watch first thought as I watched the tow truck drive away was how many hours walking to and from work would take from my EverQuest time.I worked at a company called Franchise Opportunities, maintaining and creating websites, but increasingly my time there was spent either communicating with my EverQuest friends or browsing websites for tips on the best equipment and techniques for grinding experience points and gold.
It was impossible for my co-workers not to notice.In February of 2001, Joseph Lunsford, the owner of the company, called me into his office.""It wasn't an easy decision,"" Lunsford told me this month when I went to see him and talk to him about the person I used to be.""You were was amazingly bright.I was convinced there wasn't anything you couldn't do.You showed so much promise, but your interest in work just fell off.Projects replica Cartier W25075Z5 Watch started taking longer to get done, and it was obvious your head wasn't in it.You left me no choice."" I was in tears back then.I felt unbelievably pathetic.I had no car.I had no job.Joe had handed me my last paycheck and about $120 he had in his wallet, and sent me on my way.
