Remembering EverQuest - Ten Years of Memories - Page 2

Posted Thu, Mar 12, 2009 by Cody Bye

I actually have two virtual memories that I fondly remember. I distinctly recall the first time I saw a female human character wearing a set of chainmail. Also, bear in mind that I was still a relatively young man ten years ago. It was probably four weeks after the release of the game, and chainmail was finally becoming a bit easier to find. Although I'd seen plenty of male avatars with the stuff on (the half-elf set was fantastic looking), I'll always remember the chainmail thong that graced my screen in Qeynos Hills.

My second memory revolves more around the social aspect of EverQuest. Thanks to the incredibly long spawn times on some of the monsters, your random pick-up group for the night had a very high chance of becoming some of your closest friends in the game. This happened to me in Blackburrow when my barbarian warrior, Lico, decided to group up with a half-elf druid, a half-elven ranger, and a human paladin. Let's just say that we were from opposite sides of the country and on completely different walks of life, but we became amazing friends in a matter of hours.
