Describe your best experience from playing EverQuest?
I remember way back when hubby had to get me my own acct and comp and after that couldn't afford to swap the first toon I made to it so I started over and leveled as fast as I could to catch up with hubby and friends. When I was finally able to group with them they tucked the poor shammy under their arms and took me places I shouldn't have seen at the level I was.
