I started playing Everquest in 2000 when I was nine years old! My stepdad played and he was gracious enough  to let me create a ranger on his account under the condition that I had to keep my grades up in school. I didn’t get to play much since he played when he was home, but for about three years I played after school and then watched him play when he got home. For my 12th birthday he bought me my own account and let me transfer my ranger onto it. I enjoyed his company online with me until 2010 when I went to college and he stopped logging in. It turns out Everquest had lost its appeal to him years ago—but he played anyway because he knew I enjoyed playing it with him. I graduated college in December and it finally hit me that I’ve been playing the same game for more than half of my entire life.
