What do you like best about EverQuest? The fact that there is so much to do whether its working on content or quests or just talking to friends.
What do you get out of playing EverQuest? Cheap entertainment :P
Describe your best experience from playing EverQuest? Hard to just limit this to one point, I would say the best times are finishing a big quest or winning raids for the first time with my guild.
