Yes. Ranger has a full bank full of nostalgic things for that very reason. When we all had memories of "growing up"

What do you like best about EverQuest?
The people are what make me coming back. You develop such a relationship with people that it's hard to put down once you realize there are real people behind the pixels.

What do you get out of playing EverQuest?
Camaraderie, friendships that last a lifetime, being able to beat the crap out of monsters when I have had a crappy day, and feeling better about life after that.

Describe your best experience from playing EverQuest?
When Darks and my guild busted through the elemental planes for the first time and dropping The Rathe Council like a bad habit. At the time I was playing my cleric which I still love to this day and it went off so smoothly so strongly like we had done it a million times. My healing strategy is what brought us the win and kicked us into the plane of time.

Do you run or work for an EverQuest Fan Site?
Sadly, no.
