Another Happy Birthday Can you believe, Everque…

Another Happy Birthday

Can you believe, Everquest is 5 years old this month!

When we started playing (5 years ago… wow) we never thought the game would continue on this long, one of the longest shelf lives in my world of short attention spans. I have made many friends through this game, it taught me the delicacies of politics and brought me a trip to denmark in its honor. Now, it seems to have even been my foot in the door to my academic future. Sitting here baffled, that this game has brought so many things to my life, regardless of the negative press and evil things it has “forced” people to do, I think we should take this time to see the good things it has brought to people as well.
