If you are relatively brand new to Everquest (1 year or younger), what enticed you to start playing this late?
For me, I finally got tired of hearing all of my brother's great stories, and decided I wanted to make my own.
<gasp> A fellow RO veteran! That was my first MMO, as well. It's, actually, the one I will always return to when I don't have another MMO to keep me company.I'm not new but it was my first MMO (unless you count Ragnarok Online). I just keep coming back to it no matter how many times I step away. Nostalgia is a hell of a drug.

I'm loving all of these responses. Perhaps Redbot is right that I'm like the only true newbie (started 2 months ago). However, regardless of the graphics and lack of modernization, the game's content is still quite fun for me.
I still play Exitilus, Legend of the Red Dragon, and Tradewars 2020 on BBS systems. LolI'm a 'New Player' just I'm writing this 20 years late I guess...I follwed EQ I beleive during 97 or 98 whever I had first heard of it. I worked at a Computer Sales place and a friend wound up getting beta access..jerk never gave me access until the last week of Beta btw. I played D&D and other Pen and Paper fantasy games as well as computer ones like AOL NeverWinter (I was stil in the ARMY back then), Bard's Tale, Ultima, even some BBS stuff. So Everquest pre release video and what McQauid would talk about in interviwes TOTALLY drew me in ! In some way of hindsight, I was a Roleplayer back in 99...I did not see or even care about game mechanics..if I did think about it, I would have been a raider or MQ'er. I still love what Everquest presents, even as it got smaller in expansion scope, but it still provides so much fun.
My 4 and 5 year old girls love seeing me play EQ.. to the point they are ACTUALLY new players because they like running characters around and doing small stuff in EQ. They even have their own characters. Now I just gotta find some cheap laptops or desktops I can get for them for EQ/School thanks to Covid..
