September the 11th 2001, I was playing EQ when my mobile rang, it was a call from someone I'd not spoken with for a few years, a friend I'd gone to school with, in between breathes he hurriedly told me to turn on the news, he was convinced world war 3 had started.
He was working in a building that overlooked the twin towers and had a clear view as the first plane crashed into the towers.
He was able to escape the chaos that day.
My friend Shotty wasn't so lucky, I'd known Marc since I'd started playing EQ he'd played a mage from day one, originally called Shotgun, but a GM had changed his name to Shotty.
He was an investment banker working in the twin towers, he never came home.
Today I'll not be playing EQ, I've not played EQ on this day for the past 18 years, today my thoughts are with those who have lost friends, family and loved ones on this day, Sept 11 2001.
Approx 2977 people died, RIP to all of them.
