I've just reconnected my Everquest account and I spent the whole of yesterday evening playing EQ. Sweet.

Didn't realize how much time I've spent on it so far until yesterday, thinking back to how most of my evenings during my year in NIE while I was staying in the hall were spent on EQ.

Yesterday evening the game felt so new again even though I'm not strictly speaking a newbie. And it felt really nice. I remember the first time I took a boat ride from Butcherblock in Faydwer across to Antonica - Zain's guild member was bringing me to the Oasis of Marr to get some good experience in a jiffy. And how I had to go all the way back to Kelethin by my little self. That was really exciting and nerve wrecking. I was still new to EQ at that time and I didn't know if I'd make it back in one piece. :)

Those were the good old days without Planes of Power. Now, I think EQ players don't really appreciate the time spent travelling, the preparation that one makes before going on a journey. :) We just pop onto the PoK and fwoooosh we're off to our destination.

But as much time as I spent playing EQ I never really got into it in great detail. Most of my time was spent getting xp to level up and I didn't spend much time working on other skills, talking to people or exploring. I'd like to do all that too this time, if I have the time to. :)

I'm just waiting for John and Zain to come back to EQ too. Hurry up guys. :P
