Play EQ Trilogy Free for 30 Days

[Ginkasa]

EQ hates me. With a massive and giant passion that burns so brightly that small woodland creatures are incinerated by its heat if they draw too near.

EQ hates me like Satan hates Jesus.

EQ hates me like a fat kid loves cake.

EQ hates me as much as an inanimate MMORPG can hate a living breating human being.

I originally bought the "Everquest Trilogy" pack thing back when all EQ had were the two expansion packs. My dad tried to install it, but our video card wasn't good enough. My dad, genius that he is, decided to try to download the software for a better one without having the actual hardware. Shot our color settings. We had like...only 16 colors.

We eventually got that fixed and bought a better graphics card (like a year later). Installed Everquest. I played it. Loved it. Got hooked on it. Computer fried. Completely. It was toast. I think we buried it when we realized we couldn't fix it (or maybe its sitting in a box somewhere...I don't know).

That was in Sept. '02. Started using my mom's laptop. EQ didn't fit, so I couldn't play it.

Lost all my data since my mom wouldn't pay for a game I couldn't play (and I couldn't afford it myself, super poor).

Then my dad bought a computer. One more than capable of handling EQ. No internet. Had to wait a few months for that.

He got internet eventually. I installed EQ and began anew. Except it wouldn't accept my dad's card. Couldn't play if I couldn't subscribe.

We got that figured out. I started playing again. I had a wondrous time...for about a week. I don't remember which plan I got, but my subscription was ended long before it was supposed to. It said we had to pay again. My dad was having nothing of that, so I lost EQ once again.

That was, I think, when I finally realized that I was never destined to be with EQ. I would never actually get past level 12.

Woe is me....

Probably why I keep neglecting to buy FFXI... Too many bad EQ memories... *sniffle*
