I still spend time remembering the times I had in Everquest, a few screengrabs I still have [1]. A game where dying had real consequences, sometimes very bad.

We were playing on dial-up, my friend regularly clocked up $500 of call charges a month. We called it Evercrack for a reason.

- andrepd 11y agoYou have no idea how charming those screengrabs are :O
- SixSigma 11y agoIt is amusing to thing how real it all seemed when looking at those blocky things. For a while I played with 3D shutter glasses but the HUD was 2d overlayed so it was only for the enjoyment of the effect. We played with such wonder, and we were 20 years old. The EQ world was so hostile, a mechanic that I won't think will be repeated.
