I had a friend decide to quit high school over Everquest. I love gaming but I saw what early MMOs did and it freaked me out so bad I never touched WOW, but did play others such as Guild Wars, POE and such. I had such fun with early MUDs and couldn't wait until real-time MP gaming was possible. When it got here it was immediately defied.

Now it's all just a cash grab/casino/skinner box/insert evil
