That is very cool! EverQuest is a game that I have not tried my hand at. However, it does remind me of Ultima Online (which I used to play quite often).
Ive played EQ for many years, from 2001 till now, although I don't do much anymore and for the last couple years I usually just buy a couple months at a time then stay away for a month. I do the Project 1999 mainly now.
