Today marks the 10th anniversary of the game that changed the MMO world.  It is difficult to believe that it was more than 10 years ago since I first logged into EQ’s beta server, and in doing so, changed my gaming world forever.  I have said it before, but no other game gave me such enjoyment and satisfaction.  Playing Everquest introduced me to an amazing game world filled with amazing people, both good and bad.  I still enjoy many of the friendships that began while playing EQ.  The accomplishments, failures, good times, and bad all add up to the best times of my gaming life.

Sony is celebrating this anniversary with special events, media, and stories.  You can see what they are offering at the official 10th anniversary site.  Check it out if you feel the need for some good ol’ nostalgia.  As a bonus, here are a few old school Everquest screenshots of my own.  Click the thumbnails for a larger version.
