I was a hardcore Everquest player prior to WoW. I actually ran the biggest market site at the time, EQPrices.com.

So you want to talk about aging ... but yes, WoW Classic, while interesting, was not enough to get me back in.

And I played at launch. So I know all about having to carry around arrows and all that other jazz.

I played EQ as a young kid and I remember EQPrices! Really cool. Never bought anything, though, not having money and all that.
