EverQuesting in Real Life

Are you a fan of the game? If you haven’t played it, you’ve heard of it. If you haven’t heard of it, you’re probably not reading this. In the unlikely event that you are visiting and haven’t heard, EverQuest is currently the most popular of the MMORPG’s available, where you get to play a character and adventure online with thousands of others at the same time. It’s a gigantic graphical chat world with rules and special effects under the guise of a game. No, it really is a game but the social aspect overpowers most of that gameyness feel.

Recently the EQ division at Verant Interactive have sponsered a few popular get-togethers (faires) for fans of the game at major cities throughout the USA. This time, in Baltimore, they expanded an idea from a previous faire. Read all about one person’s recapitulation of what it was like to play an EverQuest NPC at the faire’s new main activity.
