I remember EverQuest being called EverCrack back in the day before WoW.

I read "EverQuest" and my brain commented, "You mean EverCrack," immediately.

My cousin was horrifically addicted. Luckily for me, my opinion on subscribing to a game was, "no matter how good a game is, I'm not paying for it over and over, " even in middle school, so he couldn't convince me to try it.
