Earlier this week, Justin mentioned that he was toying around in classic EverQuest, and he said he was playing through the tutorial. That surprised me because I have no memory of a tutorial back in the day, though it’s totally possible I’ve just forgotten all about it and I’m sure someone is going to the comments right now to refresh my memory!
What I do remember is rolling an Enchanter in beta and getting super lost in pitch black tunnels somewhere on Odus (between the city and outskirts, maybe?) before I even killed a single newbie mob.

Every morning, the Massively Overpowered writers team up with mascot Mo to ask MMORPG players pointed questions about the massively multiplayer online roleplaying genre. Grab a mug of your preferred beverage and take a stab at answering the question posed in today’s Daily Grind!
