A great option for you is the 30 day free trial for the origonal game, no expansions. This means you can give the game a pretty good work out to see if you like the basic idea and gameplay of EQ without it costing you a cent. If you decide that you do want to play, just buy the expansions and you're all set.

That said, Star Wars Galaxies is coming out in like a month, and EQ2 in a couple of months. If the people who have been trying to get you to play EQ are going to switch to them, there's no point in getting started here with out your friends.

EQ2 isn't due out for quite a while. From the EQ2 FAQ on the Website:

When will EQII be released?
Our anticipated launch date is 4th Quarter 2003.

I'm personally guessing they'll try to get it in time for the holiday season, miss, and end up launching it on the five-year anniversary of the original Everquest (about March 2004). :?
