My DH is crafting backpacks for his sons to use in Everquest. I don't play that. I am a one game gal.
Is Everquest similar in any way to World of Warcraft? I have watched my mom's husband and my sister play Everquest.

Yes, Everquest and WoW have many similarities. They're both the same general type of game, Massively Mutiplayer Online Role Playing Game. They also both happen to have a more or less "high fantasy" setting (meaning it's an elaborate alternate world with lots of magic, though WoW doesn't take itself seriously so it's got some elements that might be called "low fantasy" as well.) They also share a lot of the elements common to MMORPGs, multiple races, a developed class system, an in-game economy, questing, monster slaying, etc.
To a non-player there isn't a huge amount of difference between the two. They're at least as much alike as Super Mario World and Sonic the Hedgehog. Or SimCity 2000 and Roller Coaster Tycoon. Or Bridge and Spades (the card games, at least I think those two are closer than say Bridge and Poker). Or indoor soccer and outdoor soccer.

Graphics are more detailed in Everquest. You can spend a great chunk of time Making equipment, etc. Although not as much time as it used to take a few years back. The theme song drives me nuts... good instrumentation but it loops around and around like the music you hear standing in line for a ride in the amusement park.
Yesterday I took the day off from the computer. No role playing games, no e-mail, no crosswalk forums... we went for a tour/ hike up Panola Mountain here in GA. The weather could not have been nicer and the tour guides were fun and informative. Took the motorcycle out there and back and listened to classical piano on the drive home (yes, the bike has a cd player).
So tonight's quandry will be, do I want to play my rouge or my elf? Do I feel like being sneaky (and short) and find gogs and gears or swift (and tall) and try to rebalance nature?
And my team mate, my dear sweet wonderful talented intelligent husband doesn't sneak attack me again.

I go to the range sometimes with my dad, but I didn't go this summer when I was visiting him.

Looked into WOW but was alittle too cartoonish for me, so I stuck with Dark Age of Camelot :)

I don't know if any of the WoW players here also watch Stargate Atlantis, but the writers made a big oops concerning the game. In last night's episode one of the characters was trying to distract a geeky scientist by pretending to be interested in WoW. The scientist, supposedly an obsessed WoW player, was talking about his character being a level 75 mage. Correct me if I'm wrong, but I thought the level cap was 70 in the beta for the new expansion (have they even started the beta for the Burning Crusade)?

Level 60 is the current max. I am sure the expansion will be out so people can put it on their Christmas lists.
I like the cartoony look of WOW. That is one reason Everquest doesn't appeal to me. An odd mix of trying to look real but still kinda "off". It doesn't please my eye. Everquest II requires alot of computer for all of those graphics.
But then again City of Heros is too cartoony for me. But developing the look of your character at the beginning is interesting because of the huge number of choices and options. I wish WOW had that many options.

Do you have to pay to play WoW? Do you have to pay for extra stuff to get good at the game? My mom's husband bought books about Everquest to help him play the game better.
