Schilling's EverQuest habit came to light after a 2001 game when his former Philadelphia Phillies teammate Doug Glanville hit two homers off of Schilling, who had just joined the Arizona Diamondbacks. Glanville explained to a writer for ESPN.com that the homers were payback for Schilling's role in the death of Bing- bong, Glanville's beloved, dwarven paladin.

Glanville's tale: "One day, Schill was playing his character, Cylc, and he asked me to team up with him in Faydwer, in the zone of the Butcherblock Mountains, to kill Aviaks, which are basically walking birds." The pair encountered danger, according to Glanville, and Schilling ran away: "I vowed revenge on the soul of Bingbong, for the negligent actions of Cylc." Hence the two homers.

Later, Allakhazam offered Schilling the chance to tell his side of the story. "C'mon dude, you ever hear of a cleric pulling in a group with a paladin?" Schilling answered. "Anyone with a lick of sense in EQ could see right through [Glanville's] babbling and knows that he was the train conductor in that entire episode. Doug's the goods though. Fun as hell to group with. His ranger is around 30 now. Nahir is his name. Give him a tell if you want a fun guy to group with. He experiments with other characters a lot more than I do though."
