how many people keep their everquest addiction private?

[visage]

Come on now... for anyone who spent over four hours playing this game daily, who seriusly tries to tell anyone. I remember being 15 and trying to convince people this game was great. When you try to explain Everquest to someone, least 10 years ago.... people looked at you oddly...

[Nocte]

I play *maybe* once a week during busy terms and I still don't tell people I play EQ.

i dress up like my shadowknight when i go to the cheetos store for more rations i mean cheetos

Ye onetime a dude I worked with started started talking about Aion. I told him I played Everquest, he looked at me , like I had a disease... he was not convinced, i then was like oh jk

[gotrocks]

gf and a small handful of friends know i play.

Not really because i'm embarrassed, just that no one else would really care, so the people i've told are people that I tried to get to come play (only one did)

[Raavak]

I would tell people, if I had human contact.

Funny you mention this... Back in the day my friends would get "crafty" in there methods to get me out of the house. I didn't talk about the game much but they knew my addiction.
Here's a few examples...

One time my friends pulled up... I will use my char name
ince my real name is no ones business on here :) "Hatelore get in the car dude" why? "Dude just get in the car you got shotgun" Fuck u why. "Hatelore... If you don't get in the car I swear to god you'll regret it" ok but why? " dude we are leaving get your shoes" So I run upstairs and quit out. I come outside and get in the car, they have 2 joints rolled with bible paper, that are about a foot long... And one of our cute friends topless ready to sit on my lap. That was a crazy night..

Another time they got an extension ladder and raided my room, about 20 people, hahaha. They got creative. But I'm still addicted! Even after marriage and kids.


Do I talk about the game much? No... I learned long ago peeps aren't interested in my dragon raids. Lol

[hatelore]

And for the record, her toys were huge, and perfect, and it was a hell of a night. Haha

[hatelore]

Tits not toys!

I dated a chick when i was 18. She hated my addiction. I finally got her to play ans got her addicted!!!! Dude for her birthday I got her 100k pp and would regularly get sexual favors from her for eq items. Was so boss back in the day haha

[nuglord]

It's only funny cause my friend did this, but he had a shirt with his char name and level, and memorabilia of his toons all over his wall......

[big league chew]

[Barkingturtle]

I have a body pillow that looks like Firiona Vie.

[big league chew]

[hatelore]

How many bottles of piss did your mom and dad find in your room??

[hatelore]

None, but I used to toke out my window and one time they found this huge ass one paper joint that looked impossible to roll. think they were pissed, yet impressed that anyone could fit so much weed in 1 zigzag.

When I was fifteen or sixteen my dad came home and found my friends and I all ditching school, smoking this five-foot steam-roller we'd fashioned from a length of PVC. It was rad, had this piston and this spring mechanism so it was like an unwieldy, semi-portable gravity bong. Anyway, I tried to hide it but it was huge so he found it and chased me out of the house. He was swinging it around like but I was too fast and then he spear-chucked it at me but I ducked and it hit his van and put this deep dent in the side. I ran and hid in a trashcan the end.

In highschool Brittany would call me up...." Chase, why aren't you comming with me to Chris's party"? I be like.. " Brittany, I fuckin told you Fridays are the day I get to kill dragons and gods online with my bros!!!! Wtf!!!!" Brittany says, " what!!! Imma suck some one elses dick then!!!! Choose a game over me!!! I be like, " Fuck if I care your little sister Cassie, said she needs help with her homework...

[hatelore]

Hahaha that's good shit! Lol yeah we were inventive too. But we used to mainly enjoy rolling these giant joints. One time the same friend that pulled up with the topless hoe came by our friends house with 2 garbage bags full of stolen weed. It wasn't the best weed but we rolled up a joint the size of a t-baller's bat and attempted a smog out in his charger with like 10 people . I thought I was going to die in that car. No room, windows rolled up, with 10 people packed like sardines in a 2 door car. The good ol days.

After a few weeks we broke down the roach from that joint and had like a half oz. Fun times.

My wife was the founder. in 2002 or so, some Aussie company did a documentary on "gaming addiction," and did an interview with us. It is online somewhere. In the vid I show them my character. I was all excited because we had just downed the emperor (server 2nd guild!) and I used my hoarded DKP to buy Gebron's Demented Cloak. I am fairly sure my Magelo profile still has that on it -- I stopped playing when eq2 cameout and my guildloved there.

By the time of that interview, we had come to terms. It was just strange back then, to have an "online life" I guess. But I am an insomniac! EQ was a godsend for me!

But then you you have rabid anti-gamers like Liz Woolsey (?) who never could get over her hatred of these pixelated alter-egos we have.

[myriverse]

It's only an addiction if it causes a problem in your life. It never did. So...

[kotton05]

no one really knows, had a chick see me get a batphone in january, couldn't comprehend no pause button lol.

And for the record, her toys were huge, and perfect, and it was a hell of a night. Haha
