In the grip of addiction, I surrender

[Darlok]

It's 12:03 am CST. My gf just left my place, and well, instead of getting stuff squared away for tomorrow, ...what am I doing? Well, "what had happened wuz,", I found an old Everquest CD in my desk drawer, and it had me remembering all the fun times I had playing the game. So now, I'm handling this gnoll issue in blackburrow. Need to hit level 14 with my Barb Shammy so that I can go conquer Unrest. This is not like me, I need to be focused on tomorrow, tomorrow's tasks. On school. On getting shit done. It all started when I installed some old video games, and came across an old EQ CD. But I'm playing around in Blackburrow. I had to login and make a character, run around Halas a little bit, and then kill some stuff in Everfrost and bam, like a junkie in recovery for years, or a sober drunk at a friend's wedding, BAM, I took that quick shot of EQ. It's how it happens to you. And now look at me. Pissing my night away, kissing away all that sweet extra sleep I could be getting in.

This. EQ screwed me pretty hard in high school. I still got in to a good uni, but the extra effort to catch up was not worth it!

I'm already noticing that I'm putting forth less effort into school....and my guy is only level 15.

EQ is like love. It consumes everything

If you truly are addicted, try to restrict yourself to one or two nights a week. You won't feel guilty for playing, and you'll love every second of it.

Welcome home

Dude needs an IP ban to help him away from the addiction.

I am in school now. I have a macbook air for school and eq is on my desktop at home. I did this on purpose. My buddies keep telling me they can install it on my mac but NO WAY.

I only got to play the occasional weekend for the last 6 weeks. But in 1 more week spring break hits, WATCH OUT. I am going to try to blow it all out of my system so I can concentrate for the second half of the semester.

My system is working. Also, if you do this, you will find fantasizing about eq is often more fun than actually playing it. My buddy and I dreamed up a mag cleric combo while we were on one of these eq trips. More talking and thinking about it has lead to our warrior/rng duo.

i Have a lvl60, a lvl55 and many alts. I obviously don't have the time to play these characters like they deserve to be played right now.

hmmz....how do you get game installed, and patched and be in blackburrow on p99 all from 1203am CST and your post at 1221am CST? I call shenanigans

[Dillian]

[maskedmelon]

I am confused... Though I am both inclined and ashamed to agree that fantasizing about EQ can be more fun than playing... sometimes...

[Darlok]

Fantasizing about EQ. Now that's a funny phrase- I swear I can remember being 17 and working a crappy retail job, and being so pissed off about having to do inventory or some bull- but then remembering about playing on my necro, running around with my pet and stuff and I swear it would instantly make me feel a little better. lol...
