Y do u play EQ?

[maerilith]

It's Saturday evening and I am thinking of starting another character for casual play.

I'm dreading the hours I will probably still waste infront of my computer while playing this game.

But it seems better than any other option right now other than taking a shower/hotbath (which I will do anyway, whether I played EQ or not, because I don't poopsock)

But I'de kind of just love to have the nostalgia of buffing a bunch of newbs or leveling/grouping/grinding in some of my old out of the way and favorite haunts again...

liek this time around I just want a level 60 druid so that when I get that feel again I can just log in and grab a bunch of people, sow, port, and buff, and do something once in awhile with little commitment or planning, i don't mind carrying my groups at all either, it's kind of fun usually when they are nice chill people who appreciate it

No I don't want to slay dragons, or compete for pixels, or farm gear or play a particularly challenging class.

I just want to watch frogloks die in guk with random players and kobolds in solb and goblins in re and permafrost and just have some ez going fun, not power grinding

maybe grab a nice pair of gatorscale leggings and wolf fur slippers and a chitin shell shield and a silvry scimitar and a lockjaw hide vest

i kind of don't care if I get level 30+ again, I still have 2 fully geared toons here ready to go


but

I don't even want to twink and I know I will loose this weekend and most of this weeks nights to EQ if I did this and started again

I could keep it under control, it might even get me inspired and motivated in school again and give me a desire to manage my time a little better

.... other than EQ, I want to lose weight, and get some cardio so I could eat donuts again without making myself sick and becoming a fat gross bitch :(

Y Does any1 play eq?

To get higher level to get more platinum to get more gear to twink a character to get higher level to get more platinum to get more gear to twink a new character to get higher level to help get more platinum to get more gear to twink a new character....

or

To raid the same mobs over and over to get better gear to raid better the same mobs over and over to get better gear to raid the same mobs over and over...

[maerilith]

u mean u do this for a false sense of achievement in an environment with other like minded people who are sometimes not just npcs?

i know gustoo likes to just help people

I know I like to do that, but I get bored quickly other than leveling in a group there's no carrot I can usually hold to keep myself playing if I miss a few days, my last time I took a break from EQ I havnt been back since almost a yr

100% nostalgia. EQ is not a game to take seriously. Not as an adult.

[maerilith]

I made it exactly 49 minutes. And I think my nostalgia is re-sated. Though server is thriving...

I play it for the pussy.

Play it to unwind cuz I'm a fukkn nerd and while I love my wife and daughter when they go to bed at night I want to feel the follicles of my neckbeard tingle once again.

Better than that bourbon kick I had goin for a while

This is me

[Reguiy]

I play it because you can put as much or as little effort as you wish to put in. Also, the drama is funny.

[Pokesan]

because it's fun. video games are fun. if you are playing a video game and you're not having fun, stop playing that video game. find something fun instead!

[FoxxHound]

I play it because DAoC Uthgard isn't out yet.

[Pint]

I play bc I don't feel alive unless my jimmy's are rustled

[Clark]

[myriverse]

I just want to watch frogloks die
This is nearest and dearest to my heart.

[Dac321]

I play because it's the only game that has nailed the combination of gaming and social media (IMO). I haven't seen a game to this day accomplish this...Even though most people troll these days, and are absolutely terrible to one another, it still adds a particular feeling that the world is alive.

That, and killing zombies in Unrest is badass.

[maerilith]

So I liquidated my rogue, (I only got time to devote to 1 char at a time) and bought enough twink gear to make it to level 25 on my druid

lets seehow long my nostalgia immersion levels maintain now, got spring break coming up so that'll be kewl too

^ it's all about the small things in EQ. charming a mob that someone pulled and dragging it through the zone before you zone out. training griffons to the tunnel. telling people that camping the forager/hunter cycle is easy, or that the wurm scale coat mobs don't summon

This is me 100%

[maerilith]

I enjoy the griffons too :)

[Zehrikrom]

I started playing to experience the times when not everything was a rush, where people bonded with their characters and other people through both happiness and hardship.

And then I get online and everything's min/max and numbers and iksar necro alts and sow pls.
