What's the strangest place you've ever played EQ?

[Portasaurus]

With the proliferation of wireless broadband networks all over the place these days, I'm curious what everyone's most wild/crazy/remotest location from which you've logged into EQ/p99?

For me, it's probably a hotel or airport terminal. *yawn*

Looking for really "out there" responses here (on a boat, while camping in Wyoming, on a rollercoaster, from the space station, inside a nuclear reactor core, etc...)

The crazier the better!

When my wife had surgery and i had to stay in the hospital with her for 4 days. i diddent have a laptop so i had to lug my entire setup to the room, including a 32in tv i use for a monitor and my chair. Got some weird looks from the staff but i also got my jboot ring!

At school in my journalism class during the slow time of month after publication. I introduced the game to one girl in the class who subsequently became addicted.

I took me months and multiple tries even with help to get P1999 to work on my desktop. I know nothing about technology. No wild/crazy places for me :(

Riding down the interstate in the back of a minivan while on an LTE signal using my phone as a modem. The cell tower hand-offs didn't disconnect me and I fear kited a few guards in Highpass Hold on my shadow knight.

More recently, I camped the Ferocious Hammerhead in KK for a little more than an hour on my enchanter while riding in the back of an SUV while on a long trip. No disconnects with this one either. Although it did drop me to 300+ ms ping when LTE wasn't available.

I got a batphone to loot a vp rot while I was at a bar one night. Had my laptop in the car and mifi... ran out to the parking-lot, booted up on the hood of my car and logged in. I was able to loot the item with 1min left on the corpse. One of my best nerd moments ever.

I also played in the hospital while my wife was having surgery, brought my laptop and played at her side while she slept/recovered. I used my phone as a modem and had no issues disconnecting whatsoever. Not my proudest moment

This past month I paid 8 bucks for wireless internet at 38,000 feet up in the air. The connection was terrible but I still managed to log in and tunnel quest it up!

I was on a plane!

I don't look down upon this. I was in the hospital watching someone, and it was the night shift. I used a game to keep me awake. In the middle of the night, if I was not there to alarm the nurse of a low oxygen number and difficulty breathing the person I was watching might have died.

I've played in:
- A travel trailer's closet (it was tiny)
- A 7-11 in California
- My house's crawl space
- A friend's laundry room
- The local Subway
- A tennis field

A New York city hotel before P99 came around. Ran out of spending $$ with a day to spare because I'm terrible with money and after a final look around Manhattan the choice was obvious, get the laptop out.

Super immersed, what can I say?

My house's crawl space

why?

That sweet spot where being there for your loved ones meets making good use of the idle time. Well done sir.

A few years ago I was part of the pit crew team for Stone Bros at the Bathurst 1000 (Australias biggest motor race .. kinda on the scale on the Indy 500) I had been chatting to a few of the guys about gaming, so on the Saturday evening after qualifying I plugged my laptop into one the the pit monitors and logged in.

Didn't really "play" just ran around and did dumb stuff so they could see the game. We ended up with quite a crowd of watchers incl. guys like Mark Skaife, Rick & Todd Kelly (both huge gamers), Shane van Gisbergen and Garth Tander.

Was lotsa fun until Ross Stone (Team Owner) came in and when ballistic and pulled the plug.

Definitely the most unusual place I have ever logged into EQ!

[Pringles]

Outside of my home, I've only ever played from a hotel room when there was nothing else to do, even then I think thats only been once. Mainly I just cant stand gaming on laptops.

On a train using mifi - some strange looks.

[Clark]

Haha nice Buriedpast.

In vacation with Girlfriend at the hotel pool, close to the beach, sat in that pool chair with laptop and phone as connection, totally worth it even tho had lots of looks.

I am playing in Esperia right now. It's a tiny little commune in Italy in the province of Frosinone. It's about two hours south of Rome and it's one of the hidden gems of Italy. I don't play much at all while I travel but this is by far the most remote place I've ever played.

[zajurai]

why?
Internet wouldn't connect upstairs, so I wandered the house looking for a signal. For some unexplainable reason, the crawl space was the only place the neighbors' wifi was strong enough to play.

As an alternate in jury duty i was in another room during the deliberations near the judges office. used my phone to tether and play p99.

[Kutsumo]

Installed a standalone EQemu server on my laptop while I was on deployment floating around in the persian gulf so I could get my EQ fix. It was a lonely EQ experience.

I've logged in to EQ while doing hot laps at powercruise @ queensland raceway. Was doing some WOT tuning on mates HQ kinga from passanger seat and got batphone. Tried to (and failed) FTE trakanon while coming in to pits after chopping a V10 R8 while logging on.

Also played from the top of a sand dune in the middle of the desert in Oman west of Ibri. Only place I could get good 3G was at the top of this fucking sand dune so lugged my work laptop up and filled it with sand... doh.
Planes a few times, the singapore airlines a380's have really good net in business class, 600ms lag more than fine to play with.
Airport lounges quite commonly. Ib guys would know me well for being in some obscure fucking airport drunk as a skunk makin plays.
Played from the middle of the jungle in papua new guinea.
And a few times from side of the road. More than I can count to be honest.
Once got about 120aa's afk with laptop open while driving 500km when a mate was shaker paging me in PoV on eqmac.
An hour ago I was online from the middle of bass straight on an oil rig. 1800ms sat net FTL.

Stupid game :p


Felt like this was going to go "mid fire fight reclaiming an Iraqi city... I got bat phoned and my laptop got shot up. Don't worry I made them do naked pyramids afterwards, but that got blown out of proportion."

My wife comes from a super conservative farm family, so video gaming is "frowned upon". Needless to say - around them I'm a closet gamer. She plays games, but she also doesn't really mention that to her family.

Also, she's not an MMO / EQ fan, so that's sometimes touchy too.

Back when we were engaged and we'd visit her parents (3 hours away from home) we'd stay the night, but her parents made us sleep in separate rooms.

I used to sneak my laptop into my overnight bag, and when everyone went to bed I'd stay up in my own room and play an EQ Emu game (not p1999) until the early hours of the morning.

My room was on the way to the bathroom so I'd have to be diligent to close the laptop lid if someone walked by so they didn't see the glow through the frosted window in the door.... not that they would have really cared, I just didn't feel like explaining.
