View Full Version : Qutting my job to play EQ full time

With the new progression server and Velious coming out soon I just can't justify working a full time job anymore, it is cutting far too deeply into my EQ playtime and my immersion levels are the lowest they have been in years. Today I am putting in my two weeks and will become a full time EQ player. So I just have some questions for the other full timers around here.

What do you tell unemployment so you still get a check when you didn't get laid off and aren't actually looking for work? I know here they want you to submit 2-4 contacts you made every month or 2 weeks, like jobs you applied to, interviews etc. Not sure if they ever actually do audits and check that stuff tho.

I obviously won't be getting laid as a full time EQ player so do you guys have any advice on what fleshlight knockoff will give me the biggest bang for my buck? (no pun intended)

Will add more questions as I think of them, thanks in advance guys!

The Game is fun, immersive, lovely, one of my favorites. I don't mind spending 8 hours playing on certain days off and playing 3-4 hours on days that I work. I however would never quit my job to play EQ full time.

This game would get stale so fast and as much as I love EQ and it's classic features, below would be a turn off as a full time player. The clashing of guilds at end game is kind of a turn off as far as serious progression is concerned. I like my serious EQ adventures, but on my terms, which are usually semi-lax.

Not everyone who plays on P99 is a millennial. Some of us have made enough to retire comfortably and allow us to play all day now.

If you made enough to retire... why spend it inside stuck in a computer chair? I'm honestly curious.

Not everyone has the same definition of retirement or enjoying themselves. Some people rather sit around the house relaxing not having to worry about anything while others like to go jump out of planes or cruise the world. Its all in the eye of the beholder cause in the end all it is is memories.

I get that. But it seems like a huge waste to work hard to retire just so you can sit around and do nothing. What happened to that urge to work hard that led you to retirement? Don't you ever think "man, as a member of society and the human race, I should try to help others with my free time. I should give back to the community in some way."? Or is the top priority every day a video game?

No offense but fuck everyone else. I'm in it for me. Only things i can do for my children is pass on the knowledge i've learned over the years. Then its up to them to deal with fucked up society we live in. I hold the door for people, i help people carry shit up their steps. I put in air conditioners for my old neighbors but you are not going to see me out building a house for Habitat for Humanity or anything.

This.

On a serious note, if you arent selfish youre going nowhere in this world. If thats cool with you, so be it. If you are ambitious, then you must be selfish for the most part; gotta look out for number one.

I at one point dropped out of high school to pwn EQ all day. Shit was legit... for like a year. Then i realized how awesome drugs and women were...for like 3 years. Then i realized that instant gratification(EQ, drugs, women, motorcycles, cars, whatever) is only cool for so long. You have to build something. I then pwnd life; ie went to one of the toughest military academies in the country and got a respectable GPA in Physics. I now travel the world working and loving life, but none the less building something as well. Your life should be more than a series of moments of rapture; it should amount to something. Create your legacy.

At least thats what i think, and i work very hard on that almost every day. Having said that, you have to enjoy life too; just in moderation. I play EQ more than a filthy casual, i enjoy reading the forums, i ride motorcycles every day, i get laid a lot(yea, im a mac), and i party with my friends when i can. All in moderation, and never as an end goal.

All that shits cool, but when you get really high and look at yourself in the mirror, and really think about who you are, are you satisfied with how you've lived your life so far, and more importantly, where your going in life?

All truth.

I started in community college(i got my GED a year after i had started), proved myself with 3.8 gpa over 2 years, got a letter of recommendation from an alumni and was accepted as a 21 year old freshman. The college is Virginia Military Institute(one of the most difficult acadmies in the world). I currently teach AP Physics in China, and yea, i get butt. I own a Buell M2 Cyclone in California(awaiting my return) and ride a 125cc pit bike here in China. I am however a 6'1" blonde model type(why i slay vagina in china), not African.

And i fucking love me some Everquest.

Is this a joke? Pwning life got you teaching in China? Expat teaching community in China is full of retarded inbred alcoholics who failed at life back at home. Slaying pussy in Asia is easy even for disgusting fat fucks (Source: Fat guy in Korea).

Here's a tip buddy, you haven't won life, you've just put off failure for another year. Once you need actual medical attention from the toxic water and pollution, you'll come back to western civilization and have a giant black hole on your resume. Enjoy being 40 and working at blockbuster.
