Can’t forgive my wife, missed green launch.

[alphys]

I’ve been trying to come to terms with my feelings but I cannot forgive my wife for making me miss the launch of green entirely and then pretty much guilting me into not playin gun EQ anymore. Instead of sinking time into EQ I’m just doing equally unproductive cellphone stuff but it’s somehow less of a burden to her.

I’ve been playing on blue for years and always thinking of how much a new server would be incredible and honestly I’m beside myself and considering divorce after she pulled a power play and ruined it for me. I do not think I’m ever going to get another shot on p99 to enjoy a new server.

For time management, I literally go to work, help do all chores, spend time with the family and my wife then it was too selfish to expect 2-3 hours to just do what I felt like. Probably the worst part is my wife considers herself a heavy RPG fan but any game I have shown her she quickly loses interest unless it’s a shitty Diablo clone. More recently she ha a made the comparison of her lonely childhood to how her parents worked overtime to pay for computers instead of spending time with her. Keep in mind they are retarded boomers who think more $$$ means better pc. I built them as a hobby with used parts so always have nearly top of the line for pennies.

I also own two HTC vives but she got dizzy once and filled the VR space with random stacks of shit.

I feel so betrayed as I really expected to be playing video games together instead of watching you tube videos about farming and shit.

Considering going truly crazy and hopefully disability is enough for a one bedroom.

[Henlolizar]

I sincerely hope this is a joke. If not, the answer is: no, don't divorce your wife over video games.

[charmcitysking]

Gotta put your foot down and take some time for yourself - you're already quite resentful and it's only going to get worse.

Don't need to be a poopsocking neckbeard, but you should have some 'me' time

[cd288]

I sincerely hope this is a joke. If not, the answer is: no, don't divorce your wife over video games.

Especially don’t divorce your wife over an emulated server of a 20 year old game when it will just get merged into Blue and you’ll have to start all over from scratch anyway. Things in EQ might feel like an accomplishment, but then when you look back are you really proud of all the time it took to get to 60 and get BIS everything for example? I would hope not

[pickled_heretic]

The fact that it's EQ is mostly irrelevant. If what you say is true and you can't do you stuff for 2 hours a day, she's being a cunt.

[Croco]

sounds like it's time to find a new wife that supports you and encourages your hobbies, speaking from experience it's a wonderful thing

[Videri]

OP, it sounds like this isn't about EverQuest...it's about your relationship. You said she "pretty much guilting me into not [playing] EQ anymore" and it sounds like you also feel overworked. So you've got (1) missed Green launch and don't have time for EQ and (2) relationship is not meeting expectations.

When you have two different issues or conflicts going on at the same time and they become entangled, it becomes really hard to deal with them. It's easier to deal with one issue at a time. I think it will help if you separate your current concern into its component parts.

If you magically had an extra 2-3 hours every day to play EQ, would that solve the issue entirely? If so, maybe you can make that happen, and good luck. But if not, then you have a deeper issue with your relationship and this is not entirely about EQ.

[Videri]

It sounds like you have a list of expectations for your relationship. Are those expectations based on agreements you made with your wife, or on assumptions you made? Can you talk openly about this with her? Maybe if you tell her what you actually want, the two of you can compromise.

As for Green launch, there will be more servers later.

[douglas1999]

sounds like a real bitch

[douglas1999]

[YendorLootmonkey]

Your wife has deeply-rooted childhood feelings of abandonment by her parents both messing around with their computers instead of spending time with her.

"Mommy want to play tea party with me?"

"Sorry, honey... gotta log into the BBS and play some Trade Wars 2002!"

So the second you want time on the computer, she feels the abandonment and playing second fiddle to a computer for attention all over again. I feel like this might require some couples therapy to help her work through you playing the computer for a few hours a night is not abandoning her... it is simply a personal hobby where you get some "you time" in the marriage, and she's even welcome to join you if she wants so you are still spending time with her.

But yeah, she needs to understand that preventing you from enjoying a hobby because of baggage she has from her childhood isn't fair to you.

[Jibartik]

OP I could not play green (except launch weekened! which was the high point anyway hehe) and thustly have not yet once plyaed a character that is of a class that a darkelf cannot be, while apeparing as a dark elf. And let me tell you this. After 21 years of wanting to do that? IM actually not gonna lie that I still want to do it as badlyl as I did in 99.

So in a way im glad I was forced to not be able to play through that portion of green and still have that dragon to chase.

So in the end life is how you look at it, because if i looked at it how I really felt I'd say all of that was a load of absolute horseshiit and that having a lustrous covered darkelf shaman with a red BP would be way better than this sniffing my own farts nonsense about still dreaming of all that! FILE THE PAPERS!

[/spoiler]hehe jk on that last bit :o[/spoiler]

[kaizersoze]

Maybe you should stop playing EQ for awhile and spend some time with your wife. A manastone / guise / locket of escape / other generic trash to be slightly better at 20 year old EQ is not worth your marriage, and if it is, you have bigger issues to work on together.

[charmcitysking]

Great point, Shoveler.

Do girlfriends/wives and video games ever mix?

Not with me. She calls my EQ time 'nerd chores'.

[Blingy]

Great point, Shoveler.

Do girlfriends/wives and video games ever mix?

I started playing in Sept 2000. Met my wife in April 2001. She started her account around October 2001. We played together through the end of The Buried Sea when she sorta retired.

I took a break from EQ for around a year then started on P99/blue right before Velious was released. My wife started back on the Daybroken servers when green99 came out. She's happily playing on the Bristlebane server while I'm doing my thing on green.

So yes, they can mix but we're a weird exception and definitely not the norm.

[Baler]

Sounds like grounds for divorce. Emotion Distress on your behalf, you don't have to give her half for the mental abuse.

[Jibartik]

Great point, Shoveler.

Elhefe (https://www.twitch.tv/videos/730367679) proves that they do!

[Kennie]

Sounds like she needs a hobby and/or some friends. Just talk it out with her.

My wife isn't into gaming, but she's hot and is genuinely happy for me when I accomplish my goals, whether they are in life or in EQ.

It's not about the game, but you may need work on the fundamentals of your relationship. Supporting each others wants and needs is important to a healthy marriage as long as those wants and needs do not hurt anyone. Wish you luck.

[Luigi]

its not about video games, its about how he has no control over his life, if it wasnt eq it would be a hunting trip or time in his mancave

you hung up your nuts when you put a ring on a pigs finger and you are probably too much of a pussy to get out, god i hope i am never in the same boat as one of these getting fat 40 somethings with zero sex or fun in their lives.

[Topgunben]

Dont come to elf sim forum for marriage advice. With that said, let me give you some advice:

Women arent meant to be the boss. No matter how much they think they need to be the boss, they will always end up feeling less secure if they get to tell you what to do. Mothers tell their boys what to do, but one sign of a boy growing up to be a man is when he stops doing everything his mom tells him to do and goes out on his own and does his own thing. That doesnt mean you shouldnt listen or take their advice, but always remember that you are the boss, not her.

That doesnt mean your wife isnt right about some things. Maybe you have got to change some behaviors to placate her (you may never be able to fully satisfy her). BTW, nearly all women are crazy and neurotic. I seemed to have lucked out in the sense that my wife is about as easy going and understanding as any, but both of my sisters and mom are pure batshit crazy.

Sex is more important than you could imagine in marriage. It's the canary in the coal mine so-to-speak. If you are looking at porn you should stop. If she doesnt want to have sex, thats a huge problem that needs to be addressed immediately. If she has gained 2x her bodyweight since you were married, that is a major issue and she needs to lose the weight. If you would rather spend time on P99 then rolling around naked with her, you need to ask yourself why.

If you have kids, strongly consider not getting a divorce. Your life can turn into a living hell very quickly.

[Jimjam]

My cousin passed away last year and his divorced wife gave one of the speeches at his funeral.

You can never truly divorce a woman who is mother to children with whom you have a paternal relationship.

If you love someone be there for them. No matter what.

I appreciate all the feedback. She is a great person, beautiful, in shape, intelligent, a fantastic Mother, and she always is helpful and supportive of every other hobby I’ve had. She also is very sexual and kinky, our sex life is very healthy and even after being together for nearly 13 years we still tease each other and it’s great.

It’s just so difficult because she knew what this meant to me, I’ve been taking about it f or years and it’s wasn’t about max level, just that I wanted the real experience again like in 1999.

I would never consider leaving her but I’m having such a hard time coming to terms with this.

[Videri]

She sounds like she's worth the sacrifice of Green launch, tbh. It was cool, but also annoying in that every camp was taken and every group was full 24/7. And while it was very classic in some regards, it was super unclassic in other ways. Plus, with Kunark coming out soon, now is a fine time to play some P99. And like I said, there will be more fresh P99 servers in the future.

Maybe next time something like this happens, you can make an agreement with wifey.

[Jibartik]

heh pretty much all wives are worth the sacrafice of green launch :p

Well, hold up there. It sounds like you aren't understanding what it meant to her that both of her parents spent very little quality time with her during her childhood because they were too busy with their computers. Those are years she is never going to get back. She has chosen to spend the rest of her years with you.

So, if you can't get that baggage addressed, then any computer time you have to yourself, she is going to go down that emotional rabbit hole and you are going to make her re-live it. Not purposely, mind you... but the parallels will be inevitable. If you leave her or divorce her over it, then once again the most important person in her life chose a computer over her, so that really isn't an option unless you truly do not care about her emotional well-being.

From everything else you have said, sounds like you need to give up on a dumb elf sim and enjoy those precious moments with her and your children. The years go by fast, man. To be honest, and we all know this is true no matter how much it hurts to admit, she has done you a favor by keeping you out of this time-sink.

Consider yourself lucky, and pray for the rest of us that we all get the help we need. :)

EQ honestly isn’t a once in while game. It consumes you and leads to neglecting other things. I feel that in the moment, yes you want eq but later in life you will be happy you didn’t say fuck everything else so you can play green. It’s honestly never as fun as it was when we were all younger playing at our parents. We keep chasing that high but it’s just not the same.

This. I've been through this shit before, and it ended in divorce. You deserve to be happy. It isn't selfish to want a couple of hours to yourself on a regular basis to do anything you want (play EQ, ride a bike, whatever). This isn't about EQ, it's about you being your own person and not needing approval from someone else to enjoy a hobby. If they have a problem with that it's on them for overstepping their boundaries, not you. You are your own person and you deserve to be happy, always remember that in relationships.

I have 2 kids under 3 and still find time to play this dumb game in the evenings without wrecking my relationship. Who cares what you do on your own time?

Also, Classic is gay you didn't miss anything.

What Yendor said.

-------------

As a bandaid, you can try playing P1999 on a tablet. I'm not 100% sure it's possible, but I heard a rumor. Might keep her from feeling triggered.

As a second bandaid - you can try to get her to play again. But this time sell it as a social activity. Get in discord with a few guild pals and form an alt group, with people talking/chilling over headsets chatting about random stuff. Then it's not a her-you thing, it's a beat-social-isolation by making pals and playing together as a large group thing. That makes it different than Diablo in a better way.

If that doesn't work - you could possibly try to set a routine/schedule of together time so everyone has expectations on even keel. If she knows you'll be hanging out in the evening with her on Mon/Wed/Friday night to watch Netflix/Diablo, and you'll be having some recharge time on Tue/Thur/Sat.. she's more likely to schedule a zoom call with a friend on Tue/Thur/Sat, and not feel lonely or that you "chose" a game over her. There won't be any choosing because it's a routine you both talked about and agreed to.

Good luck!

If you have children, DON'T put them thru a divorce. My parents did and it screwed up my siblings and me. I would never do that to children.
If you decide to split the sheets, you need to let everyone who came to your wedding ceremony know. You did after all promise before them that you would stick together. Be sure to tell them it's over a 20 year old video game. I'm sure they will understand.

Imo she's doing good by you. It sounds like she's saving you from slipping back into your old, addictive and degenerate ways. Saving you from using all your sick time from work and joining Seal Team... packing on 15 lbs while she's taking care of your kids... watching you eat dinner in front of your computer monitor while you become more irritable and reclusive by the day. Your skin begins to find new shades of white. Tensions rise when you start lying to her that you're at work when you're actually home or in a parking lot on a fast food wifi depleting your joint checking account in order to get the new, bestest item... just to look cool while trading manastones for nudes to people who may or may not identify as female.

Thank her man, for keeping you in check. Because it sounds like you don't have what it take to do it on your own.

[Zipity]

My wife HATES EQ but still let’s me play enough to get my fix and yells at me when I play way too much or at bad times, and has given me head while killing a dragon before. You need to find a better wife. Make sure you find the better wife before dumping the old one.

This game is sweet, but can be soul-sucking at times. Know your life schedule and keep shit in balance. Have a toon that you can afk or log out of on the fly, or play on another emu server that is more casual-friendly if you have a girlfriend or family obligations.

As with all things, moderation is key. Pixels aren't worth a divorce and/or a lifetime of loneliness. Just stay on top of yourself and set personal limits.

Before you make any rash decisions remember that:
- Kunark release will signify the poopsock reaching 1/3 capacity, you still have kunark and velious
- Hot pockets don't microwave themselves

[Foxplay]

I don't get it... just roll an Iksar when Kunark releases and your pretty much on even ground to all the monks or other players that will re-roll for Iksar

Yea they will xfer there gear and plat, but the vast majority of classic gear with a few exceptions like Cloak of flames is quickly replaced by Kunark era gear

The majority of the grind is 50 - 60 anyway

I feel ya!
Many women are the same way ... sit on their tablet looking at makeup vids or whatever and look up for a minute to see you enjoying a game and get upset that you are not spending time with them... Binder Dundat.

It's total nonsensical of them and just mean.. what's the difference between watching mind numbing shows on tv or playing a game after the work day/chores are finished? not to mention you can play EQ while you watch said tv shows and multitask!

This being said maybe you married the wrong woman. I was engaged to a woman who pulled a 180 on me like that, was miserable most of the time .. glad we split before we got married and had kids. dodged a bullet there.

I'm now engaged to a much better woman who compliments me and is my best friend, I even taught her how to play eq and she plays with me whenever we feel like playing. We've played on both on TLP and here on p99 now and have a blast together.

It's not all about eq of course... it's about respecting you and allowing you to do what you want especially when it's only a few hours AFTER working a hard day and finishing chores around the house. You've heard of "controlling" people in relationships im sure and that's what your wife is, hopefully you didn't know she was that way before you married her!

I actually read some of the this before. Neat. Good luck. Maybe fill your tool bow back up.

Gonna go ahead and say that turning to the single-most toxic playerbase of poopsocking neckbeards, trapped in a snow globe of pixels that may as well have been gotten in the Bronze Age, is more indicative of what your wife fears. She knows you’re a smarmy disloyal piece of horse shit that has no qualms allowing degenerate incels to mock her name on a forum, and she knows you’d do nothing to protect her in a real emergency. She just doesn’t want you to join your brothers and s(h)isters in Norrath.

Maybe that’s it?

[Nagoya]

just that I wanted the real experience again like in 1999.

green didn't provide that, so you didn't miss that.
dunno if that helps.
but the real 99 experience was in 1999.
you're never getting your hair back.
your kids are never going back inside your balls.
green launch was super 2019.
also, another "green" server is probably gonna pop in like 2-5 years?
so you can enjoy that one maybe.
good day good luck.

[Henlolizar]

Real life, real people, and especially family trumps video games every time. Get your priorities straight.

[Asteria]

I’ve been playing on blue for years and always thinking of how much a new server would be incredible and honestly I’m beside myself and considering divorce after she pulled a power play and ruined it for me. I don not think I’m ever going to get another shot on p99 to enjoy a new server.

JUST DO IT!!! :cool:

In all seriousness if this somehow isn't a hilarious troll, this guy might need alot more help/change in his life tham he will find here on P99Chan

[Asteria]

Dont come to elf sim forum for marriage advice. With that said, let me give you some advice:

Women arent meant to be the boss. No matter how much they think they need to be the boss, they will always end up feeling less secure if they get to tell you what to do. Mothers tell their boys what to do, but one sign of a boy growing up to be a man is when he stops doing everything his mom tells him to do and goes out on his own and does his own thing. That doesnt mean you shouldnt listen or take their advice, but always remember that you are the boss, not her.

That doesnt mean your wife isnt right about some things. Maybe you have got to change some behaviors to placate her (you may never be able to fully satisfy her). BTW, nearly all women are crazy and neurotic. I seemed to have lucked out in the sense that my wife is about as easy going and understanding as any, but both of my sisters and mom are pure batshit crazy.

Sex is more important than you could imagine in marriage. It's the canary in the coal mine so-to-speak. If you are looking at porn you should stop. If she doesnt want to have sex, thats a huge problem that needs to be addressed immediately. If she has gained 2x her bodyweight since you were married, that is a major issue and she needs to lose the weight. If you would rather spend time on P99 then rolling around naked with her, you need to ask yourself why.

If you have kids, strongly consider not getting a divorce. Your life can turn into a living hell very quickly.

This is really solid advice. :cool: However i think more and more western men are getting to be too neurotic too which can also be a big problem, or maybe it already is? Is it a side effect of technology making all our lives easier and requiring less hard work and exercise for basic survival and recreation?

[k9quaint]

OP needed to have a coffee can buried in his backyard.
In this coffee can needed to be enough cash to send the wife and her friends on a trip to Cabo for a week.
It is never too late to bury this can.

[aaezil]

You will never be as good as the best guild on the server freedumb unless you ditch your wife. Try calling up your mom and seeing if you can squat in her basement and maybe pickup a pizza delivery job to make ends meet then you can really dominate p99

[Fammaden]

That's real salty to rage over Freedom on this old thread about a dude who wanted to play green server.

[Old_PVP]

Take a moment and look back on your EQ characters from live servers (if you had any).

Do those characters mean anything to you now? I'm betting the answer is no. I played EQ live, I spent literally thousands of hours building my characters, and they mean shit to me now. Your green characters will eventually mean absolutely shit to you as well. I'm not saying you shouldn't play...but set limits for yourself. You don't have to be server first or BiS...just remember, your elf pixels will mean nothing. Don't neglect your wife, but don't put your hobbies on the back-burner either, find a happy medium. Eventually she will come around and learn to accept your hobby...if it's done in moderation.

[Zoolander]

get a wife through p99, win win

[Invalid_Bard]

What did you really miss lmao?? Clustered zones filled with autistic cats gathered around the burning dumpsters? It is EQ so stopped being a bleached anus and be with your family moron.

Hahahha 10 of you sucking detoxx wang so hard you all come here to dogpile. I cant express how happy this makes me :)

Welcome

[Nexii]

Lol can't tell if troll. But if not, get out of that relationship. Anyone who won't give you 2-3 hours a day to yourself isn't good to be around. Even in my most submissive male fantasies they have more of a life than that.
