Oh, we can dream can't we. :rolleyes: Probably wife divorced him and he is Tiggles now. :eek: Doing silly Live Feeds. :o

EQ is tough, at least relative to other mmorpg's. if you play WoW or EQ2 you can easily solo to end game in probably a few weeks if you really obsess over it. I'm told that it's possible in EQ as well for certain classes (though i've never been able to do it), but the game is more about grouping and knowing where to go than just being able to burn through levels with ease. That's why so many of us continue to play this game that lacks the graphics and updated engines of other mmorpgs. If you have yet to hit 11 and your mental health is being called into question, maybe you should stick to a game that won't inspire cursing fits on the reg.

burst out laughing, fucking hilarious

Even if the OP isn't around, the issue of rage quitting or giving up on EQ is a problem that will never go away. My first MMO was EQ in late 1999 and I played it for years. After many expansions that made the game too clunky for my tastes I played City of Heroes, EQ2, WoW, DCUonline, Aion, PotBS and others and I was able to enjoy all of them (never as much as I enjoyed EQ but what can you expect.) The trick is knowing how the games differ and playing to those differences. You can't solo through EQ to Max level in a couple of weeks like you can with some games...and if you do you're kind of missing the point. If you can't enjoy sitting around chatting, making deals in EC, leveling your trade skill while medding between kills, and spending lots of time traveling and exploring then EQ might not be your game. Most games nowadays are built to feed you levels and achievements at a set pace to keep you feeling good. I can log for hours and not even kill anything and feel good because I just like the nostalgia of being in Norrath.
