How to Stop Playing
 

FOr real, anyone know how to quit EQ?

I tried. Came back 7 months later and as addicted as ever.

You can't ... sorry

Been playing 15 years this month ..

"You can check out anytime you like, but you can never leave".

just let it go for a bit? I just stop logging in for a while and before you know it I have no desire to play anymore.

Just fill your time doing other things.

edit: ...perhaps constructive & positive things while using logic & other safety measures to ensure a healthy enjoyable experience of doing X other things...

Confirmed, key to quitting EQ = having other stuff you enjoy doing to occupy your time. EQ = timesink. More fun andinteractive time sink than most video games, but a time sink none the less, as they all are. You accomplish NOTHING every second you play. It simulates accomplishments and fulfills a lot of psychological accomplishments your brain wants but then you log out and have none of those things... every time you log out of EQ you spawn at lvl 1 in RL.... go level up IRL and you wont' care any more.

Go commit a serious crime.
Do jail time.
???
Profit?

I've not played in a few months now, crack cocaine is a pretty decent substitute.

Few side effects but beats CR's and at least im sleeping!

Invent a machine that shoots Tobasco sauce at your face when it hears the Everquest loading music playing.

If this was p99 hot sauce - THEN it would truly help in quitting.... just sayin...
