No, can't say I've ever lost anyone due to EQ or anything else 'internet related.' Started EQ when I was 15, went to college at 17, and graduated a few years later. EQ was never a problem and I even raided nearly every night during the period I played. I just set some basic rules: Real Life first, gaming second.
I've heard some pretty ****** up stories about losing wives, children, homes, money, careers, etc. I wanted to avoid that. It's just a game, but I understand how alluring it is to slip into an simulated reality where all our real life difficulties evaporate and you can be whoever you want to be.
