if you have at least one level 60, then i'm sorry, EQ is not a hobby - you have an addiction, and it's besides the fact that it's 2016 and you're playing an elf sim from the 90's...think about it. you have a psychological problem; we all do. subconsciously, you are vicariously chasing that feeling of a responsibility free lifestyle that you had in your teens where you can indulge without catastrophic consequence. if your life isn't already ruined from your adolescent years, you probably are working in the real world and maybe have a kid or two. as you progress in the game from your 'harmless hobby', you slowly lose a grip of reality...all of a sudden, you're level 60 with decent gear and you lose a sense of how many real hours you put into this game. of course, this doesn't apply to everyone, but it does to at least 80% of the people on this server via pareto principle (in reality probably 90%).

I see you have one 60 account + several mid level alts..do me a favor and type /play in game then add em all up. let's not forget to add up forum hours too. if you still think EQ is a harmless hobby, then you are obviously still in denial. unless she's a real gamer too, if your wife doesn't get mad, then your relationship has already been dead. she probably already has sent her post secret note similar to this poor lad which will show up in the 2017 edition.

A+

My wife saw me on EQ; walked over said, "What is this?"

I immediately just slash 'q'.
if you're smart, then next time you'll /q before it even gets to "what is this?" [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]
