I used to play EQ from the first week of release until 2004. Then I forced myself to quit, because my real life was gone. This "Evercrack" addiction thing is true, very true. Part of it was that guilds relied on attendance. You had to be online or you got kicked. Nowadays I play WoW on a freeshard where I can log in and out whenever I want. Too scared to come back to EQ. If you want to make the transition back to living a somewhat a normal life, play MMOs with instancing like WoW where you can join PuG-raids whenever you want, not when you have to. Regaining control over your own playtime is key.
