Sorry if I came off really mean, but this topic strikes close to home. I felt the EXACT same way when I first started P99. I wanted to be as uber as I was on live back in the early 2000s, when I was one of the top shaman on my server. I wanted to recapture that.
But that was a goal I would never achieve, not because of the game or server, but because of myself. Back when I was one of the best of the best, I was in high school in a small town that was frozen over 8 months out of the year. I had nothing else better to do than to play EQ for hours and hours a day.
10 years later, I have a job, a wife, a kid, live in a city with stuff to do and money to do it. All of that cuts into time that I had previously devoted to EQ. Now I had to ask myself, would I give up any of those for more EQ time? The answer for me was hell no.
It might be different for other people though. If I had REALLY wanted it, I could give up my job, divorce my wife, disown my son and move to the middle of nowhere again and devote all my time to being the most uber thing p99 had ever seen.
You have the same choice. It is completely up to you what you do.
