Have you lost someone because of EQ?

[fuji]

Either in live or in p1999? I have been pretty good at managing my time in p1999, but live was a different story.

I dropped out of HS, lost my gf and gained 20lbs in the process.


Wondering if anyone else here has a similar experience?

You sir are honest.

Nope I never lost anyone due to MMO's. Just my blatant lack of interest in the relationship after 5 years is my only claim to fame for that type of "loss"

Well, to be honest, I graduated high school, then college, then got married, then gained 20lbs...i guess i would say...I lost myself but at the same time...gained 20lbs more?

ages 12-18 my M-F schedule was something like :

EQ til 4 am,
sleep,
School @ 7,
Baseball Practice til 4,
Homework til 6,
repeat.

Thankfully I quit due to boredom (not due to RL at all) before college in 2004.

My first child starved in his crib before his first birthday, but I did get a manastone out of it.

Not in EQ - but I've been gaming much longer.

Wife actually talked me into EQ - guess I was lucky, I got her interested in gaming prior to EQ, she was an avid Quake player.

But prior to that - my time on video games and not paying the attention I should have brought me very close to that edge...

We communicated well and worked it all out... Then not much later, she started playing Quake and it was much more 'eye to eye'.

Now though - with 2 teenagers, a house to deal with, a more demanding job, and similar - I just don't have the time to game as much, lol.

Didn't lose anything what was worth to maintain, but EQ changed my life, up to the point that I took a new profession which allows me hang out whole day on the internet.
