Hey guys,

I tend to lose track of time whenever I log on and have a hard time juggling EQ with my other obligations.

Do you have any tips on how to enjoy EQ without letting it infringe on your quality of life?

What techniques do you use to limit your playtime?

Thanks!

I only can play in peace if my girlfriend is in a good mood. Me playing eq puts her in a bad mood. Pretty simple.

Set an alarm clock if you can't just look at the time on your own. Solo, and don't group, unless you have a large block of time available.

If you're using the standard Titanium UI an alarm feature pops up every time you log on. Set it for when you want to stop playing, or should at least take a break and reassess reality.

As someone who was in your shoes the first time around in 99 to 03...

Don't let the game control your life. It's not the end of the world if you don't get level 32592 or get the Uber Sword of +5 Penis Growth. In the end it doesn't matter. The priority should be "leveling up in real life". Otherwise you're going to eventually regret wasting the best years of your life in front of a computer over digital trinkets and shit that no one will care about in 2-3 years.
