Longest time on EQ ever

[Arclanz]

36 hours. not at any one camp; just playing. I was low level, probably between 8 and 12. By sunup of that third day I was quite literally passing out. Never fell asleep at the keyboard tho. I don't know if I believe folks stayed up for longer than 36 hours without taking a nap here or there.

The longest camp I've done is Drezla, by far (for Jboots). Plane raids back in the day were easily 14 hour affairs.

I spent about 12-14 hours (or more... I wasn't really counting) on the Ancient Cyclops in SRO last weekend. I started late in the morning on Sunday. I sat all damn day there getting timers down and all that biz. Well, 2AM Monday morning eventually rolled around and I had to work in about 5 hours so I said "One more try". 9PM gametime came and BINGO! Got the AC and I went to bed a happy man [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Seein that stupid, one eyed, yellow hippy bastard pop up made all those hours worth it.

True, nothing can beat the thrill of finally seing that rare spawn, spawn !!

Except, possibly, the agony of realizing it didn't drop what you needed! [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

I remember a 13+ hour CR on a Plane of Fear raid gone to hell, back in the day. After that, I was with Overcast, logging off once I realized I couldn't feel the flow of blood to my ass and legs anymore.

I wonder how many pulmonary embolisms have been caused by too much EQ'ing, over the years? [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

I remember 12 hours being easy. At the end of the day, I'd kind of feel bad.. knowing I sat at the computer for the entire time. But, obviously I didn't regret it enough, because I' m back.. lol

curious b/c i want to compare it to me and kashi's duo xp -

In your 14 hr sess, what was your group size? level range? where did you fight? what class are you? what classes were in your group? and how much XP did you gain?

3 and 1/2.

4 day weekend in the military spent 72 hours of it on EQ with my office buddies who were in my guild

I have two examples.

The first involved multiple players. It was 2000 and we were working on the newly released epic quests. I needed the blue crystal staff from phinney and my friends and I, working in shifts from one residence, killed him in sequence five or six times to finally get it. It took a three day weekend. Ugh...

The second was camping stormfeather with one of the same friends (who also plays on P99). He had already put 18 hours in and was tired, so I took over and the mob spawned a few hours later. I was in the room the whole time doing my own thing on twink toons, so technically it was a stretch.

For an SMR? Really? I remember buying one during Kunark for like 1.5k.

Yeah Phinney was a bitch and no one wanted to help you because everyone hated swimming the whole time. I remember when our necro DLed on one and half the group died because they didnt have any breathing spells.
