I noticed a lot of military folk enjoy EQ...why is that?

I am an active duty person in the military and I can give you a couple of good reasons.

1. Big open spaces- as opposed to where I currently live out of a 2.5ftx6ftx2ft box where I sleep and all of my shit is kept, and I can only go at most ~500 ft in one direction and ~100 ft in another (soon to change because I am about to come back from deployment YAY!). EQ on the other hand is a vast world that has a sandbox element to it where you can explore just about anywhere, and have the freedom to do just about anything, something which no other game really offers at such a massive scale.

2.In the military you are not given many personal freedoms, at all you are told what to wear, your appearance is dictated 100%, only allowed to eat at certain times and only what they offer. In EQ I can make a shaggedy assed halfling and run around buck naked, drunk, beating fire beetles with a stick to my hearts content and no one can tell me otherwise.

But that is just my two cents.

haha I like that second cent.. its very endearing [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.] what classic eq is all about! runnin around killin beetles!
