I thought the point of EQ was to have fun and be immersed in a world of fantasy. I did not realize it was a "job"...haha. I mean, if you are able to sit in front of a computer day and night, then you could work at a call center or as a data entry person. Thanks for serving your country, but I find it hard to believe that you are so disabled that you cannot do anything...obviously you can play on your computer all day. : )

The *entire* point of the original vision for EQ was that it can be played however you want to play it. You can enjoy playing casually with friends a few hours a week, being a roleplayer and exploring all of the quests and nooks and crannies of Norrath, raiding the hardest content in the game, or anything in between.

I am a CPA for a large investment bank, where I work 50ish hours a week (when things are slow). I have a family which anyone in my guild will tell you I put before the game - you will never see me online on a weekday before 8:30 PM when i've had dinner with them and put my son to bed.

Whatever mold you have in your mind that hardcore raiders must fit in to, I assure you, I do not fit that mold. In fact, most people in these guilds probably don't. EQ takes a lot less time than you think it does if you are doing it in a focused manner with specific objectives.

What drew me to P1999 was the allure of reliving my great high school and college memories of raiding these gods and dragons the first time around. I am having a blast doing it. To me, that is one of the things I do for fun. I have no idea what drew you (or some of the other people who choose to play the game with different objectives than myself) here, but I don't see how our choices impact you at all or why you are so worked up over them.
