What’s the craziest thing you’ve done because of EQ?

I actually cried IRL and I remember looking over and seeing my face in the closet mirror and thinking how pathetic I was that I am crying over a video game. So yea, crying over this game is the craziest thing I've ever done in the name of Norrath.

MMO’s have a way of getting in your head unlike any other game. I mean you have to think of all the people you interacted with in your guild on a regular basis, and instantaneously you lose all those possible friends and folks you’ve grouped with. Depends on how immersed you are in the game, but I remember I used to play Elder Scrolls Online pretty devoutly years ago and was in a guild with quite a few folks I talked to and interacted with daily. I never got booted, but when I stopped playing I remember a feeling of loss since I’d suddenly been divested of all these folks that I knew fairly well.

It’s all basically a more immersive form of social media. I know plenty of people who would probably have the exact same reaction if someone removed them from Facebook suddenly.
