At 35 years old with a family, I just dont have the time to dedicate to EQ.

EQ is one of those games that rewards you exponentially the more time you dedicate in a given play period. Its not a game you can pick up for 30 mins to an hour at a time (I mean you can, but its not nearly as effective as sinking 6 hours into a session).

Its kind of like fishing - it takes time to get set up, boat in the water, park the truck, tie the lure etc etc. It just doesnt make sense to go fishing for an hour on a boat. You need to dedicate atleast half a day for it to be worth your while.

For instance, if you are playing toon that requires a group, it could easily take 30 mins to find a group, and thats if you can find a group at your particular level.

On the extreme end, players that are willing to repeatedly dedicate 10+ hours of play time in a given session will reap the highest rewards. 10 hours 1 time is far for effective than 1 hour 10 times.

So with all that said, classic EQ is not a real life friendly game. Hence games like WOW gained more purchase with casuals due to the QOL features.

No, I get it, its more responsible but it doesn't make good games. You know what it is? its the Dwayne Johnson formula. Responsible, bankable but you forget his movie 5 minutes after leaving the theater.
