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.

Nymphetamine is a fucking tool. He accused me (a Bard) of training him in Uguk, and of even having a FRAPS video proving this, even though Bards have to zone out or die to train people (neither of which I did at the time of this occurrence). Funnily enough no GM has contacted me about this supposed "training" so I guess Nymphetamine was a liar all along.

I am not worked up at all. I can't even raid yet since I am only lvl 25...lol. I know, I am one of those stupid moronic dumbasses that is only lvl 25 and not 50, but I do what I can. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

My earlier point was to get some of the uber guildies worked up about being total douchbags in rl for spending 24/7 online playing a game...it seems to have worked, as many are trying to defend how they are so NOT LIKE that (like I will ever believe that)...haha.

You are in your 20's married and playing EQ at night? You should be banging your wife before somebody else does.
