I don't buy the "I'm an adult now" pitch. Every adult has personal time, and it's up to him/her how they spend it. We need a way to show them the path of the holy that is project 1999.

Give everyone a laptop and cell dongle too, so they can play at work and in the bathroom.

I think the main reason on here is that most people now, after 16 years of EQ, have moved out of their moms basement, and actually have a Real Life. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

I usually respect your posts but this is absurd. My family of 5 fits perfectly in my mothers basement

Adults don't spend hours staring at video game monster placeholders. Adults don't have people text them on their phone so they can run over to the PC, log in, and spend hours killing a monster. Adults don't play 12 hours a day.

Not 12 hours a day, but many EQ players back in 1999 were 30+ years old.

I do all those things except play 12 hours a day - also it takes minutes to kill a monster, not hours.

When staring at video game monster placeholders (tracking), we are usually shooting the shit in Vent or multitasking, stuff you'd be doing with your free time anyways.
