So yes. I play sober.

How do you do it? I would poke my eye out before killing the 5th frogluk in a row.

I might be the only one, but for the life of me I cannot play EQ sober. I have to do my thing every hour or the game just seems too boring for me. It doesnt affect my game play that much either, so don't worry if you need to group up with me lol.

I could play a cleric completely effed up (heck you almost have to, it's boring as sin).. but man.. i need fully function on the necro at all times.

Anyone else drink for one toon but keep it real for the other? heh

Wow, we have some serious alcoholics up in this bitch.

Drinking and playing eq (like sitting at a desk by myself drunk) makes me feel super pathetic and very much an alcoholic... so I don't do it too much, haha.. tipsy once or twice a week though!

I play sober now. I used to be a pothead during the glory days of EQ (99 - 05). I did some stupid things while playing high, such as selling an uber weapon (can't remember the name of course) to a vendor NPC accidentally, etc.

Glad to be playing clean and sober, this time I might remember something....

I never forget my towel when I play EQ.

I've always played sober. Back in the day and now. Drinking alone while sitting on my ass at home playing a video game seemed kind of pathetic. It was bad enough I used to play the game 12 hours a day. It just annoyed me to be under the influence and playing this stupid game, my mind would wander and I wanted real living breathing people who were actually there so I could annoy them.

For the same reason I never understood LAN parties with drinking involved. I can do one or the other. I would either end up getting shitfaced and ignore my machine for the rest of the evening, or hold back from drinking and focus on playing the games instead. Can't have both, I've got a one track mind.

That could be a thread in and of itself. How do all you Clerics do it? Sure you're perhaps the most valuable group member in the game, but you get zero interesting things to do other than heals, hp buffs and rezzes. You pretty much could have one button on your hot bar for 99% of your existence.

It's all about root, gate, two DAs, stun, heals, buffs... i always have a full hotkey bar.

Honestly, in 99% of the encounters in classic, there's 0 excuse for dying as a cleric [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]. That's part of the appeal. Only necros and monks survive more trains.
