Making time to play?

I always wonder why there are so many posts around here that treat girlfriends/wives so dismissively or refer to them like they're just obstacles. It makes me sad. I hope when I find someone to be with, we'll actually like each other and want to spend time together. Then again, I guess that would be a real relationship and not a side hobby for when there's downtime in P99. :P

In the context of "making time to play" relationships ARE obstacles.

I logged in for the first time in a long time this week because it's impossible to make time to really play if you also have other hobbies. EQ requires the same dedication as a part time job (or a full time job for many players).

The only real solution is to play a solo class at a safe camp that no one else wants, so you can log in at will and do something useful without impacting anyone else. I've been trying that with a mage, though it turns out that they nerfed the hell out of mages since I last played so you probably want a wizard/warrior or something. Melee/nuke mob to death, sit down and hide, go back to doing something else while regenerating.
