EQ vs WoW

Cataclysm was alright overall, they tried too hard at the start of the expansion making CC a necessary thing again and it just didnt work like it did with TBC. Pandaria, despite introducing the playable Pandas was a fantastic expansion all the way around, great pve and raids and the pvp was very balanced and some of the funnest I had since early Wrath. Plus it had Timeless Isle which on a pvp server was LOADS of fucking fun.

I started WoW at the beginning of WotLK. I only played the game for a year or two. It was fun but never quite scratched that itch like Everquest and Dark Age of Camelot did. I didn't like how Cataclysm changed the world and by then I was growing bored with the game anyway.

From there I moved on to Rift, stuck with that for a while, then on to Elder Scrolls Online and eventually uninstalled that too. Both those games IMO became bloated with DLC and expansions and began to focus too much on cash shop.

Classic Everquest is the only MMORPG that keeps me coming back, even if it's years between that itch. I've played a classic DAOC emulated server too but at the time it was still incomplete and nowhere near as popular as P99. I should fire that up too and see if they ever completed the Bonedancer class.

Wasn't as excited as you'd think. It was great to get but I didn't know how rare it was at the time, and I used flying mounts anyway. I was much more excited for the Time-Lost Proto-Drake.

Luckily now I don't care about videogame pixels anymore, to that extent anyway. They're meaningless, and those two mounts are my case-in-point.

Was the time lost proto drake as rare or something? I think I had quit before then

Yea, same. I don’t play any video games currently, P99 was my last

WoW was a fun time for me online but kind of a dark time IRL. I was sacrificing real life socialization for in-game notoriety, and also gaining tons of weight, especially during the r14 grind

For me I was able to transfer the video game addiction to fitness, and former gamers actually seem to do pretty well in that area due to their competitive nature and willingness to research strats and micro-manage many different RL health variables like they did with their characters

Time Lost Proto Drake to this day is still a rare and hard mount to get. People on Low pop servers might be more lucky. But theres always people ready to pop in the second it seems its about to spawn.

Teako?

Hey no hard feelings buddy. I’m still willing to send you $20 as a little going away present for your credibility, just let me know what app handle to send it to, I’ll screenshot proof. You might be able to get 2 bus passes for it

Sorry Psi lifecoach, couldn’t help myself

Mostly just having fun, maybe a little rubbing it in

But I’ll stop now. That is unless Teako wants to come in at some future point talking shit again, then I’ll be…

Was a dark time for me too, but depression mostly in my case. Was not easy to break out of that cycle of being depressed - playing games to allievate it and escape reality - becoming more depressed - playing games for longer to alleviate it. Was like drugs in a way.

Don't know what made me snap out of it but I literally did just that. One morning I woke up and decided out of nowhere to go finish my degree, I socialized and made friends again, and a few years later a successful career, a Cadillac, loving girlfriend, and games are now just a fun hobby in my spare time.

I even looked back on my post history here on these forums and was alarmed and ashamed at what I saw lol. That's not me, that's the old me. He's long gone.

Oh I’ll address the embarrassing and cringe parts here

I have to disagree. But I’ll explain why. Granted, it is indeed a hassle to accept money from me, download the game, log in, screenshot, and upload proof of one’s claims. The entire process could take 15-20 mins

However

By coming back into the thread Teako demonstrated 2 things: 1. A desire to insult me (no judgement there I’ve had quite a lot of fun insulting him) and 2. A desire to save face after accusations by me by reminding myself and everybody reading that he does indeed have what he claims to have

Now what would be the ultimate both insult and face saving move? To present proof and shove it in my face

So when we consider the angle of “I’m too cool to have to show proof of my claims” and/or “you’re not worth it” angle he’s trying to lean into, it just doesn’t hold as much water considering he’s already demonstrated a desire to insult me and save face already

In retrospect, if he would have stayed gone and not come back in an attempt to save face, that would have been a better move. Or really, don’t lie about yourself on the internet to sound cool. That should be the real takeaway. Because someone is eventually going to call you on your bs, and then it’s really handy to have some way to prove it
