I love my job I would rather be doing it than grinding. But then the more I do
the more I make.And with a wife and 3 kids I need to make lots and lots and lots of cash!
I am in the same boat you are. When I grind for cash in game I could be grinding for cash in RL.

Omg, please don't call work "grinding for cash."

That's just blending my EQ world and my real world way too much for comfort.

Besides, these days, it's more like "grinding for health insurance". [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Oddly I don't think I've ever minded the EQ grind. If I'm solo EQ PvE is by far much more difficult that any other MMORPG and is excellant XP. If I'm grouped (I usually always play a class that is wanted for grouping) I sit and chat with everyone else in group or I hang on vent with my MMORPG guild (who are playing all sorts of games atm) and just chat with them.

I'm usually never bored at all in EQ.

I like grinding and I like my job. It's both about sitting on desk and pushing the mouse. Even EQ can be more stressful sometimes.

I enjoy my job more than grinding. However, for example from Monday night @ ~8pm est til ~4pm est Tuesday I was doing HHK Guards with the wife.. and seriously -

i felt like a piece of shit playing EQ for almost 24 hrs straight like im 12 again. At least with work i feel good and accomplished.

granted we work from home making all your money "real" :P

I wish I had the time to grind. With my job and the hours being all over the map I just can't commit to a grind in EQ. I also miss the fact that I cannot camp for the nice items that I really want.

All in all though I am just having a blast being able to play EQ again. Maybe things will be different for me in the near future and this will change.

It was easier in HS when you could skip homework and grind instead and there was that element of surprise on what it feels like to be level 50. Now when I grind I feel like I should be working or spending time with my wife. I also know what to expect, what mobs to camp and grind, what fear/hate really look like, etc. I guess some people can really get into it again, but part of me feels like I won't get that feeling like back in the day. Kind of like when you go to an 80's club, it doesnt fully feel like that club you went to in the 80's.

You mean there are people who play this game that have jobs? [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]
