That moment when you decided to quit EQ live

[kate79]

I can't even claim I've quit. I have stopped playing for years multiple times, only to go back. I'm loving Project 1999 but I wouldn't be surprised if I go back to live again too.

We'll it sounds like I got out while it was still good. I was still having a blast in Dec 2002 I believe it was PoP. Then I decided to go back to college and moved to TX. Turns out the ID department wouldn't open all the ports necessary for me to play (I believe at the time it used a large range of ports and would randomly pick on in that range). I tried getting it to work via proxy but I didn't have the computer know-how. So let my friend just play my mage till he got bored. Ended up getting marred and have 3 kids now. Who knows where I'd be if I didn't decided to make a life change and move which forced me to quit. Now I just play casual in the evenings when my kids are asleep.

Struggled to get through the Gates of Discord, and then Omens of War finally did it for me. I just could not connect the lore to the EQ I once knew. When EQ2 launched 2 months after OoW I was gone.

OOW added Taskmasters which offered quests, but the quest writing itself was horrible, like some intern wrote them.

Where's the option for dad catches you skipping school and you tell him your a meth addict so he doesn't know your playing eq but he takes your computer anyway?

deleted char and started human rogue. got to lvl14 and started finding gems on mobs - oh, these are for jewelcrafting eh? i'll have to make an enc mule now
enchanter was my only char until LoY; still the most fun class in any RPG i've played
quit during LoY and started playing WoW

OoW is when I quit. I was beginning high school when that expansion came out. That new final fantasy mmo came out around then and I was trying that out for a few months and eventually went to the vanilla wow. Since most of my RL friends started playing wow and I was alone in eq, I joined the band wagon (With no regrets seeing how shitty eq was becoming).

65 SK DE Raidena Nameless Server! I do regret not killing Quarm when my guild finally reached PoTime. O well.

I quit when OoW was released. I was just starting to key/attune/whatever its called for GoD, so what was the point in purchasing the OoW expansion?

Agreed with Kaev on Nexus Spires. People ask for ports from OT to South Ro all the time so they can take the Oasis boat to TD, because the Oasis boat comes 3 times as often as the OT boat.

PoK books, if they are one way out of PoK, and the only way to get to PoK is a port... Then you have to get a port in order to click a book...

I speak as a long time Druid, PoK books were a god send. I didn't have to waste my time making other people's play time more streamlined. I could play the class I liked playing without such interruptions just as basically every other class could except clerics... Poor clerics. They didn't get released from those shackles until Mercenaries.

But I would be more than happy to allow PoK books to only be one-way portals if it means PoP is put in. Removing them entirely destroys the lore of the plane. All races were united in a quest for knowledge and to understand the gods' realms and the gods themselves.
