How old do you think you'll be before you stop playing Everquest?

Yeah i shoulda told my parents "if you would have just let me play more EQ none of this would have happened". I'm sure that would have went over well lol

What do you mean, and why do you have (((the signal))) around poll?



I thought it was a decent discussion starter

Oh, I agree, it is a great discussion topic, it just runs astray of forum tradition. Polls always include a bsh/twr option. That is why Big J responded as he did. He was casting his vote. Here is an excerpt of the applicable statue:

II. Let no man, nor woman, nor combination thereof issue upon the people a poll in good faith remiss in the ways that are good and are right, having failed full and fair endorsement in negligence of proper poll construction and omission of the time-honored Bush/Towers (bush/twr) poll option.

OP is greatly overestimating the shelf life of a nostalgia server.

A lot of people don't realize they are seeing this game through rose-tinted glasses. I had fun playing here because nostalgia, not because I think EQ is an objectively good game. When the nostalgia wore off, I quit.

I get the nostalgia thing. Nothings really objectively good, but i'd say everquest is subjectively good enough to where it's effectively objectively good. It's as close to a perfect MMO as you'll ever get, which is why people become so severely addicted and on occasion lose their minds.

Anyone actually remember playing EQ that day? I remember logging on later on that night and everyone was talking about it in /ooc and such. The first time i ever really saw a RL event take over the chat in EQ.

As far as OP. Started playing EQ at 16. Had first child at 17. Got married at 23. Second child at 24. 33 now and enjoying life for most part not playing EQ anymore. I still play plenty of other video games though.Been a blob(built like a offensive lineman) since high school(6'2 and have hovered between 275-300 for the last 17 years.)

I had just gone to sleep after an EQ bender a few hours earlier. My sister came banging on my door telling me something really important on TV. I was pissed she was trying to wake me up, because she was always a drama queen. For once she was for real.

Pretty sure I played again that night.

I was sitting in the weight room at my highschool waiting for the morning announcements to finish (the weight room had a TV in it, and gym was my first period that year).

The two students on the TV suddenly went straight faced and told everyone to turn to the news. We flipped over about a minute before the second tower got hit, and everyone just stared in silence. A jewish girl in the class became hysterical immediately and was screaming and crying, idk if she knew someone who worked there or what.

After about an hour of watching the news, an announcement came over the intercom. "In light of what has happened this morning, we're allowing anyone who needs to to go home for the rest of the day." It was at that exact moment I became traumatized, made my teacher aware, and walked out of class.

I walked home in stead of waiting for the city to organize busses on such short notice, and got a group in Sol B with my shit geared DEF SK

Stopped at 29. Will never play again as EQ requires time to succeed. Just doesn't mix with me.

I WANT to log in, but its purposeless.

Same reason. 28 tho'.
