Don't let the game control your life. It's not the end of the world if you don't get level 32592 or get the Uber Sword of +5 Penis Growth. In the end it doesn't matter. The priority should be "leveling up in real life". Otherwise you're going to eventually regret wasting the best years of your life in front of a computer over digital trinkets and shit that no one will care about in 2-3 years.

The best way is to just put everything else first. Play EQ when there is nothing left to do.

I work 10.5 hour days. After work I hit the gym. I get home about an hour and half before my girl does so I log on EQ. When she gets home I go afk and greet her and kiss her and ask her about her day and all that shit that women care about then I go back to EQ for a bit. I log off or go AFK if possible and cook dinner for her. I play another hour or two after dinner and then I log off for the night and we usually get about 1-3 hours of "quality time" usually in front of the TV enjoying one of her shitty fucking girl shows.

On my days off it's even easier. I usually clean the house and take care of chores/errands as fast as possible that way you are not neglecting your responsibilities and you’re a good boyfriend/husband cause you're pitching in around the house. I play EQ if there is NOTHING else to do.

I one main rule is I only play if EQ as a lack of a better option. I never put off going out with my girl or friends to play EQ. I never put off obligations or other important things just to play EQ.

Even will all that I still find quite a bit of time to play and have several 46+ characters with decent gear so it isn't as difficult as it seems.

Good luck!

didn't read.

On another note; EQ (especially on an emulated server) should take priority over all your other matters. Especially family, as wives are a waste of time and are only for men who cling to the first woman to have sex with them.

Ways to adapt:
-Get blown WHILE playing EQ
-Don't have friends
-Girlfriends are optional. If she doesn't play EQ; on on to the next.
-Sex is great, but fleshlights really make up for not having a girl around. GET ONE
-Play no other games.
-Only play rangers as they level up fastest.

Hope this helps!

I wound up uninstalling. Pretty bummed because I love this game. I just can't strike a balance between EQ and a happy, balanced life. Maybe I'll reinstall when I get some downtime after I finish the feature documentary I'm directing. Thanks for the advice!

This is totally wrong. I still have an Uber Sword of +5 Penis Growth, prenerf from classic. My life has improved dramatically.

However, people might begin to care about those trinkets again after 10 years, so be sure to keep them around!
