Are you guys really that weak willed?
How do you survive in the real world?

Just play the game instead of other hobbies, not on top of them.

I probably have a pretty serious EQ addiction. I try not to think about it. So healthy!

My addiction started with tabletop D&D...

Hasn't ended yet.

Help.

I played Everquest heavily from 1999 - 2004, which was through my late middle-school and into highschool years. I was so obsessed it was literally what my life revolved around for a good year or two at least. It's all that my friends and I talked about, and it's all I wanted to do after school and on the weekends. I recall many days I'd wake up at 5 AM to score the best camp, and wouldn't log out till midnight at least. Breakfast, lunch, and dinner served at the computer desk, with no care in the world outside of good old Norrath. No doubt this is probably a common story around here.

Today i'm 23 years old and out of college, great career, great girlfriend, and what have I gone and done? Got myself addicted to Everquest again. I don't know what I was expecting to happen when I started, I guess I thought I could play here and there and be able to put it out of my mind. Well i'm only level 8, and already feel myself pushing other things aside to make more EQ time! Leaving the house is becoming a regrettable experience, and I'm constantly counting down the days/hours till my next session. I know better than to let it take over my life completely, but it is getting more difficult to keep it out of my mind as I get more involved!

But anyway, I am just curious about other peoples experiences with Evercrack addiction/obsession and how they manage to cope through their daily lives...

EZ fix : Nobody group with this guy. What are your character names?

I'm about to get married. What else is left other than to sit around and get fat and lazy again? [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

I have yet to start playing Everquest. but I did play wow for 4 years. That was the worst time of my life. I went to work everyday but I lost 2 girlfriends becouse of the addictive power of OMG im too low of a lvl to do anything......time to farm for hours to do anything......That kind of thing. I have been able to turn things around.....slightly.....I am looking forward to playing EQ and I am almost slightly certain that it wont well maybe take over my life.
