How do you justify the amount of time everquest requires? How do you play the game?

Too many hours on EQ and this can happen:-

All things in moderation...

Probably 2-3 weeks of growth behind that guy. Should probably shave today.

I struggle with this problem some...maybe I just lack self control. Sometimes I know I SHOULD be doing x, but slaughtering some orcs or undead is just more satisfying :/

I am a full time law student and never have issues. I just raid when I am free and level chars when I feel like it. It isn't so hard [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

I think there are a lot more casuals on Red - I have seen a lot of level 1-20 in the last few weeks. I have never played on Blue so it is hard for me to even understand the end goal of it. I play on Red to make alliances and take down whoever else I can. With level limits on who you can attack you are always relevant in your bracket. There is no rush to level or see new content because there are most likely always others in your range to hunt down.

PvE is also important and the more hardcore players focus on this, while the casuals try to stop them from progressing by ruining their raids.

I look for other people who play as casually as I do and try to group with them on my cleric. In the past, I'd make friends, and they'd play all day/every day while I was at work or out doing stuff after work. They blew by me in levels, and I was left sitting alone LFG all the time. Or they'd suddenly quit playing, again leaving me with nothing but people who have way more time and dedication for EQ than I do nowadays. Just as I was about to quit for good, I stopped caring about leveling, basically. Now I'm having fun again. Most of my playtime is reserved for weekends and holidays, though.
