The *entire* point of the original vision for EQ was that it can be played however you want to play it. You can enjoy playing casually with friends a few hours a week, being a roleplayer and exploring all of the quests and nooks and crannies of Norrath, raiding the hardest content in the game, or anything in between.

I am a CPA for a large investment bank, where I work 50ish hours a week (when things are slow). I have a family which anyone in my guild will tell you I put before the game - you will never see me online on a weekday before 8:30 PM when i've had dinner with them and put my son to bed.

Whatever mold you have in your mind that hardcore raiders must fit in to, I assure you, I do not fit that mold. In fact, most people in these guilds probably don't. EQ takes a lot less time than you think it does if you are doing it in a focused manner with specific objectives.

What drew me to P1999 was the allure of reliving my great high school and college memories of raiding these gods and dragons the first time around. I am having a blast doing it. To me, that is one of the things I do for fun. I have no idea what drew you (or some of the other people who choose to play the game with different objectives than myself) here, but I don't see how our choices impact you at all or why you are so worked up over them.

You are in your 20's married and playing EQ at night? You should be banging your wife before somebody else does.

You dont understand what happened here. The players where not logged in when the mob poped. They where doing other things IE RL (maybe). They were advised a mob had poped via social media and logged in for 30 min. The mob was killed they logged back out. saying they played "24/7" is the exact opposite to what happened. I cant even load my clubs, drive to the range hit a bucket of balls in 30 min.

Now i am not trying to defend IB in anyway,nor am i mad (bro) i just think some people posting here are clueless and do not know how to manage time.

The explain this to me. How can they be doing other things in rl and have the ability to log on within 30 secs of getting a tweet? Even if the tweet was received by phone, how could they log on so fast unless they were waiting by their computer? I doubt they were out getting an oil change, or grocery shopping, or hitting golf balls, or working, or taking their kids to school, or anything that involved being more than 4 feet from their computer at the time of the tweet. This is what is confusing to me.

1. Because people are using hyperbole when they say 30 seconds.
2. Off the top of my head: College students, IT professionals, the self employed, and stay at home parents are within a few minutes of their primary computer for a majority of the day, regardless of whether they are playing or not.

If people are not around thier PC's, they don't login.... its as simple as that.
Why do you think DA doesn't close recruitment? We have lots of people from all over the world in different time zones, so no matter how many people are out doing RL stuff or sleeping, there is still enough players that will login to kill said dragon.

Some people may be total dorks with nothing else to do, and some people are not. Quit acting all high and mighty like you are this real life mega pimp. If you were so f*cking cool you wouldn't be here.

It is my understanding this was very early in the morning. The OP's post was made at 6am. Thus for most people there is minimal RL going on at that time of day. (i guess they woke up early to kill a dragon) The 30 second claim was made by the OP who appears to be a moron and a liar so i would not trust it at all.

Does that help ?

I love statements like "Quit acting all high and mighty like you are this real life mega pimp. If you were so f*cking cool you wouldn't be here". Still not sure how that statement reflects anything...its not like we are all 16 year olds lol.

Obviously I hit a nerve...lol. Really, it is o.k. Don't cry. I was just asking a question. You don't have to be so defensive about your gaming habits. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

I'm just letting you know how it is since you are clueless and quick to judge.

Just to save you a couple minutes of confusion. This is boggwin's idea of trolling. He thinks if he makes himself sound stupid, and then gets corrected, that the joke is somehow on you. He also likes to insinuate that you are angry in every post, and that he is "pushing your buttons" when in reality most people that reply are just correcting his ignorance with indifference.
