We hear plenty about WoW, but is anyone still playing EQ? I hadn't played since 2003, but this summer I started playing again because of the launch of the progression servers on the Sleeper server. I got to 50 in a little more than 2 weeks, then I didn't have a raiding guild so I was bored for week 3, and then in week 4 I had to move IRL, which was a complete disaster, so I didn't get playing again until about 2 weeks into Kunark. I got to level 55 in another week, did a little raiding, then completely lost my motivation to grind levels and haven't played since. It was fun while it lasted though. In the perfect world where I inherit a billion dollars and don't ever have to do real work, I might start playing again just as a way of wasting time until I die, but in the real world where that isn't going to happen and my life is a trainwreck in slow motion, I still feel very unmotivated to play. Thoughts? Opinions? Any other experiences with progression servers?
