Man I'm hooked on EQ its killing my life

How long have you been playing? I was hooked for about a month, but then I came down hard and have HATED the game ever since... I still have nightmares about camping spawns... ughhhhhhghhhh

yea im hooked and its to crazy my hates me

I played for 3 years. Talk about hooked I spent several 20 hour sessions on EQ. I finally cancelled my account about 2 months ago because I was getting bored. On certain nights however when I think back on the fun times i had I have the urge to install EQ again since my chars are still there waiting for me.

Yes. I can say I was addicted to Everquest at one time. A co-worker got me addicted. I was playing Diablo 2 at the time and he told me about Everquest. Well I started up a troll on Prexus. And I got hooked. I wanted to get him to level 60. I got him up to level 46. No power leveling. Just grouping each night with other people I didnt know. It was fun for awhile. But warriors depend on their items. And its hard as hell killing something over and over night after night just to save up for weapons. That and I realized my social life had gone to hell. So I finally dumped Everquest.

i played eq for 3 years or so still played till about 2 weeks ago when my comp stoped working and i cant play. Been happier since i quit. Played on Vallon zek PVP server....pvp is a blast. i couldnt be on a blue server cuz killing mobs over and over and over is justboring 2 me.

Here we go
 

lvl 63 Necromancer ... Gnomicon on Solusek Ro
lvl 55 Chanter ... Ndyin on Torv (retired)

Great Game :)

I started playing a few months after the game came out, played a Troll Shaman to 53 quit let my friend take him over, he's now 65, I started back up been playing on and off for about 4 months, have a Beast lord to 49 on Fennin Ro characters name is Shiminyfu Dibinishi would be cool to see some people from tfp there, but it looks like most people are not on fennin.

I quit over a year ago, but I had a 51 Ranger on Morell-Thule. I put so much fucking time into that one character. I had like 1600 hours on him only at level 51. I just loved hanging around in-game. The first six months I didn't even get to level 20, then the second six months I played I got to 51. Addicting as shit, but it gets really old when you realize that no matter how much you play, it's simply not rewarding. There's always someone better than you, mainly because they play EQ more than they sleep or work. I met my girlfriend a year ago and quit EQ a day later. I just messaged the first person I could think of and gave like 40,000 platinum to him and 60,000 platinum worth of armor. Then said bye to my guild, deleted my ranger (Razerwind Ravenshadow), and gave away my account. One of the most spontaneous and hardest things I've ever did. That game will control your life.

I'll definitely play another MMORPG, but I'm not sure which one. Probably Star Wars Galaxies (if it's improved upon) or World of Warcraft.

This guy nailed it on the head. EQ isn't fun. You have to make it fun yourself. The only fun MMORPG I've ever played is The Realm, which I quit a few years ago because my account got disabled.

-Lasereth

do you play golf or you do raid dragons on weekends :)

for me EQ is a lifestyle, i play it with my gf and thats our hobby, nothing better than to have something in common with a person you love.

great game, great waste of time but let us be honest ... everything is a waste of time :)

I played for years on Prexus as the halfling rogue named Rhyce. It was pronounced REESE, not RICE YOU PLEBIANS!

I never really got into Everquest.... seeing my friend's grades go down after his evercrack craziness just made me steer clear... :)

I used to play EQOA. I went nuts with it... was playing up to 18 hours straight some days.

My girlfriend at the time hated me for it which is why I think I enjoyed it so much. Anyway, can't wait for EQ2!

I played EQ from the day it was released till a few months ago off and on. I have a 57 bard and 59 beastlord on the brell server named Quemn and Shaung.

I played off and on for about two years, but I had to share time with my brother so I only got to about lv 37. Just canceled my account, started playing neverwinter nights.

The Realm,UGHHH.

Take the time it takes to level up in EQ and times that by 1000000000000000000.


The Realm = repetition that makes my head want to explode.


EQOA..pleh :/


EQ2 seems intresting,but only because it will be so realistic.
(thought I would never care,but i saw the EQ2 movie...wow)

I have a 65 warrior on 2 different servers :p along with a 57 cleric, 51 druid, and various other chars. I've been up and down on it but I"m having fun right now. It's all about the people you play with.

Been playing for three years. 65 rogue, 54 shadowknight.

I played for just over a year on the Tribunal. Quit at the start of this summer. I had a 57 ranger, 30ish cleric, and a 30 monk. This game ate my soul. I'm glad I quit.

Bristlebroke. 65 Rogue.

I used to play, but I sure as hell can't remember the server I played on. I only got to about level 35 with one of my characters, a halfing ranger named Arrowstorm. Yep.

Are we talking about the same game? :) I got to level 300 in the Realm in about 4 months. That's 1/3 of the way there. It took me a solid year of playing 40 hours per week to get to level 50 in Everquest, and that was with constant leveling. In The Realm, I treasure hunted half the time and still got to level 300 rather quickly. A friend of mine got to level 1000 in about 3 months. It's just knowing which dungeons to go to. Of course, The Realm has the same boring leveling up as most MMORPGs do, but the treasure hunting system in that game is unrivaled.

86 Days to get lvl 50 Las? I'm 65, and I have 38 days played total. Well over half is time I wasn't leveling. I'm not sure what you were fighting, large rats perhaps, that took you that long to get to 50..

Ha ha, I played a second character (got him to level 25) as well, but I mainly played my ranger. I had 1600 hours on him (around 50 days). Of course, I spent a lot of that leveling up by quests and trying to make the most money possible. I had those Centi Longswords at level 20 (two of them, 4k each when I bought them), a Lamentation/Wyrmslayer combo at level 25, and a Lupine Dagger/Lamentation Combo by level 30. I also had that neat looking Crystal armor for rangers at level 35. I may have been leveling up a lot, but most of my time was spent leveling up in places to get money, and not "good experience."

i quit about a month a go, had
65 enchanter +200ish aa's
65 monk + 50ish aa's
65 ranger + 100ish aa's
62 cleric
bit of a power gamer but was playing since pre-kunark, i was on venril sathir, accounts cancelled but i might go back someday heh

65 Cleric on Mith Marr. Play about 3 hours a night.

Re: RE:
 

ditto for me, cept i had a daughter... miss it, the instanced dungeons were a blast, being able to level from 52 to 53 in three asdventures, i.e. three hours, was pretty cool.

I dunno what game you're playing. But no where can you get from 52 to 53 doing LDoN Adventures in 3 hours.

As an update to my char...now a 65 time flagged shadow knight.


Taking a week off atm though,just moved..so getting used to the new house.

shall i tell you my secret .. play the game with your partner (girlfriend in my case) and it is priceless , great hobby to spent time together :)

Who were you? I played on Venril. :)

I played various accounts on Vallon Zek before it went to shit. Tried the whole "purist pvp" thing as a shortie, after investing so much time only for it to all go to waste, I quit.

I rained much death and destruction upon LOIO.

Heya,

I've got a 65 Necro named Hexfate on Tarew Marr
Have played a rogue to 65 as well, but sacrificed him down to 56 ;)

Started playing on the day luclin launched.

Still having a blast ;) although I've quit a few times

Hex's magelo

I used to, for about 2 years. I was on Cazic Thule. Highest I got was 51 with an ogre warrior. I pretty much gave up after that and started a new character. I wasn't much into high levels. I enjoyed the lower/mid level zones like Highkeep :D

I also had a 37 Human Cleric, 45 Iksar Monk, 25 gnome warrior, 30 dwarf rogue, and a couple of other little guys. My favorite was definitly the monk.

I enjoyed it at the time, but I could never have any fun anymore. By the time I quit it had already started getting loot-oriented... My friend still plays, and from what I hear, everything revolves completely around loot and getting the best of the best stuff.

I was never into getting the best stuff...I was into getting what looked cool on my character. Remember that Froglock (spelling?) shield? That was my favorite piece of equipment ever..but also one of the crappiest pieces in the game.

I still have my hundreds (nearly thousands) of screenshots, and enjoy looking at them. Heres a couple of my guys, just for the hell of it.

(the little guy...not Osargen

65 ranger (101 AA)
48 cleric
47 shadowknight

All on the tribunal, all rotting. I quit last month, and feel great. Playing CoH now and having a blast.

Tarew = best server evah.

I was a 65 ranger on Tholuxe Uanwean, quit a year and a few months ago while working on the rathe

I have been playing for 3+ years...Have a 65 cleric and rogue...62 necro along with other characters....playing on the SAryrn Server.

I was on Ayonae Ro as an enchanter (ended up 65, 150 AA) from late 2000-last month. The changes in the game (from a grouping game to a hulking raid game) and overall mudflation took the fun out of for me, and I retired recently and have been larking about in City of Heroes...
