I'VE never played Everquest but one of my cousins and all of his friends were hooked on it for several years and they played ALL the time. I figure it must be a fun, habbit-forming game if he enjoyed it all this time and plays it a lot!
I have two friends that have been playing it since the beginning.
One of them almost broke up their marrage over the game, becouse he played it so much. They have spent thousands of dollars buying characters of of ebay even. They are realy sucked in.
Your friend in the Arts, Redfive
those are nicknames people give everquest for those who dont know much about everquest it is a online Massive Multiyplayer roleplaying game. Which breaks down to a non-stop game with end less adventures www.everquest.com there are so many sites which cover everquest infact on Fri pst time Dateline is having a full show on everquest. This game i believe dos some sort of hypnosis or submission codes that hook you. Last year i cant believe i did this, (i was way way way hooked) i choose my Everquest over my friends right infront of them. When i went cold turkey i craved playing couldnt stop thinking what if i did this and that, I play some times but do my best not to get hooked and only play on weekends. ANother site www.castersrealm.com has many games and a big section on everquest. I play on Rellos Zek PvP and chars name is Pubbinn i Weild a tantors tusk on a paladin lvl 1 lol. Havent lvled that char yet. I started on rellos after a wal i moved to tunare got urber stuff lost my stuff TRADER BUG> went to rellos lost that stuff. Went back to tunare got urber stuff. Lost that stuff went back to rellos , Got urber stuff , Lost that stuff . went back to Tunare , Lost that stuff . went back to rellos where i am now. Over the last 1-2 year period. I have proble had over my whole Everquest time played had a good 4000000 worth of gear and other stuff. Threw everquest it brought me to the point of madness and nearly felt like killing my self , I became more depressed and less intrested in the real world , I was sick and now i am better , It was a great struggle which tought me many life lessions and nearly killed me. I realized how close i was when - Some other guy named Shawn Shot himself in the head and was on everquest and depressed like me. I couldnt believe it are names where the same and everything, At the time i was madly in love with a girl that hated me. She was mormon, and couldnt date anyhow and was liking someone who i rezeted beyond belief, I had a few dreams of pounding this smuk into the ground. Also my parents got devorced and i was feeling lonely some of my friends betrayed me at this time. My dog got hit by a car. I was sucking in martial arts. My grades where low and a bunch of other stuff just nearly brought me to the end of what i could take , I thank god that he gave me the striength to survive ,
I got a girl friend now and my grades are way up also i am doing so well in martial arts, o yeah and my dog did survive the car hitting him and he is 100% as well. So all is well at the moment and that is great!
Yes I agreed with you and then I beta tested Earth&Beyond. Being able to travel with people, coming up with battle plans, and having a large world to explore makes the cost worth it. When you think of the costs that go into maintaining the servers and developing new content, the costs don't seem so bad.
It ruined my social life and I played all the time.
The Game Masters are obsessed nerds who get their asses kissed all the time.
I seriously would go nuts listening to people talk on this game and kiss a GM's ***.
I played alot of characters and played for over a year.
I quit the game because it was ruining my life. All I did was sit at my computer not pick up the phone and sit at spawns for hours upon hours waiting for an item to drop.
The people was the real reason.
I couldn't stand them bickering all the time and trying to be "NICE" to everyone.
It was like real life for the people on there, you had to have manners ask permission to look at equip and beg for a bard to take you somewhere or a Mage.
I would offer up to 20 platinum for ports but no the druids and the wizards were MUCH to busy to take a 3 minute trip.
Hahaha I wouldnt have ported your butt either. Newbies send me tells asking for ports, I just pretend I'm afk...even while running right by them! People aren't supposed to help you.... if they don't want to you can't blame them for it.
JKN75, you really like Earth and Beyond? I was thinking of playing it.
