Lost the spark?

[pharmakos]

I really wanted to get sucked in to Green, but I just can't seem to do it. Have barely played EQ this year, but for years before now I played TAKP and three boxed. That got boring. Now, I figured I'd try getting back into the game, single boxing, and just... Idk. The game isn't fun anymore? I love the socializing, but otherwise there's so many other games if rather play instead of bashing my head against the wall that is EQ grinding. I've been working on beating every main series Final Fantasy, for instance, something I've always wanted to do but never could because EQ took up so much of my gaming time...

Has EQ always sucked? Was it always just a fancy chat room? Why not play a better game and talk to someone while doing it?
