I think the responses in this thread are more interesting than the topic itself. I have a couple thoughts myself.

First, EverQuest is, without a doubt or any equivocation, a complete waste of time.

Second, it is your time to waste as you choose. In fact, time is the only real resource you have.

Finally, I'm much happier since I all but eliminated playing. The raid scene on P99 is kind of a drag.

Then stop posting here.. no one likes you.

Interesting, didn't know that. he goes into detail here

There is so many things wrong with that article, I don't know where to start.

This is just wackball:

"He is simply a demon at it. And we are the demon facilitators because we are so happy he's not using marijuana, we keep letting him play his evil Everquest.”

Really ?, you couldn't take away the computer and take the kid on a fishing trip ? Something tells me that it had more to do with Ben's parenting skills then the relentless grip Everquest had on his son.

“What would any of us do without work, which is truly the Lord's blessing upon us. Life without work is desolation, self-loathing and death. By the way, this is why I want Tommy at a structured place. I can see that if he does no work, his self-esteem vanishes"

Um... What ?

Nonsense. Video games make you a murderer.

Yes. A man stormed into a bank today, wielding a sword and shield and yelling "I summon the power of FIRE to aid me in battle!!!"

A security guard was quoted as saying "I counter with lightning 3" as he hit the man with his stun gun.

Reading this thread has been equally a large waste of my time and life. /ragequit

I'd like to introduce Ben Stein to Furor.


Video games totally ruined his life.

I played EQ when I was 16, but even during raids I'd /shout omg lag, pull the plug and then go out drinking with friends. People only dive into something like EQ completely when there's nothing holding them back like friends, family or any kind of social life. There's no one to blame but the kid himself and his parents.

Yes, legal drinking age is 16 here in Holland plus we got good beer, sucks to be you.

Your beer is OK, Belgium, Germany (Bavaria) and Czech Republic have you beat hands down though.
