What’s the craziest thing you’ve done because of EQ?
 
I’m curious what lengths people have gone to for this game. From /listing for items upwards of 100 hours, or back in the day carrying a beeper for dragon spawn notices, this game has caused folks to do some pretty crazy things.
I have a friend who camped Aqua Goblins for plat for I think it was 3 days straight. Not as crazy as some /lists, but still pretty nuts.

For me, I played EQ in 2000 when I was in high school. I remember I faked a story about some family matter to get out of going to a wrestling tournament over a 3 day weekend so I could play EQ instead lol. For those in the know, I even did a wrestle off against 3 different people to guarantee my spot at my weight class for the tournament, and then I decided not to go but to play EQ instead =).

So what craziness has the game led you too? Have you pooped in a sock, or know someone who has?! Passed out from physical exhaustion playing for days??
Tells us your darkest secrets!

This topic will range from amusing to downright depressing if everyone answered honestly. Some people have very real issues with this game, life in general or both around here.

I just camped the jBoots for 22 hours straight and that will go down as the craziest thing I've done and ever will do for this game. I mean, it's straight up lunacy how long some of us spend in this space. I love it but when it starts to impact my diet, my workout routine and my sleep, I'm putting it on the back burner.

This game is scary addictive!

All night raid (don't even remember where) and time slipped away from me, until I heard the bus honking outside because it was time to go to school. My mom was NOT happy that she had to drive me after I missed the bus.

I got up at 3 am to kill hadden which I think is pretty fucking crazy. Pretty tame compared to others I am sure.

As a 12 year old in middle school during live I used to set my alarm every night for about 1:00AM so I could stay up until about 5:30 playing, then go back to bed for an hour before school.

It’s not kind to ask the mentally ill about the depths of their handicap.
