I noticed a lot of military folk enjoy EQ...why is that?
 

coincidence?

Plenty of time to play after fuck fuck games.

Most countries have dial-up at least by now, and its probably one of the few games that'll still run on 4kb/sec :D

:D

when I first got ventrillo my roomate said, why does everyone in the middle west play this stupid game you love so much?

I KILLED HIM FOR CALLING EQ STUPID

Hahaha :cool:

haha wow never seen that. too good

I am an active duty person in the military and I can give you a couple of good reasons.

1. Big open spaces- as opposed to where I currently live out of a 2.5ftx6ftx2ft box where I sleep and all of my shit is kept, and I can only go at most ~500 ft in one direction and ~100 ft in another (soon to change because I am about to come back from deployment YAY!). EQ on the other hand is a vast world that has a sandbox element to it where you can explore just about anywhere, and have the freedom to do just about anything, something which no other game really offers at such a massive scale.

2.In the military you are not given many personal freedoms, at all you are told what to wear, your appearance is dictated 100%, only allowed to eat at certain times and only what they offer. In EQ I can make a shaggedy assed halfling and run around buck naked, drunk, beating fire beetles with a stick to my hearts content and no one can tell me otherwise.

But that is just my two cents.

Personally, I played and loved EQ as a young teenage so the nostalgia is a huge part for me for playing P99 as an active duty Soldier.

Now plenty of the Soldiers in the battery I command play a lot of CoD/BF4, LoL, and WoW.

Currently, I also play TESO with a few of my friends from IRL/P99. Always loved me some Bethesda!

:D
