Is there a correlative relationship between you beginning playing EQ and your girlfriend getting pissed at you? Or did you do something else that's making her not talk to you?
EQ is a massive, unbearable time sink. After 3 years, if you could honestly say that you saw long-term potential between you two, then fucking ditch this stupid game. Just isn't worth it.
Promise you: if you let this relationship drift away, she'll find another dude, and you'll be wrecked with regret and despair. This is an emulated server that isn't going to last forever or something. Find something else to obsess over if you're hankering for an mmo to play. EQ is far and away the biggest waste of time for the least payoff.
Try to get her to play EQ with you if it's a deal-breaker for both of you. Or better yet, get her to start playing WoW with you or something-- it's much easier to break a non-game-player into WoW than a game like EQ which is almost entirely pointless, non-goal-driven, takes for-fucking-ever to do anything, and 99% of the non-end-game content is mindless grinding on trash mobs for trash loot.
In conclusion: EQ is ultimately a stupid game, good for little more than nostalgia, raiding and making game-related friends. I know it's hard to hear if you're in the throes of EQ addiction, but the girl is worth more than this game and its player base. Plain and simple.
