Do you see yourself stopping?

[Gilder]

Been playing with you fine folks for just over a year now. I started in May of last year and my main and only character is 45 (Gilder the Druid).

Now that I'm getting closer and closer to the end game, I feel "okay" with the idea of stopping.

Hear me out - I'm not saying I'm sick of playing. I just feel like I'm getting closer to "closure" with the game.

I was just a kid when EQ went live (barely a teenager), so I never had a powerful, high-level character. I just kind of farted around, traded gear and died in exotic locations. The world still felt full of mystery long after I quit playing. Now that I'm getting to see a lot of that content, I feel like I'm successfully scratching the nostalgia itch. Do you guys ever feel that way?

EQ sometimes feels like a game I never quite "beat" and I'm coming back to it now for that sense of closure. There's a lot of games out there for the first Playstation I feel this way about - the best example being Final Fantasy 8. I finally beat a few years ago and I look back on the story and the experiences fondly. Never with any sort of "burn out."

I guess what I mean is - do you see yourself parting ways with EQ in a POSITIVE light?
