Have you ever had a panic attack in EQ?

[fuji]

Has anyone else ever freaked out while playing the game?

Back in the day I was playing my wiz and I handed in some epic quest items without the proper faction needed. I remember staring at the screen for at least an hour trying to figure out what went wrong, while at the same time sweating like a madman and almost passing out. Probably my worst EQ moment.

I can remember bruising my hand really bad from pounding my desk because...someone stole our raid kill in Kael one time.

Other than that I have been pretty easy going.

The most thats ever happened I think was my heart lept up into my throat a few times during my turn at my epic mob and being unsure if we could finish off Queen in Chardok due to an enchanter going down or a wizard.

Lol first off, if you had a panic attack, you would know how horrible and scary they are. Ive only had like two panic attacks in RL ever and didn't even know I was capable of feeling such stress, but those were due to RL things, like boyfriends. It's the worst feeling ever, and I dont think it could ever happen to me in game because if I messed up a quest you could always petition it or fix it in some way - Cant petition a GM to fix RL issues that come up though!

Well, you could... just don't be surprised if they try to slowly push that boyfriend out of the picture.

I'm sure at some point in time some poor wis caster *must* have handed in their Testament of Vanear to the Erudin Cleric's Guild hoping for an even more awesome quest reward... only to get some random cleric spell scroll and faction in return.

Yeah, me, two weeks ago. On a side note, I got my brewing up pretty high doing the camp twice. There were 2000 posts about dyllin's spawn time, and jack about the quest, so I made my way to erudin 20 seconds at a time, kept dozing off from that stupid camp, thought that was the end of the quest. WRONG. Languid Pace, whoopty doo.

My worst EQ moment was my last. My first toon was a Troll Warrior I created in the first week of Everquest. He had a Mask of the Deceiver, had the first piece of Indicolite ever looted on the server (Rallos Zek), and the second or third full set.

Anyways, I died somewhere deep in Sebilis one night and group decided to call it a night and try CR the next day. Sure. Fine. Except my apartment building burned to the ground while I was at work the next day! I lost that corpse on account of not having access to another computer in the ensuing week. I was devastated and couldn't bring myself to ever log back in.

Oh yeah... I also lost my favorite lucky tshirt in the fire as well. That hurt almost as much as losing my computer and my EQ stuff.

Man, that's gotta say something about how addictive EQ is. Your apartment burns down, and you're sweating the EQ character haha

It is serious stuff. We know that it isnt real, but it is the time and effort spent that is lost.
