I gained a bunch of lifelong friends from EQ.
How do you loose something if you are doing what you want and someone else demands you do as they wish? Sounds to me like addition by subtraction. As for it being "selfish", when someone demands you behave as they wish or else, who is really being selfish?

I quit my job over EQ because I didnt want to miss a raid, of course the job was getting progressively worse and I was thinking about quiting anyway and I was like F it why not.
I guess you could also say i lost a couple of friends over EQ because i just sort of lost touch with them, but they mostly just got me into big trouble anyway so C'est la vie | ||

I missed out on some pretty good opportunities because of EQ. I had a cushy job strait of out highschool and after I got settled in I just sort of got lazy. The company I worked for actually ended up building MySpace and later selling it for 265 million or whatever ungodly amount. Stock options pay off well when things like that happen. Unfortunately that happened AFTER I left. Oh well.
But, since I was such a nerdy kid, I didn't have a girlfriend to lose. Actually a hot cougar from my guild jumped my bones, so if anything the game helped me get laid. How pathetic is that? But then I went and chased another girl I met in the game, she was a tease and I wasted like 3 years of my life obsessing about her and got nothing to show for -- other than the fact that I learned a valuable lesson about leverage. I'm not "the nice guy" anymore, nice guys finish last. So yeah, MMORPG women are crazy. And internet upstarts make you more money than EverQuest does.

No, can't say I've ever lost anyone due to EQ or anything else 'internet related.' Started EQ when I was 15, went to college at 17, and graduated a few years later. EQ was never a problem and I even raided nearly every night during the period I played. I just set some basic rules: Real Life first, gaming second.
I've heard some pretty ****** up stories about losing wives, children, homes, money, careers, etc. I wanted to avoid that. It's just a game, but I understand how alluring it is to slip into an simulated reality where all our real life difficulties evaporate and you can be whoever you want to be. | ||
