So your GF in High School was a mean ass and your wife is a nicer ass?

I argued and fought with my wife alot over EQ when I played live, although she got over herself eventually. I told her if she doesn't like it to gtfo and leave me alone. We got married less than a year before I started playing EQ and we're still married and we celebrated our 11th anniversary in May...

By all accounts husband, wife, and wife's lover couldn't be happier. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

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.

Did EQ cause you to lose it, or were you losing it already?

Sometimes I wonder if EQ caused our economy to slump. Too many people playing it?

Other times I think EQ killed god and MTV. It's confusing.
