Longest time on EQ ever - Page 5

Eyry · #41 08-04-2010, 12:56 PM

Was a freshman in college playing my level 70 bard. I was doing all the evolution gear quests. It was fun as hell. Got on right after class which was about 5pm and stayed on till 7am. That maybe was not the longest I have been on consecutively but it sure as hell felt long. I never pull all nighters.

I hear ya, but really, you can have a HELL of a lot of fun playing EQ casually. Way more fun than the games that are actually geared towards casual players.

Something to look forward to:

I spent a ton of time in Karnors Castle when Kunark came out, helping guild members complete their VP key... "Hail, Venril Sathir's Remains".

On a side note, I never really saw anyone pass out or start typing with their forehead on P1999.

In classic this happened all the time, especially when you spent an hour+ buffing for Naggy and logging out to chat so they didn't fade etc.

Yeah - I play 98% of the time 'casually' - a few hours each night... What I can on the weekend. But on occasion, I'll get time for more 'marathon' play.

While I was unemployed during EQLive for a while, I'd get up each morning - make coffee - spend an hour or two putting out resumes/job searching.

Then the rest of the day... EQ

Omg... -_-'

So... Whats the average time length of one raid session ?

I played during live and I thought my 15 hours in one day was a long time 0_o this thread is just crazy.

Welll... insert smarmy response here

In all honesty it completely varies. There's a dragon named Nagafen who beginning to end takes about an hour. Other areas however require the entire zone to have been emptied/killed to engage enemy XYZ.

Just to clarify for people, there is no raid currently on Project1999 that takes more than a couple hours to complete.

The closest we have is Fear and Hate. Those can take a 3-4 hours to clear out a full spawn. It all depends on how many groups you have and your DPS. The zones however are rarely full pop these days.

What we have instead is people leaving their characters in a zone for 3-5 days to be first in line to kill a raid boss. It's not the same thing and doesn't count as usually they are not even near their computers or are alt-tabbed doing something else.

The Plane of Sky will be the first LONG ASS RAID on this server but (if done properly), no guild should be able to get to the last Island till Kunark is released and their members are all level 60 or damn near close to it.
