Liberation comes when you realize that you define what it is to "have" and what it is to "have not." Most of the highly successful raiders I knew during classic, myself included, focused so much on gear, leveling, and power that we sacrificed many in-game friends and endured, boring crappy gameplay conditions.
People usually remember fun, social activities from EQ or zany adventures gone awry. I remember those over completing my epic, clearing NToV for the first time, and a number of end-game related triumphs.
I feel like Big-Bossing a poopsock out of someone's hand, throwing it to the ground, and telling them that it is time to live.
