What’s the craziest thing you’ve done because of EQ?

[Doktoor]

I got laid off from my primary job in 2000 and got a 3.5 month wage severance/vacation time pay out.

I was burned out from working two jobs and night classes so I decided to take 3 months off work and a quarter off of college and play EQ 18 hrs a day.

That 3 months turned into about a year. I first went back to college full time and then a few months later, got a job.

I still ended up finishing my undergrad degree and going to med school, but I still look back at that year fondly. I had such a great time.

These are some weak ass stories. You losers are either lying or need to step it the fuck up.

What?! These are some pretty damn good ones.

Burst appendix is nuts. RMT’ing an item for $650. 12-year old getting like 4 hours of sleep a night to play (I doubt I could have even functioned in junior high on that much sleep each night). Taking a year off to play EQ lol (glad you finished your degree, but I can’t believe you didn’t get burned out on the game over a solid year).

I love hearing about people doing the Manastone camp completely solo. One guy did 100+ hours, and SOMEHOW was able to take short 5-10 minute “power naps” in between afk checks. FOUR DAYS STRAIGHT camping an item non-stop. He said at one point he started sitting on a wooden box to be as uncomfortable as possible to not pass out.

I guarantee someone out there has shit themselves playing the game. Probably a main tank on a hardcore raid or something. I still have hope for finding this individual.

I played on Vallon Zek so you could spend days on end just pvping.

About 10 years ago, I had a patient who said that he once shit himself for 3 days straight in a foxhole during the Vietnam war, afraid to move, pinned down by enemy machine guns and that that was actually a common thing to do to avoid getting shot.

Every time I see the term “poopsock, I think of that guy shitting himself in the Vietnamese jungle.

Jesus. Having pants filled to the brim with feces, but then just having to wallow in it in a tropical environment with flys and various insects probably huddled en masse around your drawers. Oh, and gunfire.

Reminds me a bit of this story recently about a guy that walked across part of Antarctica:

“ 1st person to cross Antarctica alone pooped his pants halfway through”

Well I'd imagine by "shit himself" they meant he pooped in the foxhole but no way to wipe. So you still probably have a super gross situation where you're basically in a small whole with 3 loads of your feces, but it's probably not in your pants. Even in a foxhole you can pull your pants down to your thighs.

On live I just did the normal neglecting of family and friends and (very annoying) high school girlfriend...:-/

Did a Vox raid in 2000 while getting really drunk. Needless to say I passed out dead in her lair. Guild left me because I wouldn’t wake up. Woke up next day and logged into the game seeming my naked char. Didn’t remember shit. Ended up giving a guild mate my password and log in so he could get me out. Good times!

I need to know if pooping in a sock is a real thing
