But my answer is valid. I skipped my mage epic so I could play p99 instead of farming plat until my eyes bled. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]
And at 1 million plat to buy it aprox, That is ridiculous.

People who don't value their time won't get this. So in their mind farming plat is playing the game when in actuality it's grinding so you can then play the game.

Not P99, but back in high school in 99. My buddy and I skipped our very first day of school in our lives, to stay at home and play EQ. The fear that my mom or dad, or neighbor would call and hear a busy line cause i was on the internet was seriously real...

l never skipped work or college. I did lose alot of sleep with some late night tracking and poopsocking during kunark and early velious though.

A flight, a job interview, an exam, showering for three weeks straight.

Back on live during Luclin, I was a 59 shaman racing another 59 shaman to 60 in order to claim the guild's only copy of Malo. He would ask every day how far I was. I would give some vague reply about how poorly I was getting xp and painfully slow 59 was.

The truth was I took a week's vacation from work to solo grind. I beat him.

Then I found out there was no copy of Malo. :-/

Good thread OP.

I think beyond the normal "i missed some classes" and "I called in sick to work a couple of times at the peak of my addiction" I have 2 real GEWD 1s.

#1: I have definitely turned down sex for EQ multiple times. One time in college, my gf showed up at my door unexpectedly. I was camping something in Seb. I told her to fuck off and didn't even let her in my apartment.

#2 Work had just ended and I was packing up to leave. Suddenly my batphone went off. WE'RE GOIN FOR GORENAIRE. At this time, i was also controlling tranix and Drusella timers with my fellow degenerate neckbeard. I literally jumped back to my desk and whipped out my laptop in front of the entire company and stayed there for 2 hours straight.

Funnily, once I explained to my boss what I was doing, he totally understood. he was like "oh wow I did not understand the significance."

i'm now a director at that company

I skipped the entire weekend with my family LOL. Since there was an XP bonus last weekend I decided to play a lot of EQ as I was 58 and trying to get to 60. So I logged in Friday morning at 9 am and got upper bears camp in permafrost. I soloed that camp non-stop till midnight and then I set my alarm for 5 am and went to bed. Saturday I wake up at 5 am and claim upper bears camp again. At 4 pm I yell "Ding 59". I continue to keep this camp down until 1 am. I set the alarm for 5 am and go to sleep. I get up at 5 am Sunday and grind the upper bears camp all day and night till midnight. I set the alarm for 5 am and got up Monday morning and started killing upper bears camp again.

At 1 PM Monday I yelled "Ding 60". So I did nothing all weekend but play this God forsaken game. I got 60 though :P

And maybe my wife and kids will forgive me and speak to me this weekend, LOL

I am out of college but I go back to work for the college in a part-time capacity as a hired judge for the debate program. We are at a tournament down in the Dallas-Forth Worth area and on the second day of the tournament I ended up passing on a ballot because of Vox.

I get to the tournament early in the morning and all of round 1 and round 2 are assigned. I have a round 2 ballot but not a round 1 ballot. I ask the judges table will you need me round 1; they say no. I then go find the tournament director and she tells me that all the ballots are out so I am not needed. Go to the judges lounge, setup the laptop, fire up ventrillo, log in my 52 bard and start tracking Vox who is late in window. Vox pops and we start mobilizing and that is when the tournament director comes over and starts telling me how someone took a judges ballot but the judge no-showed and won't answer their phone. I tell her sorry but I have already promised 20 some people in this video game that I would help them. The tournament director was mad, the debate coach was mad, everyone in the judges lounge was confused but Vox died.
