Oops, forgot about that because it was never enforced. :P

I did see many times warning against buying or selling accounts for cash, but never anything about sharing accounts. Right from the start my friends all multi boxed each others accounts, all the time, and never had any problems. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

It isn't that EQ is "hard". This is all content that veterans have grinded, quested, tradeskilled, raided, trained, camped, and whatever else for literally hundreds of hours. It's ten years old. Yeah, you have to work for what you have, but there's really not a challenge beyond dealing with bad groups and stupid players. Druids who constantly melee without ever sitting and wonder why they're always out of mana; monks pulling 12 mobs with the only justification being that they have a damage shield; rangers who get low on health, panic, and immediately start trying to kite the mob, completely ignoring the fact that we are INSIDE, then throw a hissy fit because "twinks dont die that easy you guys didnt heal me" and proceeds to ragequit. (sorry, kind of a run on. Tried not to do it) What I'm getting at is, ironically, the people around me usually make the game seem much harder than it is. And, unfortunately, when I want to play the classes I really enjoy, I can't just ditch those people. I can't backstab a mob when I'm the only one on it's aggro list.

Main point being that EQ is time consuming and frustrating long before it is particularly hard. Most people don't have time to level a character to 50 as fast as possible. It does take a lot of work and quite a few days played, but really that just falls under time again. There is no real money involved at all, so I don't see a problem with it. Honestly, there are times when it feels like I almost need a farming class to be where I want to be with another character. Obviously this isn't true, but it feels that way sometimes.

People just want to skip the hassle. The end game is a big goal for most people (not all, there are the casuals who take it easy and watch the grass grow) and the grind is the way to get there. Sometimes the grind is not appealing at all.

Let em do it. It's not for something tangible, it's for a pixel.

I'm seriously bored.

Lol.. umm, ya it is? that's where the word boxing freakin' came from. Multi-boxing, aka boxing. Box = computer.

Computers rock and rolled and got better to where you could load up multiple instances on the same one, but in the beginning boxing meant actual multiple computers.

all this is really confusing to me.

I can see where a person could spend tons of time and level up a toon to 50, farm items and accumulate lots of plat. Now were talking about "fantasy" money here, so this person want's to trade all this "fantasy" money with another person for their toon or whatnot, both parties here have had to invest tons of time in order to get all this "fantasy" money in the first place right?

This is assuming that no real $$$ is being made or exchanged here.

What I fail to understand is WHY anyone would spend so much time and effort into something that has no "real life" value.

People set up businesses here, trading services for plat etc..

What does it all add up to?
Do these people sit back and say "wow I'm so filthy rich in fantasy money, I'll never have to work a real job again?"

I mean it's kind of sad the amount of time and effort put into something that could go poof and disappear overnight and has no real value.

If that's where you receive your entertainment then who am I to judge. I put some time into playing EQ because I find it entertaining but I realize that it's just a video game and has nothing to do with real life.
Good story brah.
