You knew you were addicted to EQ when...

[Lagaidh]

The first indication was probably the first time I made an out-loud comment about how sitting long enough had made my ass go completely flat.

Like others said... /played combined with how low a level I was for the time.

This is almost embarrassing to look at now and realize whole years of my life were spent playing, when added up. But it was fun. And I'm here now.

if you think about it, i think other people have spent countless days/months watching tv, playing an xbox or any other game console or even doing some weird shit such as geocaching. entertainment is still entertainment regardless of whatever medium you use [You must be logged in to view images.

My only classic/kunark All nighter was camping that robe in dalnir for my necromancer. I collect robes and i believe that one was the final piece i needed. Took all night and 8am in the morning it finally dropped!

Another all nighter or 48 hour benge was when GoD released (i think) whenever the level cap was raised by 5 levels anyway... I was a monk on Stromm and when the day it released 6 of us rushed into Plane of fire and went to tables. It was non-stop pulling, no time to eat RL food only had a 10min break to take a crap! Went from 60-64 there wasn't strong enough to get to 65 and had to goto sleep.

Only other time i can recall doing something similar was during the Progression server was happening. Our guild (realm of insanity) unlocked PoP and were waiting for a GM to release the content to the server and when they finally got around to doing so it was a rush to the best EXP spots in the planes. My group decied to hit Plane of valor i think and killed those annoying crystal spiders. Needless to say most of the guild was 65 within 2 days or so and started our masterful unlocking progression through the content. Good times.

Spent 9 hours in Lower Guk (I think I was unlucky) camping a Mask of Deception for my rogue alt.

Not even a main, a level 14 (at the time) alt... wtf :/

This ^ is really true...

I am ahem an older person lets say and sometimes I get funny looks when I tell people I play everquest...then they go off and do dumb shit like PAY to chase a little white ball around ALL DAY LONG.

I think when i camped the Fabled Jboots in Nagena for 54 hours straight was the first indication...lol

To this day I still listen to classic EQ music in my car driving to work...


Also, I was mid chardok raid a few months after kunark release, some guy smashed into a telephone pole outside, i ran outside and basically ran the scene at 15 years old just to get the ball rolling faster and things cleaned up so the electric company could get the power working again... lol

lol!

I knew I was addicted when...

...I cranked one out and didn't bother to minimize EQ.
