Not going to be the crown jewel in this thread or anything, but I must have been 19 at the time and had been in a guild up and coming into their own. Major stuff was happening and I was on the cusp of being a major player in our raid scene and had ambitions of getting that phat lewt.

We wiped on some trash in CoM and I went on a teenage rant about how everyone sucked and this isn't going to cut it and no one deserved to lick my boot and whatever else I could think of to try and "motivate" them.

Well the guild leader kicked me right there and I was crushed. He laid into me good and all my dreams of raid pixels were instantly obliterated.

I actually cried IRL and I remember looking over and seeing my face in the closet mirror and thinking how pathetic I was that I am crying over a video game. So yea, crying over this game is the craziest thing I've ever done in the name of Norrath.

The craziest thing ive done because of EQ was evolve aliases from it. I randomed a character named Tonax on Rallos Zek server.

I made an alt saying I liked the nax somehow made Senax.

On Diablo 2 Senax was taken so I made Cenax. I said I like how that looked better so started using it.

Eventually a wrestler named John Cena became popular and everyone kept asking me John Cena questions and thinking I was a fan and all the jokes fell flat with me I stuck to just Cen.

As more people asked the meaning instead of the long explanation I just said the phonetics and said it stands for Charlie Echo November. When I started doing pornography and one guy told me to use a less boring name then my own I went with Charles November. This all happened because of EQ

Did you say it out loud? "I like how that looks?"

In 2001 a buddy of mine owned a LAN/coffee shop. Spent a lot of time there playing for free and getting free coffee. Two of us went on a 3-day stretch once where we didn't leave the place. Playing EQ, taking turns crashing on his office couch and ordering pizzas.

Compared to some others here, it's not too crazy, but man those were good times. Sometimes I wish I was 19 again with no responsibilities.

I'm still waiting for the p99'er that forgot their kid in the car in summer and left them to die to go answer their batphone. You have to know someone here has had a close call at least.

Failed out of college, divorced my wife and lost career at high paying job in search of 20yr old elf pixels.

All that in 2 years? [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]
