couple ways to quell the itch:

1. Time in nature
2. Art
3. Cold water immersion
4. Meditation
5. Exercise/physical exertion

Best of luck!
I like to spend my time indoors, hunched over beautiful models, eyeing over their beautiful details, hands aching from fingering the brush...

I'm of course talking about painting fantasy war gaming figures!

that's a good hobby. i bought a bunch of figures and paints because I thought I would enjoy that too. i didn't ^^; so now I watch YouTube and think about what else's I might like to do.

You've sunk hundreds of hours already and if you sink hundreds more the only thing you'll end up with is a slightly more powerful cartoon avatar on a server that will get deleted in a few years. There's so many other things you could do with your life that you won't regret later.

It took me a surprising number of attempts to really get into it properly. Getting the right desk/seating/lighting set up and watching YouTube guides really helped.

I also temped two months as cover for a games workshop store manager to cover some sickness leave. The store regulars and the access to so many high quality materials really helped. Apparently the chaos marines I painted ended up in Peterborough.

YouTube is really great for entering new hobbies.

It was at this point I decided to no longer be kind to the casuals as they have extreme short term memory. They did this to themselves, unfortunately.

This game is really good at sucking you in because every accomplishment gives a little endorphin boost and is a stepping stone towards completing the next task.

I have taken numerous long breaks and come back even at points where I really needed the time to do more important things.

My advice if you really don't want to play is to focus on the glaring opportunity cost. I've never been great at just half playing this game so when I'm actively playing I spend large amounts of time on the game. If I don't play I have a ton of time to play other less time demanding games, hang out with the family, get exercise, educate learn some new skills etc. You can really get a lot out of the time you put in to play P99.

Try learning a musical instrument. I'd suggest guitar but there's tons of options. Learning to make music / play along to songs you like is a ton of fun, it could seriously level up your life.

Substitution is an effective way of getting rid of undesirable habits.

Learning a musical instrument is massively time consuming, hours of practice everyday... might just kill the EQ itch. Until you think it would be fun to learn to play the Everquest loading music.

Back to square one.
