What’s the craziest thing you’ve done because of EQ?

Hadden camp on live i would say. At one point in the early 2000's, i had over 1 year of play time on my warrior.

camping frezny on blue, inbetween spawns i drove to work and went back to farming frenzy while at work

On live, my 1st raid ever, 12+ hour Vox raid that wiped like 8 times. After the 4th-5th wipe I kept falling asleep. I woke up after everyone had left like the next day.

After reading these....I should be ashamed of myself; I am not however.

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

I got laid off from my primary job in 2000 and got a 3.5 month wage severance/vacation time pay out.

I was burned out from working two jobs and night classes so I decided to take 3 months off work and a quarter off of college and play EQ 18 hrs a day.

That 3 months turned into about a year. I first went back to college full time and then a few months later, got a job.

I still ended up finishing my undergrad degree and going to med school, but I still look back at that year fondly. I had such a great time.

These are some weak ass stories. You losers are either lying or need to step it the fuck up.

What?! These are some pretty damn good ones.

Burst appendix is nuts. RMT’ing an item for $650. 12-year old getting like 4 hours of sleep a night to play (I doubt I could have even functioned in junior high on that much sleep each night). Taking a year off to play EQ lol (glad you finished your degree, but I can’t believe you didn’t get burned out on the game over a solid year).

I love hearing about people doing the Manastone camp completely solo. One guy did 100+ hours, and SOMEHOW was able to take short 5-10 minute “power naps” in between afk checks. FOUR DAYS STRAIGHT camping an item non-stop. He said at one point he started sitting on a wooden box to be as uncomfortable as possible to not pass out.

I guarantee someone out there has shit themselves playing the game. Probably a main tank on a hardcore raid or something. I still have hope for finding this individual.
