I keep playing for that little tinge of satisfaction that comes from every group I'm in, someone commenting that it's the best group they've ever been in.

late Middle English: from Old French queste (noun), quester (verb), based on Latin quaerere 'ask, seek'. See also inquest. c. 1300, "an inquest;" early 14c., "a search for something" (especially of judicial inquiries or hounds seeking game), from Old French queste "search, quest, chase, hunt, pursuit; inquest, inquiry" (12c., Modern French quête), properly "the act of seeking," and directly from Medieval Latin questa "search, inquiry," alteration of Latin quaesitus (fem. quaesita) "sought-out, select," past participle of quaerere "seek, gain, ask" (see query (n.)). Romance sense of "adventure undertaken by a knight"(especially the search for the Grail) is attested from late 14c. Johnson's dictionary has questmonger "Starter of lawsuits or prosecutions." (The last part isn't directly related, but interesting that ruleslawyers are included.) Quote:
But then, saying "man the fuck up" is lazy advice, a platitude of the 21st century asshole. Not calling you an asshole, but it is an asshole thing to say. If there is an answer, it isn't church or history or workout routines...it would have to be in the question itself. The quest. In our search for and research of a bug and its fix, a disease and its cure, a quest and its reward, etc. And the [exact words] to convey something not tldr on these forums. | ||||

You shouldn't regret posting your thoughts.
Most of us here have a similar recollection, not the same details obviously but the same very positive good feeling surrounding the nostalgia of our experience with EQ. If you find EQ to be a needed escape it isn't necessarily a bad thing. Most of us also relate to the various power this game can have...if you do have a diagnosed mental illness you should def bring up your video game playing if you are concerned about it with a health care provider. For some folks, I have even heard some positive anecdotal improvement in depression and social anxiety. | ||

Thank you for your post. This game is a total escape for me too. Escape from watching the news 24/7 and angsting about the state of the world. Escape from buying shit on Amazon. Escape from boredom. Escape from imperfection of RL. It's fun. It's beautiful. It's an amazing thing to be able to open the computer and enter this lovely magical world. It's amazing to be in the game where you first were able to play with people from all over the world, and you still can. Thank you again for sharing your post. We're all in Norrath to escape and play in a world very different from the real one. Or is it.....
