Quake

Can only hope he looks back in 6 months and cringes at self.

Of course it did. When 200+ people rely on his word which determines how they spend their time, when he drops the ball it has consequences. Whether he was helping people or if he just fell asleep on the couch, he has a responsibility. It doesn't matter if you say "it's just a game, get a life, yada yada." If your friend planned an event, and so you made plans and got ready and drove out to the place, waiting for it to open, only to find out, after waiting outside for a long period of time, that not only is it closed, but it was never going to open. You'd be well within your rights to wonder why your friend never bothered to inform you.

It's not like he didn't have any way to tell someone. People saw his Discord status on and off all day. if he forgot, fine, just say that. Saying "I was busy helping hurricane victims" just sounds like a disingenuous, pity-plea cop out. "They can't be mad if I was helping victims."

you mean if there wasn't going to be a quake you would have spent time with your wife, kids, or friends off of the internet?

OMG you guys put in all those hours at work and you didn't even get paid? Oh, wait, its a video game. Maybe try playing the game more casual and taking real life more serious instead.

Even as a fellow eq player its legitimate to say blowing off days at a time waiting for the possibility of pixels is... sad.

Everyone knows it. Start taking stock of things because when you're that deep in the addiction, the consequences hav already started to show up regardless if you are actually aware.

Up until this point it wasn't a possibility. It was logical to presume a quake would happen today which is why 1000 people were online for the final few hours of the day. Since the probability of a quake was so high - easy, fast raids then you go to bed, not this life consuming bs you make it out to be.

It's 100% valid to feel frustrated.

Funny how some of the people going "LOL get a life" have 80% raid attendance the past 6 months. Which is like basically 3am raids, 24/7 raiding.

I think this is valid.

You understand people make plans around these earthquakes right? They're a fairly big deal. It's fine if you don't do anything for them but for some of us, we rely on these events....

This made me feel sad for you as a person.

I would literally have done anything else. Even if it was simply XPing in the game, instead, I camped with my guild, along with many other guilds, for a promised event that didn't occur.

It's fine if you don't do anything for them but for some of us, we rely on these events to be able to get certain mobs.

I don't feel sorry for you at all

Stop wasting your life on a video game

Hope this helps
