What's the longest you've stayed awake playing EQ?

[Khorza]

I did something like 34 hours pushing to 50 on P99 Blue. It was 10 years ago so it wasn't really a big deal or anything, nowadays I can barely stay up past 10 PM.

Maybe 18 hours back when it was new.

Like 5-6 hours? I've never really stayed on P99 except plain old longer play sessions. No marathon camps even for Tecmos's Verina Tomb iirc.

You guys are insane.

Only 5-6 hours? I call bs coming from a guy who has averaged over 2 posts per day on the forums for over 7 years... you have binged this game atleast once like the rest of us.

Not that I can recall man. I camped jboots on blue during classic and it took like 7-8 hours, but I definitely took a bunch of 20-minute cat naps on my office floor between spawns. And when I did VT, it took all night to find her near the end of her window, but iirc India was there the whole time and some other A-Team people came in and out helping keep an eye on her and had my # to text, so I didn't even stay up the whole time for that.

I really don't think I've ever played more than 5-6 hours in a sitting without sleep breaks. I may be online for 10 hours many days but it's playing for 10 minutes, afk 10 minutes, repeat. I rarely even play for 90 minutes sitting at the computer the whole time. Posts are probably 50/50 from my phone when I'm not even at home, let alone on p99 [You must be logged in to view images.

IDK if this is the longest, but spent about 12 hours at #1 on manastone list and no drop. Took screenshots of all(?) the "/list afk ####" prompts that seem to pop up once an hour or so. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

82 hours while on leave in the Marines, around Luclin, right before PoP. Mostly just caffeine, but probably also the pre-Ephedra-ban Hydroxycut too. Not nearly as much as my peers though. Some dumbasses were snorting that stuff. Back during the early Iraq/Afghanistan war era, everyone was amped on the stuff, like Rip Fuel and worse. We had a Gunny cardiac out and die during a PT run from too much of it.

On the blue server, I think around 32ish on a mega roll when me, Stoneeye, Oogthwack, and a few others (maybe Ereaon and Summanus as well?) all got together for a P1999 LAN party back in like, 2010 I think. Maybe 2015? I can't remember. I don't even remember how we managed to get that many IP exemptions for that weekend for so many EQ players here in one spot, but it was a awesome time.

On the green sever, 27 hours. Went from level 6 to 10 duoing with my buddy Riky. We dicked off a lot though. I've never been an efficient EQ player.

Probably 24 hours back on live. Never did anything like that on P99 though. Have no interest in spending that amount of time on an emulated server :P

Yikes.

13 days, tried for 2 weeks but fell asleep with meth pipe and lighter in hand lol. Sometimes there ain't a damn thing you can do about it [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

This sounds unbelievably absurd but for some reason I believe it.. lol.

Reminds me of this box army guy who did meth and farmed dragons on one of the TLP servers.

This is what I imagine when I think of the people who reach the level cap first.

31 hours and counting at the green manastone camp. I am way too old for this crap!
