I have stopped playing Everquest when the level cap was 70.
Several years ago.
I had a level 70 Wizard & Beastlord. It took me 3 years to build these characters up, the leveling was so slow & I had only a limited amount of time in which to play, Family, Friends & work always came first.
I quit because I realised just how little I was getting from the game in terms of real life advantages in the real world.
I still have 1 friend who still plays it. His hours of play are about 5 YEARS out of the 8 or so EQ has been around.
No surprises then that hes single - no job, 37 & lives with his mum.
When I visit him he is always on a raid & has very little time for me while I'm there.
So I re-activated my account for a month just to see if the game still had any interest to me. My friend invited me into his guild which lead me to a raid that night.
I arrived at the raid meeting point then spent 3 hrs waiting on everyone showing up, getting ready etc...
I sat there numb watching everyone floating up & down in levitate spells. It all came back to me in a rush.
It was like watching a film you have seen a million times but never really liked. I found the blank wall next to my monitor more interesting to stare at.
Finally the raid got underway... 10mins later 60+ dead people & a promise of another 3 hr wait while everyone recovers....
I logged off. Deleted the EQ folder, snapped the disks & felt so much better for it.
Never ever ever ever again. NeverQuest.
Guild wars rocked as I could log in play a good game no matter what level I was, then not play it again for months without falling behind my friends so badly that it was a problem.
Guild wars 2 - promises a blend of the original GW & current style MMO's like WOW. Free to play - and most importantly no need to get 30hrs a week in just to be cool.
