Since then I work alot more, I am more productive. But I must admit there is a sadness by giving up MMO. I do miss it, I miss the people I met and played with for so many years.
Even once in a while I miss the run through the Karana's and waiting at the spires to goto Luclin all the way killing the Sea Furies in Ocean Of Tears.
Temple Of Veeshan, Plane Of Sky, and Plane of Hate Raids all the way to leading raids into Plane Of Earth.
SO many memories, so much of my life, 4 years. It was a way of living, truly I miss it and it really does hurt sometimes to remember all the times I had.

Ah.. the memories. I played for 3-4 years myself. Back before the expansions drained the game. I remember the good old days of Freemont, and when your computer would almost crash because so many people were in their sellign their wares.
When you could go into, or around any bank in the game, and pretty much buy what you needed, had to actually be friendly to get the ports, and shit you needed, and those long ass mother fucking hikes from one end of the globe to the other. Shitting your pants running through the one forest between commons, and highkeep, as well as those fucking boats that dumped you half the time on the way to overthere. The spectre, and orce trains in desert.. ah yes.. hours wasted.
But then.. the expansions killed the game off. You made the world so big that people were spread all over, and you could actually go through the old popular areas, and be one of 3-4 people in the zone. You had the bazaar where you could go and buy just about anything, so you rarely had to earn anything anymore. Use one of your high levels to buy everything for your super noob. You had people logging on 2-3 characters at once, and twinking, or power leveling characters to 50 in a week or two.
Oh,.. and I can't forget the tweens. When you got all the young punks coming on a year or two ago, made it hardly worth playing anymore. Between the trains, and all the other bullshit became a game of tattle tale, and people trying to get one another killed.

Everquest feels like it was hacked together. WoW is seamless and very smooth. The fighting and crafting is more COMPLEX in Everquest 2, but more ENJOYABLE in WoW.

I've never played WOW but I've heard a lot of good things about it. Sadly or not, I have do not have time for such games anymore. I can't sit on some game for 8-16 hours a day just to get the next level, or whatever else. I cancelled my membership to EQ last year, and not suprisingly get a lot more work done. Luckily, after the first 2 years, I mainly only played Friday nights, and maybe a little Sunday. But when you first get on these types of games, you are addicted like crack. Back in the day I know many people, including myself referred to it as EverCrack since it was so addicting you had people calling in to work to play.
