Anyone play everquest? - GoFuckYourself.com

If so what's the best starting class/race. For instance are magic users much more or less powerful than fighters or is it quite well balanced?

Nothing worse than playing a game for hours to sort of find you fucked it up at the start.

Starting the game is fucking it up.

Do you really do so well right now that you can give up the huge portion of your life that a game like EQ will take from you?

I have friends that play Dark Age of Camelot.. a lot.

One of them has something like 50 or 60 days of played between his characters, in under a year.

Yes, that's 50-60 24 hour periods of play. Think of what he could have done with that time.

I spent far less playing, and I still felt guilty.

Quiet might be able to do it, and some of the others on this board, but I sure couldn't.

Cheers,
Backov

I've got the PS2 beta sitting here and I haven't touched it since it arrived about a month ago. I'm afraid that I might get sucked in and not get anything done for weeks. I tend to get quite involved in these kind of things.

I do Ok enough to find a few hours here and there when I want a break from the mundane stuff

Played it a long while ago and don't find it addictive enough to worry too much. Makes a fun diversion but as I've only ever played it on a small scale I've always been unsure what makes a good character class in that game. I certainly don't have the time to try them all.

The classes are balanced pretty well -- there's no real power difference. Play what's fun for you.

But gnomes are the coolest.

Ah, good old Evercrack...my husband was looking at it when we were at Hastings yesterday, and I told him to go ahead and buy it...but if he got addicted to that crap, I'd cut his dick off.

He left it on the shelf.
