I was surprised...I don't miss EQ at all like I thought I would when I severed my ties to the game.

I have no idea why I continue to lurk here.

I still play and will most likely continue to play till they shut it down. However, I don't play nearly as much anymore as I did in the past.maybe 3-4 hours every 2-3 days here. :-p

I go in spurts. I'll go one week and play for at least a few hours every day, then the next week I'll play like 1 or 2 days out of the week if at all. When there is something to do in real life, I do that over computer games.

i still play quite a bit. more then 2 less then 5-6 on an average day. i had thoughts about quitting, but i still get OMGIAMRETARDEDCAUSEALOTISTWOWORDS out of the game and somewhat manage my time well. also, considering the time i had put into this it because more then a game, and i want to be around for the end since i was around from early on. kind of a sentimental thing.

I play an 1-2 hours here and there when I don't have anything else to do. I haven't logged a 55+ character on except for farming/buffing in 2-3 months.

Lost interest in 4+ hour raids, and PooP is lame in general. Might change when my bst hits 60, but I doubt it. Not willing to spend the time.

I have a very sporadic play schedule. I'll play 3 out of 5 weeknights on average, for about 3-4 hours each time. On weekends, I almost always play from about 8am till lunch on Saturday and Sunday. Then there are those rare occassions when I can play 12-15 hours non-stop. That's probably once every other month.

In the summertime, my playtime drops off quite a bit. Especially on the weekends. I've never really been "sick" of EQ, but I have taken extended leaves when RL becomes too busy.

I plan on playing EQ until Sony pulls the plug. Over the past couple of months, my GF has been leveling a Necro to play with me, so I forsee the 2 of us playing even more in the future.

HI LOR! I too have left the fold some time ago. I tried to come back once but things have changed so dramaticly. I mean my D'vinn dagger was worthless. Sometimes I regret getting out of the game but that quickly passes.

Whenever there is an argument on here dealing with in game stuff I try not to contribute because I wouldn't know what the hell I was talking about for most of it. These boards are ideal for me to keep in touch with old friends and guildmates. Not to mention how great this place can be as a resource and also how much it makes me laugh at time.

1-2 hours most nights.


I get a 4-5 hour session maybe once a week right now. Frakkin remodeling is eating just about all my spare time.

I play when I have time and remind myself not to force it.

Regnad and I still play 4+ hours a day during the week and 12+ hours on Saturday and Sunday. Regnad takes it real serious yet and has mutliple characters with tradeskills > 200. Can you say addicted? :)

She reminds me that it could be much worse... there are casinos nearby!

I actually picked up again very recently, fairly casual thoigh and my playtime varies a lot due to busy RL schedule, my last break showed me I vastly prefer doing RL stuff over EQ, but I am still getting a lot of fun from the game so I will continue to be around.

I quitted not too long ago but my old friend got me back into wanting to play.

So i bought the game today AGAIN, i think it's the third time now. And will now create a new character on Veeshan again...

Anyone know how long a name lasts? Like if i have a Character level 6 and i delete it. How long till i be able to use the name that character had?

I have lots of time now so i'm hoping to play lots and lots.

Expect to see me more online soon as a new and improved n00b.

I play casually around 2-3 max nights a week at about 4 hour sessions. In the last 2.5 months though I've been playing 5-8 hours a night every night getting caught up in levels. Now I'm back to my casual play style.

BTW reguarding deleting an name being available. I had a druid named Rastan and I wanted my bard to have that name because I had a bard on vazaelle named rastan. I deleted the druid and was able to immediately create my bard named Rastan right away.
