How many people here play EQ still?

Curious mind wants to know.

I still manage around 40hrs a week, give or take a few depending on the week.

Dexail · Post by **Dexail** » October 14, 2003, 12:44 pm

I probably get between 20-30 hours a week, depending on how busy work is and which football games are playing on Saturdays.

Skogen · Post by **Skogen** » October 14, 2003, 12:46 pm

Once in a blue moon...I last logged on two days ago for the first time in 4 months. I found Skogen to be in level 59 (thanks Denore!), and camped at the disco in Seblis. Thank god a group was there!
I got out of seb, and started running for EJ when I thought "man, I dont have time to run to the PoK book!" SOoI logged of, and painted the master bathroom iof our house instead.

EDIT: Last time I took a long break, I came back and found Legion to be full of people I didn't know..I was all "WTF?" wtf is Winnow? and Voronwe?

I guess I'm retired. Back in like May or so I just didn't feel like logging in one night and one night turned into 5 months. I didn't make a conscious effort to quit or anything, and I still pay for my accounts. When and if the urge strikes me to play again, I'll log on and go for it.

Hasn't happened yet, though.

Mort · Post by **Mort** » October 14, 2003, 1:08 pm

Came back about 3 weeks ago out of an 8 month break.....

Playing 15-25 a week depending on my C&C Zero Hour addiction.

Chidoro · Post by **Chidoro** » October 14, 2003, 1:21 pm

Man, once in a blue moon is 10 hours a week or less? That's two hours a day, five days a week

.

Yep, that's me I guess, certifiable, blue mooner

Ashur · Post by **Ashur** » October 14, 2003, 1:36 pm

I'd say more realistically:

Hardcore
35+ Hours a week (If you're playing more than an average of 5 hours a day, EQ is your social life or if you're working you don't need much sleep)

Heavy
24+ Hours a week (1/7 of your life going to EQ qualifies as heavy in my book)

Regular
Log on every day for a few hours or raid 2-3 times a week

Casual
3+ times a week

Occassionally
1-2 times a week for a few hours

Blue Moon
<1 time a week. Just stoped in to say Hi, or totally bored and had nothing else to do

Retired
Self explanatory. You don't log on.

Seebs · Post by **Seebs** » October 14, 2003, 1:38 pm

Came back after 2.5 years off. I log on most days and have yet to be on any large scale raids. Just want to get my clerc skills back to where I would not be a burden to any group or raid. Almost there.

The 90 minute adventures are a Godsend for casual gamers. I like where Sony is going with this and expect to see much more of this in EQII (though I know you all are heading to WoW).

An Adventure a night .. that's all I ask.

Aabidano · Post by **Aabidano** » October 14, 2003, 1:42 pm

Hour or two here and there when I can't find anything better to do. Beats watching TV. Probably 10-20 hours a week on average.

Lately I'll pharm with LFG on for half an hour or so on the bst, if I don't get any bites I'll log off and find something else to do. Works pretty well for me.

Shaerra · Post by **Shaerra** » October 14, 2003, 1:43 pm

4 Month break. I think I'm gonna come back. I miss Winnow's shenanigans... As usual, I'll start off casual, then end up playing about every day, I'm sure.

ive never announced i was retired but after being in CT for so long, game wasnt the same anymore, havnt logged on in a few months

Abelard · Post by **Abelard** » October 14, 2003, 2:59 pm

hmm if i don't have anything going on in the weekend i'll normally log on for a couple hours and do an adventure or two.

Nneena · Post by **Nneena** » October 14, 2003, 4:18 pm

I am on way to much. Maybe four hours each day during the week and on the weekends-way to much.

Taly · Post by **Taly** » October 14, 2003, 4:26 pm

i play way to much myself 40+

noel · Post by **noel** » October 14, 2003, 4:38 pm

Retired. Playing SWG. Not really anxiously awaiting any other MMOGs, but I will give WoW a look when it comes out.

Tenuvil · Post by **Tenuvil** » October 14, 2003, 4:48 pm

Over the last week or so I have come out of retirement due to {boredom | the fact that SWG sux | LDoN adventures} and have been playing regularly/casually.

Legenae · Post by **Legenae** » October 14, 2003, 5:25 pm

Happily retired from EQ since last Christmas. Only games I'm playing at the moment are on my PS2, since the computer I am using for the time being can't handle anything beyond Solitaire /cry.

Only MMOG that I am waiting for (or will have time for) is WoW.

IeailandDokktur · Post by **IeailandDokktur** » October 14, 2003, 5:41 pm

Wow = not 4me:) Eq will be the only 1 for me.. but idk i might go to Eq2..
gotta think bout it hard..

Tegellan · Post by **Tegellan** » October 14, 2003, 7:38 pm

I still play around 20 hours a week myself, just for the fun and I actually enjoy the game I must admit

valryte · Post by **valryte** » October 14, 2003, 11:17 pm

I still pay for my accounts, but I haven't logged in a long time. I pretty much retired after CT disbanded. I tried sticking around, but after all the years and at my level of play, if I wasn't raiding, EQ was pointless. And no, you'll never see Valryte on ebay...

Rivera Bladestrike · October 14, 2003, 11:40 pm

Quit three times, now retired for good. No other online games are in my collection atm, Madden 2004 occupies my gaming time.

Laliana · Post by **Laliana** » October 15, 2003, 12:01 am

Even though I've cut back quite a bit on my playtime in the past 4-6 months, I still manage around 20 hours a week.

BTW...I miss you Sylvus (and a couple more un-named that don't play much these days).

Ooga[foh] · Post by **Ooga[foh]** » October 15, 2003, 1:31 am

Haven't played in a while.

Personally I think the game eats a phat dick because of its forced time sinks and investments.

Currently kicking ass in eve online and loving it. However, I am ready for L2 US Beta (Korean Beta was hella fun imo).

Spang · Post by **Spang** » October 15, 2003, 2:04 am

um, 10 to 12 hours a day if not working and on work days, hmmmm, 6 hours /shrug

i play a lot

Badpassion Seelentrinker · October 15, 2003, 4:55 am

Hardcore I would say this describes me

Btw still missing my Sheisser P

Gemily · Post by **Gemily** » October 15, 2003, 8:56 am

Phugg_Innay · Post by **Phugg_Innay** » October 15, 2003, 1:29 pm

I quit Cold Turkey the day before FF San Fran. For me it was a choice of Family. I'm a single dad , and was sinking WAY too much time in game. Dont get me wrong I have been Jonesing lately watching some aquatances play , but NOPE Not gonna do it, wouldnt be prudent. My son comes FIRST (even though he is a lil shit just like me). Thats it , simple and to the point.

Shaerra · Post by **Shaerra** » October 15, 2003, 2:59 pm

Seems like a lot of people are dismissing WoW, but I'm very interested in seeing the finished product. I don't pretend to know any sekrit details, but the short video clip I saw looked cool...

But first I need to figure out what this charm is that people are talking about for the old PoP flags...

Sionistic · Post by **Sionistic** » October 15, 2003, 6:11 pm

Watched my friend play for a bit, was amazed how empty eq looked now with all the people in dungeons. I hope theres things worth getting in WOW that wont be instanced or else it might start getting dull.

Mezzmor · Post by **Mezzmor** » October 16, 2003, 1:27 pm

Quit 9 months ago, still experiencing withdrawals and desperately, madly want to play again.

I am finishing my masters degree and started my own business as well as teaching part time for cash - I have made myself a promise that as soon as I am making the income goal I set for myself, I will play again.

Kilrain · Post by **Kilrain** » October 20, 2003, 3:01 am

Definately a blue moon player now... logged in 3 times in the past two to three months, generally just to say hi or because I was bored shitless. Basically, Kilrain is retired but I still keep my accounts up to date... just in case.

It was one hell of a ride but eventually everything has to come to an end.

Krynne · Post by **Krynne** » October 22, 2003, 1:21 am

Fuck that Killer... you'll be back!
