I could not agree more. I had a great time within the game and actually met people that I am still friend with outside the game. Every year a group of us would get together from all over the place. One of our guys would fly in from Australia even.

I am not sure there will ever be anything close to EQ for me. It really was so unique at the time. I tried WoW but after playing EQ the rush was not there in WoW for me. The sheer sense of fear I had going on some raids or into some zones was what got me hooked.

At the end I was only playing like 5 to 6 hours a day and had started to work out becuase I got fat. I met my wife to be at the gym and it was better to spend time with her. Always thought I might go back at some point then we had two kids and playing with them is far more important than a video game.

so real life kicked video game's ass?

LOL. I always thought Fear was by far the worst. We handled Hate pretty well and owned the Maestro and Innoruk over and over.

Fear we always seemed to get wiped out at least once and the corpse recovery after entering took to long. I played a Necro and Cleric so my Necro was always on summon duty while my cleric was rezzing. I loved two boxing it made it more of a challenge.

That it did, as well it should. Plus a game ain't putting out like a real life woman! :LOL:

The legend had it that OmahaChief would go to the ONLINE store and order a hat for his woman everyday of the week because he knew how much his wife loved hats. When he passed the found a bunch of hats still in the boxes he hadn't yet given her.

Everquest 2. Ran a guild for five years. Logged in when I got home from work and all day on weekends.

:LOL:

I used to log tons of hours on Duke Nukem 3D and Microsoft Golf 3.0 back in the day.

In Golf, I played in leagues and tournaments for 2-3 years running. I even qualified for the online version of the Ryder Cup team.

The only other game that I've played over multiple years is COD 2. I still logon and play from time to time.

Sadly, probably World of War Crack. Its the only mmo ive played. Don't play it anymore though.

yep, and when you logged off for the night you felt as if you were going to miss something when you were asleep!

Man, everyone in the guild had everyones phone numbers for when epic weapons mobs popped. I dont know how many times my phone rang because Ragefire spawned at 4 in the morning and had to kill it for cleric rez weapon.

Best time for me was when everyone would rush to Kael Drakkel to kill the Avatar of War Cycle and King Tormax. lol Sometimes you had like 3-4 guilds rushing for the Blade of Carnage.

My friend always took the warrior. The wizard was lame and you're right - no one wanted to be the Valkyrie. So I was always the elf. It was easy to burn through a roll of quarters in a night. :doh!:

FF7

It's prob a tie between GTA 3 San Andreas, Tecmo Super Bowl, or Mario64
