If the only reason you and your brother talk to each other is because you
are both in EQ than you have a serious relationship problem. You could chat
in e-mail or ICQ but you say you dont have the time. For your own brother?
Yet you go ingame and use it like a chat room, doing nothing but sending
messages back and forth. You can't tell me you are in Sol B fighting
whatever while you chat with him. I've tried carrying on conversations while
fighting and it doesn't work real well. So you sit in game and chat but you
have no time to sit out of game and chat. With your own family..... That
doesnt make EQ more than a game, just a game with a chat feature......
