Looking to Interview Players
You can beg all you want /grin. I don't think that it is the game that is the problem. The problem is self-esteem for the one woman. The day you see someone go into DTs from EQ, you can talk to me about it being an addiction. These people play too much for other reasons (insecurity, mental problems, withdrawal). If they were not hiding in EQ they would be hiding elsewhere.

I beg to differ. I know people who let their house go, play from the time they get home from work til the time they go to bed, and their small children live there knowing they come second to a video game. Another person I know is a huge lady. She tells me that she loves EQ and spends all her free time there because where else can she be beautiful and skinny. She has children too. I keep hearing about how they get up to go to bed and find their kids asleep on the floor near their computer desk and they didn’t even realize the children were there.
It is sad. And I think this happens far more than people will admit.
I think it is a true addiction for some.

The addiction is a fallacy, like saying you are addicted to shopping. People just enjoy spending time with thier friends, like kids that forget to come home for dinner.

I am writing a story about adult video game playing for a national
magazine. I would like to talk to some addicted EverQuest
players. If you would like to be included in the story please e-mail
me (at nrothbaum@...) as soon as possible, since I am
working on a very tight deadline.
Thank you for all your help,
-Noah Rothbaum
