Top Ten reasons why I quit EQ. in order:
1. Patches: "We are tuning x, y and z in the next patch. ER, we are NOT
tuning x or y, but we are removing item q from the game. ER, we are NOT NOT
tuning x and y, and q will NOT be removed from the game. ER, in the next
patch there may or may not be some changes. BTW, we sure are glad you all
pay by credit card."
2. Trades: " YAY! After 2 months level 25! Time to try some alchemy. What?
It's broken? Ah well, at least I still have Rogue poison to look forward
to."
3. Class manipulation: "I started out as an Magician, but after 5 months of
patches I'm now playing a fire breathing skunk with a pet bat."
4. Magic-item placement: "What? You've been waiting 20 hours for
Jboots/Rubicite? Well expect to wait 20 more days, I just dialed 911 on
guildsay and our 50 wiz is coming to outfit our whole clan. Hope you don't
mind."
5. The "cooperation" illusion: "Hey guys it's great to be co-operatin' with
yall in a good group. This is how the game should be played. Now let's go
steal that spawn from the other group. too bad they aren't PVP!"
6. Disconnections: "Yeah I was almost level 50 but got disconnected. When
I logged back in I was over lava and fell in."
7. Dumb ass players: "Sorry you died buddy. but I thought DDing that Ice
Giant was a better idea than healing you."
8. Crazy travel times: "You're where? Ok, I'll meet you in 2 hours. I have
to run from Kaladim, I'm way overweight, I just missed the boat, and that
damn Druid wouldn't SOW me."
9. Overcrowding: "This spawn is ours, that spawn is theirs and those guys
have that other spawn. but if you want to wait, there is a group after those
guys you can be after if their friends don't show up first."
10. Immature players: "Hey fuk u dweb I saw it first you didn't it's mine
no get lost b4 I paatition u."
2 BONUS reasons:
11. Lack of strategy: "Ok, we're all buffed up and ready to go. Joe you do
the zig here, Biff you zag there and I'll do the ol' one-two over thataway.
When the timing is just right we'll all. wait. LOOKOUT! Another newbie with
a train! ACK! <all dead>."
12. Everything is real-time: Girlfriend: "Honey the house is on fire, an
asteroid is on a collision course with the earth, and the phone is for you.
can you take it?" Boyfriend: "Sorry dear, I can't leave now or I'll die and
lose 10 hours of game time."
