Read the whole thing b4 u go nuts, this was on everlore about 4 months ago also the guy had PROBLEMS not EQs fault, read the whole thing

If it wasnt EQ, it would have been DnD, if it wasnt DnD, it would have been a girl, if it wasn't a girl it would have been a job..

People with problems always have something that drives them too it...

Then the parents always seem to find something to point the finger at so they can push the blame away from themselves..

Its sad what happened, but thousands of people kill themselves every year, and to start running around blaming all the outside circumstances in their lives for their decision is stupid and pointless.

I agree trump, they cant just blaim eq cause he was addicted, he was sick with all those diseases and shit too

Much more enjoyable article. The CNN article was a bit dry, this one has all sorts of humorous undertones.

This guy is in bad shape, just look at the photo, he isn't even shaving... its obvious he has emotional problems and it was way before the game.

[Qman]

It's quit obvious that the man was manic depressive, with a touch of bi-polar. If you are experiencing seizures, AND serious depression... Hay dios mio! But don't you just love the fact that he got away with having a character named ILUVYOU?;)

Why don't they just come out with a group called MAAE? Mothers Against Anything and Everything.

Parents like her are the problem... To worried with what everyone else thinks, and not worried enough about the upbringing of their children.

Don't Listen to me i'm just a huge failure at life and i should go and hang myself!! NO JOKE!

The more things change, the more they stay the same, The more things stay the same, the more I go insane

That is just waaaaaaaay to damn funny of a story!

Yes, EQ is addictive and can ruin parts of your life, they coded the game for adolesences(10-20 year olds).

If you have nothing else in the world to pull you back from EQ even slightly.....ie....going out and gettin layed would be one thing, then EQ gets depressing FAST.........

1.) Unless you join a guild (depend on others) you will NEVER see a dragon nor will you see any of the high end zones.

2.) Alot of people would like to role-play their characters BUT you simply cannot...PERIOD no arguements! Well if you bought an EBAY account with all char slots filled with 50th level characters you could RP.

3.) Verant doesn't post stats on anything, so you have a feeling of uselessness if you don't have the BEST equipment. How long do you think a group would put up with a 40th level warrior in bronze dual wielding Langseaxs....especially in Velious where battles are long and drawn out. Not talking about items stats, more along the lines of usage of the items and what other factors come into play, so you can try to be the best you can be. Haste pertentages, they give NO CLUE as to WTF is going on with damage...(50damage 50delay = not a fucking thing because you'll still hit for 1 damage at times.....but why? Did I drop the sword on the mob's wart growing off its pinky toe?)

4.) Totally F'ed up vender system, and they still haven't adjusted the prices yet....like OM-MFG! Vender bought equipment should be expensive but not totally out-FN-ragous.

5.) Screwed up level increases! ie...... Char vs. Mob

__________Level________Power_______Loot_______C2M
CHARs 1-20 nice gain 1-0n-1

MOBs 1-20 good gain slight increase


__________Level________Power_______Loot_______C2M
CHARs 21-40 small gain(hp benefit) 2/6-on-1

MOBs 21-40 huge increase barely noticable


__________Level________Power_______Loot_______C2M
CHARs 41-51 small gain 2/30-on-1

MOBs 41-49 vast increase some but rare


__________Level________Power_______Loot_______C2M
CHARs 52-60 good gain 2/60+on-1

MOBs 52-65 near invulnerable small random

NOTE: above doesn't encompass Special NPC encounters

I hate fuckers who blame everything on somebody else.

I bet she sues for 'emotional damages,' too..

[Shawn319]
