Hmmm... Powergaming, Ive never understood that.. You only understand 1/10 of the games true potential. Not my cup of tea, I prefer the depth of involving yourself in an inticate story.

I guess the differences showed when I played EQ. When everyone else was powerleveling and twinking characters, I was running around doing quests, getting excited when I replaced my 7/30 1 hander with a 7/28 one, or finishing a quest I had been working on.

Hmm, maybe D&D is nerdy, but personally, I'd consider anyone that spends 16 hours a day with his ass planted in front of a computer monitor while he tries to get uberloot much more of a nerd than a guy that gets together with 6 of his friends, drinks beer, talks about girls, and plays a serious game that requires imagination and innovative thinking. Personal preference. Computers, even NWN with its innovation are only a pale shadow of how much fun a real Roleplaying sessions can be.

I don't think most EQ powergamers have 6 friends, so actually playing a real RP game is probably out of the question... LOL

I respect your opinion Ariak, but your probably way in the minority here.

And REAL DND requires lots of skill and imagination, much more than a computer game ever will. Even the most advanced computer games are nothing but an incomplete imitation for the glory that is a true Role Playing game. I'd prefer to be quick with my mind rather than quick with my finger.

EVERPONG

OMFG. SO TRUE. MORE HIGHLIGHTS OF THE DAY :D

LOL... Sorry if I flamed a bit on that one, though I must say I made sure to not direct it at anyone personally. (but anyone who wants to get personally pissed off if they fit the category is welcome to do so).

I try really hard not to bash what other people enjoy doing, but I'll damn sure return a bashing when they make rash generalizations about my stuff...LOL..

Amen Trumpcard.... I have a good imagination.. And there will ALWAYS be more things to do in your mind... Than a piece of hardware :) And theres NO point to power gaming... I remember in eq... I was happy about getting 2 Langsaxs for my warrior at level 20.... at 20 my warrior was using 2 Langsaxs and full banded, but I was proud, because I didnt use some UbAh character and camp some camp for 24 hours to get UbAh gear for my level one... and I did it all myself... I even MADE the banded LOL..... its much more fun that way... maybe your not a pro ass kicker (excuse the language) but... at least you dont need UbAh gear to have fun in eq... just a few of my thoughts
