There are plenty of servers out there where your lack of a life and ability to sit at a keyboard 24/7 are rewarded. For the rest of us, removing pointless time sinks is appreciated. Some people log in to a game to actually play it, not sit & stare and call that "hardcore."

That's exactly what I thought vid games were for. The whole "MMO" concept of EQ has went in a different direction
on many servers, since soloing has become more popular. In my own opinion, I personally think of modern EQ as an
Online Single Player game now, where one player can logon and play the game without the need for a population to
progress in the game. Of course, having other players to talk to while you do your own thing could be an individual
preference as well. I've seen some players leave their toons sitting around in the "hub", or wherever, which makes
sense, if they leave them logged on while at work, etc., if the server supports the /afk thing, but if they are sitting
at their puter doing nothing for a few hours or more, then no, I would not understand that, lol
