I'm sorry there is just no way I'm going through that again, I don't see how you are still at it. I was really hoping they fixed eq up to be less time consuming.
Eitherway, Guild Wars is pretty damn fun. Sure it is by no means EQ2, but it saves you the expense of monthly fees and a crack addiction. The PvP is killer, too. It gives you the equal satisfaction of kicking someones ass irl. When's your birthday, I'll send you a copy to come hang out.
You want to know what addiction is? I now wake up at 6am every single day so that I can be on by 7am to raid. I usually get about 3 to 4 hours of sleep a night. I've become so used to this amount of sleep that I'm not any more tired than I would be otherwise. Welcome to EQ2!
