Official Good-Bye

[Soulfreer65]

My subscription expired and I will not be renewing. Although I never Official made it into Walkers most of my friends are here.

The biggest part is it is no longer challenging. I can only spend a couple hours at a time a couple times a week. To get on and feel like like I have accomplished something, even if it is just to de-stress from the day, has not happened recently. I see no reason to believe that it will change anytime soon as my time on will only be getting less for the next few months.

To all of you, Thank You.

I, generally, had fun while I played EQ over the 2 and a half years despite SOE. The last litttle while I felt more like a paying software tester than a subscriber and that is not right in my books. I do not feel EQ is for the casual gamer anymore.


Best of Luck to you all.

Awwwwwwww Soul I will saddly miss you .. But if you ever feel the need to come back and be all evil and want to hang veksar with Lovely I am always here. Getting to know you was a pleasure and had tons of fun with you. Take care of yourself and be good lol. Sometimes people just dont have intrest in the game no more and dew to RL it can make it hard to play. But if you ever come back give me a yell.

I don't know if EQ ever was for the casual gamer. It's a game that requires a massive time commitment for progress that seems to grow exponentially as one achieves higher levels.

Everyone fondly remembers the early levels and experiences such as entering Crushbone or an LDON dungeon for the first time.

I think the point where SOE went overboard was in turning POT access into something which can take months or years for regular gamers to achieve. I think SOE wanted to make something that would keep players in the game for a while, but that was just rediculous.

I recently did the math of what spells from level 65 to 70 would cost me. Looks like about a quarter million plat -Anothing thing which is prohibitive to casual gamers. If I don't dish out the plat, I know it'll take months to get the necessary runes. On the upside, I suppose that will boost the economy though, and I like the new OOW armors and items.

All in all, EQ is still the most entertaining game I know of and my preferred way to relax from lifestress. I recently gave all of my other games away because I don't play them anymore.

I probably average about 2-3 hours per day. I've seen a lot of other casual gamers citing the same issues as yourself. It's a real downer when you hit that point in the game where it seems to be a requirement to be an extreme devote to get anywhere.

Put out a post if you find something else you really like.

Dan, we've had such "headcases" in the guild before, and they remain good friends with many of us, and have the respect of many more of us. I know the comment was likely meant tongue in cheek, but it's probably not an appropriate derail in a goodbye thread.
