I'm awake a little later than usual this evening for no reason really, but I just finished reading this great article on Everquest addiction called "I Kept Playing". Anyone who has known me for around 10 years (which isn't many of you) knew how much I got into this game. This article really hit home for me. I didn't quit my job and I managed to keep my girlfriend (now wife), but a lot of what this guy wrote sounded way too familiar. I worked with a lot of the people who played with me, so when I was working that's what I talked about, what I thought about, and what I researched. It did take up a lot of study time in college. I totally understand where he was talking about the people online depending on you and worry about you if you missed a few days. This is one reason I haven't started in on WoW (World of Warcraft) because I know how addicted I got to Everquest. Great Read!
