i am with you on EQ. i tried it and just could NOT get into it. which
sucks, because i really like the idea of how they keep expanding the world..
that is really cool.. altho i also agree that it sucks that you have to pay
for the games plus the monthly fee. i eventually said to myself (like in
june) "if i haven't actually had fun in this game by the end of august, i am
cancelling my account." lo and behold, i no longer have an account. :-) i
need my games to have a story, and i just couldn't find that in EQ. the
best they could come up with (several times over) was "oh, a new continent
was discovered, buy this expansion pack to see it!"
