Everquest is just a way of facilitating a need that some people have to feel control in their live, through power or acceptance or accomplishment, even if it doesn't apply to the real world. Addiction to it requires that one need it. But I still blame cokeheads and coke dealers for the coke problems. One has a problem, and the other facilitates it and transforms it into another problem for profit.
This place really is like rehab. I don't NEED to play EQ anymore, because my obsessive characteristics can be quenched faster with emu. If I MUST kill Cazic, I'll slaughter him in a moment's notice. If I NEED to solo a zone, I can do it here, and the need passes without 14 hours of feeling guilty.
