The Divine Reapers (custom/LEGIT) 99% uptime / 5 server network

Nevertheless, I would never be able to take the time to grind out to level 50, 60, 65, etc again. It took me a year just to hit 60. I don't want it to take that long again. I think that might go for most EQ vets who have already gotten to that level, and are just playing to relive the experience.

To sum it up, 60 in 2 days is a no no. But IMO it shouldn't take the full amount of time either.

We already have a player that plays 2 hours approx per day that has hit level 35 on our server using the hotzones we are providing. The hotzones btw are again live like offering 2x exp. When you start on a new server thats setup to be live like, there is a progression sense that you play with, its not about really reliving EQ, but actually reliving the progression, waking the sleeper etc - Progression.

OMG! I was trying to end it but.. Lal, I can't believe that *anyone* actually believes that "stuff". I never insinuated that you think Sony is non-profit. No idea where you got that. You didn't read clearly a word I wrote.

Playing in hot zones is both limiting and boring. You'd never see the rest of the game.

Accomplishment. Right. Anyone who needs a feeling of accomplishment needs to do it real life, not in front of a monitor in a game where nothing exists except ones and zeroes.

Sony doesn't give a rat's behind if a player plays or not as long as they get those monthlies, right. But if they *do* play, keep it slow and painstaking so that people will let themselves be convinced as you have.

Idealism is great, but if you don't temper it with some realism, you're setting yourself up for some rude awakenings.

So I'm guessing your mom and dad didn't make you do chores to earn your allowances? They just gave it to you? No, I doubt it, most parents go through this ritual to seed the respect for that money in the child's head, to teach them it its not easy to get, and must be respected as such. Most of us has prob often heard this as "learning the value of a dollar".

Exp should be the same, period.

Exactly, you're guessing. You have no idea about my life. Making assumptions about such things regarding anyone will expose your own limited insight.

In my day, parents didn't bribe kids into doing their chores. You did them and it was your *responsibility* to get them done. It was called building character and learning to be responsible, and it worked. You learned the value of a dollar from a *job* (mowing lawns in the neighborhood, paper route, etc). You did a good job and you got a sense of accomplishment from that, not from taking twice or three times longer than it should to get it done. If you got an allowance at all, it was just that; an allowance, not payment for services rendered.

Really, let's leave it alone now.

No; money = time period. Thats the point parents teach their kids either by making them get a JOB™ (ie chores, independant work etc) to learn the value of the dollar. Upon learning that value, you realize that money=time, no two ways about it.

Therein and thereby doing so you "program" this in your head by valuing that money you earn. The harder it is to earn, the more you respect it.

I'm 47 years old. I know what it was like growing up on a farm, working for your dad for free/underpaid (like in tobbacco for 25 cents per hour) until he finally decides hes old enough to just give you the farm (no I didn't want the stinking farm =P).

I can drop it there if you wish.

So what do you get out of lying? You're either lying here or on your profile, stating you're 26 there. No doubt the egg on your face is dripping while you rush to rationalize and change your profile. Or will you just try to save face by claiming it's someone else's account? lol I won't presume to speak for anyone else, but to me you just sent you're believability down the tubes. Shame on you.

Looks like a great place to drop it to me. lol

oh, and from your profile:
