Quote From: mejesticI am Donna, and i play EverQuest and i tell you what i think. I been playing for over 4 yrs. EQ helped me though a bad time in mylife. When i had no one to talk to i found one person that did, i meet him in real life after a yr and half, and now he is my light of my life, we got married June 7,2008. I am one of the Guild leaders of one of the Guilds along side him. We do have a life out side the game we work full time, we watch movies and take walks and still play EQ togather and when we have enough we get off and spend time , you got to know when to get off and walk away. In EQ i am Known as Mother of the Shield, and the ones in our guild see me that way. I tell you one of the things i done to help a young girl, she ask me something she didnt know how to handle it. She wanted to know what i though about it. This is what she asked me. She said she knew this guy he wanted to take her to a hotel and she realy didnt want to , she said he was trying to make her go, she has never been with a man. I told her, to follow her heart. if she didnt want too , dont have too, just not ready, DONT!! it is up to you, you have your life for that you need to get your life the way you want it.. And if he cant wait so be it , he not good enough for you.
Then she told me ty Mom i tell him if he dont like it , GET LOST !!
So you see in EQ , good things does happen!!!
Good Post, Donna, you would be someone that I'd prefer as a guildmaster.
To everyone else, the community is the basis of a players gameplay if your community is full of trainers, KSers, ninja looters, and so on; the gameplay is poorer than it would be with few to none players like Donna. I'll allow her to explain the EQ lingo. Sorry, Donna.
I lucked out with my server choice on the PS2 version of Everquest; Mar's Fist did have quite a few people like Donna.
To name a few: Ultimosou, Bissey/I believe Wifey, Evelyn, Caliestya, Igon, Monet, Zoinie, Carelene, Stebbons, Lazlo, Gigaka, Precious, and I know there's others that I forgot their names. (Watch someone's toon's name I forgot will notice this and tease me a bit about it, lol. Sorry my memory isn't perfect).
When you play for a while, you get a pretty good idea on the players personality.
While I'm thinking about it. Would you pickup a guy or gal at a bar, off the train, plane, or etc? If you answered yes, you would have committed picked up someone; you would know even less of than meeting someone from one of these games. It takes a long time to feel comfortable meeting someone from online. Think about it.
