How long since you have played it? I say toss it. Easier to have a clean break.

I don't know how to be sexy. If I catch a girl looking at me and our eyes lock, I panic and open mine wider. Then I lick my lips and rub my genitals. And mouth the words "You're dead."

Haven't looked back at all since playing CoH and SWG.

You've got friends on EQ right? Email them AFTER you delete it. You'll feel horrible if you don't say goodbye after knowing them awhile.

I've been personally contemplating this forever.

This thread made me realize that it IS silly to keep it installed (Especially since texture caching was on after I visited nearly every single zone in existance pre-LoY) for something I'm not gonna play anymore.

Thanks for making this thread, Trill.

Eh. My interest in MMOGs as a whole has been waning a lot lately. I deleted EQ from my computer after I had to quit and I don't really feel all that sad about it.

Especially since those caching files arent even used anymore by the game

I'm quitting eq when I move next month. I'll prolly delete everything but the setting and log files.

If you don't still play, no reason to keep it installed.

Saying you are going to Quit / Delete EQ just means you will be back. Just do it, disappear. It's easier that way.

I didn't mean to quit, really... I just got all busy and couldn't keep up with it anymore...

I could probably swing it now, or until I get a job anyway.

When I deleted it, I gave the CDs to my mom and told her that if I ever asked her for them, to hit me. Many times.

It was easy for me to quite EQ.

All my characters, I took out to a dungeon and ran as far back in as I could get before dying.

Funny how irretreivably losing all your stuff and money at high levels makes the game far less attractive, and going back even less so.


Then I got DAOC and I'm still addicted even though I havent played in about a year.

I 'quit' once just before Kunark.

I quit again when I had someone in the resident uberguild attempt to character assassinate me for looting something I was told by the raid leader to loot (Fucking Blighted Robe!)

I quit again when I moved to BFE Texas and didn't have a stable 'net link.

And then I quit when I handed over account info to a former guild mate and asked that I NOT be allowed to log back in.

I've still got an EQ directory. I randomly log in on one of my old accts to harrass people (all I can do from the work PC... it's not powerful enough for anything else).

As I recall, that doesn't work anymore. There's a graveyard zone where expired bodies can be collected and looted.

I believe in the existance of magic, not because I have seen proof of its existance, but because I refuse to live in a world where it does not exist.

GoD was supposed to introduce a 'Graveyard Zone' that corpses poofed to after 7 days or some shit like that.

Yes, there is a new graveyard "zone" where expired corpses go. PoP graveyards do not hold expired corpses, only corpses of people who have recently died there.

Delete EQ, the way things are going inthe MMO world, its gonna get replaced whether you want it to or not, With EQ2, WoW, CoH, and a few others coming up, EQ will not last much longer, It has lived a long full life by Video game standards, longer then most, but it won't live much longer. This is just something that much happen.
