I cannot wait to see the new disclaimers coming out as a result of this one.

What a fuckberry.

God I'm tired of irresponsible jackasses making EQ out to look like the devil.

Lin · 08-29-2003, 08:48 AM

Yes... clearly it was Everrquest's fault.

Mkopec1 · 08-29-2003, 08:51 AM

Why does this make EQ look like the Devil?

I suppose the incident in Michigan last year whaere a mother left her kids in the car on a 90+ degree day while she got her hair done makes the hair salon look bad?

You guys are funny!

GoosseMan · 08-29-2003, 08:51 AM

Man what a shit stain on the face of the earth.

Ham n Cheese · 08-29-2003, 08:55 AM

Mkopec1 are you somehow unaware of all the people who claim EQ is a drug, an addiction, etc. Fuck, the article alone talks about a group called SPOUSESAGAINSTEVERQUEST (join the group btw, golden post in there). Of course it adds to the drama of EQ being an addiction when something like this (irresponsible parent) does something like this.

It's no different from the hair salon woman or any other idiot who lets their child sit in a car and die, but not everyone sees it that way. And I don't know how that didn't dawn as obvious to you.

And you're a retard for jumping right into being critical instead of taking the time to think.

No, you're the funny one!

Yea, but MMORPGS, unlike salons, are a hotter topic for news starved sensationalists. You think they'll focus on the fact the people were just fucking wastes of protein to begin with? America loves it's scapegoats.

Mkopec1 · 08-29-2003, 09:01 AM

So who the fuck cares? You think this is going to abolish EQ in some way?

Does your drug feel threatened? LOL

Heh gratz on totally missing the point. It could have been EQ or fucking minesweeper, the point I was making is that the news will always jump on the "video game induced homicide/infantcide/suicide/genocide" bandwagon and ignore more pressing issues for the sake of ratings and political cocksucking.

Xaen · 08-29-2003, 09:30 AM

I think there is a bit of a difference between EQ and Minesweeper. I also think that games like EQ can become mentally addicting to a certain degree. I don't think anyone can argue that point, honestly. How many in here have complained they've wasted years of their lives playing? How many sit around at work waiting to get off so they can log right in and go level and/or raid? You can get the same effect off amusement park rides and anything else that gives you great thrills in small bursts. And for people who have disorders such as OCD, EQ can become a very dangerous game, IMO .. I'm not going to blame EQ for anything, because like all things, it's a choice to play it or not. But I will say stuff like this can be dangeous to certain people, and I dont think there is any real way to control it, or punish anyone. Darwinism is about the only real thing that can be said about it.

Notes posted under Christina Cordell's name to a computer group called "Spouses Against EverQuest" say her ex-husband's attachment to the game was partly responsible for their divorce and that Cordell felt the game was "addictive."

A message posted on the bulletin board at http://groups.yahoo.com/group/spousesagainsteverquest/ dated May 5 under the name of Christina Cordell says, "I feel sorry that people get wrapped up into this and destroy their relationships. I just hope that one day they will wake up before it's too late and realize they are alone with no real friends and their family is gone."

Talk about irony...

I got your point perfectly clear. But again so fucking what? What else is new?
