You know you play EQ too much when ... (resurrected!)

[Mnemosyne]

I went over a friend's house last night to hang out in real life instead of hanging out in game. We pulled out her old tarot cards for fun and laid out a spread. I looked down at her cards and noticed she had quite a few Major Arc. cards in the 8 card spread and said (and I can't believe I said it outloud) "Wow, look at all those Named cards." She looked at me and answered: (all seriously) "I wonder if they drop the phat lewt, or just my fortune." /sigh I think I'm going to be taking longer than just a week off from this game. :roll:

Can y'all imagine what kind of kids Lilosh would have and their personalities? I mean, he DOES do Tech Support at a help desk.

Yah Garga.... you lost me at 'wife went out of her way to buy something for you without knowing why'.... was funny until you went all science fiction there.

That coupled with the rarity of 'dots' and the absurd lengths needed to go to to acquire them shows that your post was entirely made up.

Sorry, a bit tired... and I have no clue what a stack of Dots is, and I've played the game almost a year, hehe.

forgot to read this thread for a while. Anyhow, dots are indeed slang for peridots. and the other dots are the candy ones on paper. They are pretty horrible. Wal-mart apparently carries them though since my wife found them there.

I say "sigh" more than I actually sigh now, and frequently say "laugh" (although I've so far avoided saying "laugh out loud"). Camp, nuke, and loot have found their way into common vocabulary, as have most "action" words. They just apply so nicely to RL, where other words fit but not so cleanly.

The peridot abbrevation dot confused me for a long time ... kept wondering why the cleric was talking about Damage over Time Eventually caught on though ... I've heard them referred to as peri's a handful of times, but at least on Tunare that's a rare abbreviation. I call them "peridohs" as well, but still call the abbreviation "dots" ... doesn't make much sense, but oh well.

The primary way EQ has invaded my consciousness is Gate. My main is a melee, but I have a number of caster alts. When I'm sleepy and thinking about a trip or on a trip, and dreading the length, I've actually thought 'At least I'll only have to go one way, I can gate back' (occasionally altered to 'Do I have gate (on this char)? Then I can just gate back which would make this so much better'). Really sucks when I wake up enough to realize I can't gate, or when I try to actually remember HOW to gate and remember this is life, not EQ.

When you are working on a group project and someone says "Write down we are looking for people with the most money." And you write down "We are looking for the people with the most Plat." :shock:

Your Magelo Profile looks like this.

[EnfinitiStarr8]

You know you play it too much when...

~you are typeing a paper and your group mate says people with a lot of money and you write people with a lot of Plat.

~you start seeing your friend's name about there heads with "guild tags" saying friend, co-worker, classmate...

~you want to send your friend a /tell using a cell phone.

Oh, and Moonlilly, that's nothing, check out this one....

I only care about the size of the disclaimer when you're adding to a research thread. For fun, do as thou wilt, provided you don't break the rules.

Getting a munchie out of the vending machine at work....and noticing that it's number is C3....

Looking at a personalized license plate and thinking of it as a "guildtag"...

Yeah, I have my moments too :roll:

One of our accounts at the answering service had a note that the person taking the company phone calls after hours on their cell phone was planning on being OUT OF RANGE that evening.

For a split second, I tried to right-click their name and /con them to see if they were out of range...

Bah, I hate when my EQ habits and my work habits cross...
