Aside from all the cursing i agree. What ever decissions you make, can not be blamed on anyone but your self... at least i think thats what he was trying to say.
It seems to me the writer of this is the one with issues with Sony. I've been playing EverQuest for almost two years now, and in no way has it "consumed" my life. I'll admit that Sony's customer service isn't what it used to be, and it has never been what it should have, but I didn't start playing EverQuest for the customer service.
Obviously the writer of this played EverQuest for a while, got screwed over in one way or another and because he him self was "addicted", or just too damn lazy to get out of the house and find a new game, he got pissed.
I get an extremely large amount of entertainment out of EverQuest, just because I can talk to cool people and play the game with them. 12.95$ a month, I agree is kind of ridicules but at least I can play a game where people don't accuse you of being a cheater every half second, and the jerks are the minority.
The writer of this STORY is an angry person, the type of angry person that one might call a jack ass. If some one was to not play EverQuest then they might assume that the essay was correct, I know better though.
It's unfortunate that some of the stuff described in the essay does sometimes happen but it is not an accurate representation of the majority of the people, and the GM's that make EverQuest such an entertaining game. The fact that people get angry, for one reason or another, when they play EverQuest could be said about any other game, but aside from that if you have a problem with a game, or the people in a game then don't go writing essays just to hear your self talk. Shut the hell up and don't bitch about it to any one that will listen, because if you do that then you're just as bad as the people who ruined the game for you in the first place.
