| There's a short article in the latest Playboy (insert 'oh-you-read-the-articles' joke here) about EverQuest and people who play it. I haven't tried these games myself - and after hearing these comments and reading the article, I'm almost afraid to. The PB article talks about 'Grief Players' - trolls who play just to wreck other players' games - and for some junkies, that's wrecking their whole lives. In particular, it talks about an uber-junkie named Shawn Wooley who eventually shot himself - in REAL life. There's another short article about Shawn at this URL: http://www.geekshelter.com/view.php?...news&idnum=366

| Anyone played Ultima Online? It's actually pretty fun. I wonder if they'll ever bring that to Mac as well...

| Heh heh heh... I was an Everquest player on PC for quite a while. Fortunately, I never got "sucked in," as a lot of my pals did. Granted, the game rocks. It's the coolest game I've ever played. I was a Lord in a new guild, and had the coolest, hippest, most badass gnomish enchanter. But, I ran out of time. I was one of the lucky ones with control. Regardless, you can read about SOE's plans for Everquest on Macs at http://everquest.station.sony.com/mac/ . It'll be here soon, and the good news is that they're starting it fresh - so those of us who have been playing on PC can't bully up the poor Mac users. Regardless...I expect the game to be breathtaking on Mac as well, and encourage everyone to give it a shot. Hopefully they don't go and apply Apple software prices to it...  |

| I don't like these online games... only because of the potential addicting incentive it can cause... I have lost a friend over one of these games... and if that friend is not careful he or she will lose their wife... or husband... (Won't give any solid information on his/her identity... out of respect still for them...)
