Um... Just how lazy are some people?

[Darkness]

I've heard that before but have never seen anything even remotely close to actual documented cases.

An urban myth perhaps?

It usually is a myth, but there seem to have been a few actual cases of people playing more than their health could take. I recall one in Hong Kong and another in (the PR of) China. IMO there's a slight chance the latter is propaganda, but...

This is why I don't play online games anymore. It's not that I have an additive personality (I don't) but I just feel it's like a neverending struggle to get more "stuff" in the game. I lost a year of life to Diablo 2. Never again.

Give me a good single-player game with a story that I can buy used on ebay, play, finish, and then sell again on ebay, and I'm set.

Um... (...) lazy

I don't get it...I can order a pizza in less than a minute over the phone. But I guess there's people out there that would get a kick over being able to order pizza via a command on EQ2 and use the hell out of it. :\

I'm surprised the command wasn't pizz4.

You can order a pizza from the hut in under a minute? It takes me longer than that just to get through the ads before I'm allowed to actually speak to a person.

Lucky punk.

It isn't the EQII players that developed the ability to do this. I can't imagine many places on the planet where someone would pick up a phone to call for pizza and Pizza Hut would be first choice. It's not pizza, so much as a sponge with ketchup and processed cheese food on top. Pizza Hut is just preying on the imobility of EQII players and praying the phone is on the other side of the room.

I know. I was just refering to the fact that some of the more nerdy players would get a kick out of the function.

Actually, the Pizza Hut here is pretty good as far as delivery pizza goes.

I went to pizzahut.com and attempted to fill out the form to see how long it would take compared to ordering by phone. The site wanted me to login. I didn't feel like registering so does that make me just as lazy?

How is this lazy? You've been able to order pizza on line for ages. And its not like Table Top RPGers haven't ordered pizza for thier games.

Our Pizza Hut down the road is good, not your description. Or are you a "deep dish" or "chicago style" snob?

Utter laziness/stupidity, IMO. For people who are afraid to actually participate in a real vocal exchange of communications with another living human being. Using the phone is faster. Plus in EQ, by the time you finish ordering in the menu which will likely take up the entire screen, you'll have been killed and will need to go an eight-hour corpse run.

I hate EQ. A lot. Not only is it phenomenally boring, it's turned into more of a wallet leech than a entertainment thingy. And my dad's addicted to it. He's either working, sleeping, or playing EQ. GAH! He even sees me playing Wow and says "HOLY CRAP that looks like fun!". I offer him my free trial, and he declines. Somehow. I seriously think there's some kind of subliminal advertising in that 'game'.

Pizza hut near my house is almost good, but strange thing is, they don't deliver to my town. We're literally 10 blocks from the shop, and they don't deliver to us. Blah. It's better to get it from the AUTHENTIC Italian Pizza place up the street. MMMMMMM!
