Played Everquest from late '98 (when it was in beta) until this year, then sold off all my stuff for around nine grand. Now I am out of the MMORPG scene; just ate up too much time. After, what, 7.5 years, I realized you could spend your entire life playing RPGs, and at the end of your life, you wouldn't have accomplished anything worthwhile. Still, it was a nice cash-out for me, but I ain't getting sucked into any more.
