Heh. I know it's addictive. I've seen the worst EQ can do to a person and it isn't pretty.

Much as I hate to put this down, I suppose some explanation is neccessary after that:

A friend of mine started playing EQ after she was made redundant and was soon playing 20 hours a day. Sleep deprivation quickly lead to some quite serious psychological problems.

She's a little better now and has managed to find a new job, but she is far from the person she was this time last year.
