Re: The MMO and the Military
Did 4 years in the Marine Corps myself, even though I was a winger (worked on a Marine Corps flightline) we would still get deployed to train in Arizona, California, or anywhere else imaginable for months at a time. Mostly we stayed in tents with no electricity and usually very cold showers. I was playing the early stages of EQ 1 at the time and this left me behind in a lot of ways. Around 5 days after I got the Velious expansion, I got sent on temporary duty to a joint task force in Alaska for 6 months. I really feel for those who are serving in war time and like MMOs, it is really hard to get any freetime whatsoever, nevermind trying to keep up with whats happening in gaming.
Wonderful article Melchizedek, even if you are on the darkside.....
