damn that sucks dude. I hope everything gets sorted out for ya. I played EQ once for like two weeks and gave up on it cause it sucks up so much of your time for nothing!

Take his internet access away and say its down for now, I dont know how to stop an EQ addiction.

Good luck!

kinda reminds me of when i'd skip school alot. Me and my buddies would get up like we were going to school, go somewhere and have breakfast or see a movie ect, then we'd go back home and chill out all day when our parents left for work. olol good times~~~

:)

sry about your brother lee ;0 im sure he'll be fine. One day he will relize how much he's fucking up and then get his shit together.

Holy shit. I've always heard that some EQ addictions can be bad, but that's plain fucked up. I can't really give any advice, but I agree with a lot of other folks in here. Get rid of EQ, perhaps some pyschiatric help, etc...

Good luck.

install a keylogger like "starr" and log his password and delete the account :o

Oh yeah, if you have to do something like delete his account or something similar, be careful. I hope I'm not being too dramatic, but if what you described is really his situation, he might pull some shit. Shit that could hurt himself or you.

2 reasons I'm not going to start EverQuest:

1. stupid monthly bill, no salary to compensate.

2. I'm trying to pull my grades up so I can get into a good school. The last thing I need is another addiction.

i was headed that way with Diablo 2. i'd skip school, ditch people, even skipped a date with someone who i later found wanted me so fucking bad...which is odd, especially if you look at me. i missed so much shit because of Diablo 2. now i dont play it as often. i play it maybe once every few months and i plan on giving my account away. know how i broke my habit?

I LOST MY COMPUTER FOR 5 MONTHS!

take his computer away for a few months, or at least the reqs needed for EQ (Ram, vid card, etc)

plus you should try to make a deal with a really really really easy girl. if he doesnt play EQ for a few months, she'll give him a fuck. it'll work

well, much of my advice has already been said by swede (hay luvr :naughty:) so all i can say is good luck lee, helping to get rid of addiction (with anything) is a tough battle.
