I have come back to EQ, but it feels weird. Only twice now have I been on at the same time as James, I had forgotten that Tuesdays are raid night. Raggs said hi to me, but otherwise it feels like I am on mass /ignore by CM. I am in a guild called "Silent Honor", a big guild, but very unstructured, mostly non raiding.
I know what you mean though. I always felt like the tag-along following the uber group (Dheg, Oz, Ozbox, Trav and Varvanya) and didn't always feel like I deserved the gear I got with them. Oz could play his shaman much better than I play mine, as a matter of fact. He is just scary capable. I was happy to have a real life instead of aas, but 700 or 800 aas do make a difference in how a toon is played. Before James started working, I know he had that many aas on Dheg from playing so much.
I have 255 aas, which seems like a lot to a lot of my new guildies, whereas to me it was what I could sneak in between work, cooking, housework, etc.
EQ is actually kind of lonely and I am not sure I will stick with it. I was NEVER alone before. James and I started our toons together, his warrior and my shaman, and we levelled together to low 50s, when he switched to Dheg. And later, I got in groups quite frequently, even though I would get pissed that he often wouldn't hold a spot in the group HE put together when he knew I wanted to play but was busy making OUR dinner.
I watch my roommate play 3 accounts on two towers and 1 laptop and just have to shake my head. That is way too much EQ involvement for me! I group with him sometimes, but mostly he groups with his best friend and they are pretty self sufficient.
I am not sure I have a point to my post, just rambling at this point, I think. I guess it boils down to: Do I really want to be in EQ or not? Right now I don't have a car, I don't have very many social contacts, and I am hoping to feel better for a few hours; whether EQ can do that for me or not remains to be seen.
If you ever want to come down to Dover and go out for tea or ice cream or whatever, my treat. ^_^ Would be nice to meet the person behind the Buki. No pressure. ;-P
