Heed this warning kids - never play this game when drunk

I used to play a game which had an achievement for getting something like on one character 1,337,000 XP without a single death.

One day I logged into that character while very drunk because I was convinced I could finish the achievement that night (I was very close). My guild leader threatened to kick me out the guild and report me for abuse to get me banned if I didn't switch characters immediately, before leaving the 'safe zone'. To this day I'm glad she did.

Was this in Guild Wars 1 by any chance?

It was. And partially thanks to my guild leader I managed to not only get the survivor title but all 3 protector titles without dying. Never been brave enough to go for guardian (hard mode) though.

Kids shouldn't drink in the first place.

Unless it's about teaching them for their future in ESO 2.

Well, technically kids can drink under adult supervision with their guardian's consent (at least in the N.I, not sure about elsewhere)

It's the same in the UK. But ideally in that situation the guardian would stop them getting drunk, and making stupid drunken decisions.

Jeez, it's like being 15 again having to explain my actions to my parents. Suppose it does fit in with the title though, so fair do's.

haha I wasn't saying it in a judgmental way, merely curious about how you were able to play and purchase while that intoxicated...I've always been one of those people who can remain on point (mostly) until the point of passing out though.

And when you have crowns saved up.

Basically just realised I bought all this last night

The black fiery horse mount
Jester suit
Daedric Motif
Mount speed lesson x1
Stealthy Rogues pack

That's around 6000 crowns down the pan and I'll probably not even use most of them. Felt so good buying this at the time, now regretting it. Hahaha

Back a long time ago when we started playing wow, we decided to play a drinking game. We were level 20 I think at the time, I woke up logged in and was naked, noggenfoggered, in gnomeragon with all the flight points from stranglethorn all the way to the north lol.

This thread is pretty awesome. Thanks for the laugh @Prof_Bawbag

I must admit that I have played this game drunk numerous times. My guild has occasional events that revolve around getting drunk in one way or another (there are rules around when you have to drink), and they're always great fun. I particularly enjoyed the naked drunken dolmen punching event, where we all ran around with nothing equipped except for our guild tabards and punched things to death at dolmens.

I've also done a couple of vet dungeons when I had definitely had a few too many drinks to really be doing that type of content, but I was talked into it by a guildie.

Thus far I've never spent any crowns when drunk though...

I'm a fan of drunken gaming. I've never bought anything in ESO, but I have in other games.

I once respecced while drunk, thank the gods for the ability to respec morphs, which I had to do the next day to clean up things I thought would be fun to try.

Late night after either Halloween or Thanksgiving (don't remember which) a guild group was well lubricated. We decided to run some vet dungeons, and everybody could only use 4 skills, voted on by the rest of the group. I was allowed talons and inner fire, and I don't remember the others. The healer wasn't allowed to use bol, springs or mutagen. We died a lot, and laughed until it was hard to breathe. Was great fun until I aggroed the lady who told me to "shut up and go to bed".

I disagree. That's how my guild got started (during a drunken rage back in the beta days).

@UrQuan That sounds hilarious - the naked dolmen thing is something I'm going to have to try next weekend.

@Reverb I also respecced to God knows what. I also noticed my hoard of soul gems had taken a hammering too. Needless to say my skill set-up wasn't 'optimal' over the weekend.

As long as we're not bothering others, nothing beats drunk gaming.

I've spent far too much time playing this game after a drink or three.
