I never play this game but I've lost quite a few 3do buddies over this evil game. The last time I chat with them ( few years back during 3do community board time ) they say they'll be playing Everquest. Now not a word from them anymore ( no email reply no icq reply no nothing ). I wonder what happen to them.

Probably sitting in front of the computer, completely immersed in their new "real" world. The probably have a jug by their chair to pee in, a mini-refrigerator nearby with food and drinks, and a pillow and blanket sitting right next to the chair (so they don't have to go far to do anything except do a number two or take a shower). In fact, they might have their computer and fridge in the bathroom (using the toilet as their chair, that way they don't have to get up from the computer at all). When I was hooked on MUDs, I literally ate out of the vending machines and slept in the computer lab (didn't have my own computer, or they would have been busting down my door to see if I was still alive...). I avoid online games like the plague now, for that very reason (it took failing a semester in college to wake me up).

I hope that you are able to get in touch with them and/or get them away from the game long enough to re-establish relations. I wouldn't count on it, though; I lost most of my real friends during my period of addiction, and had nothing but "virtual friends" by that point.

Oh, you can play the game, you just need to have the self-control not to sit there for hours and hours playing. I generally don't have that kind of control; even with BG2 I'll sometimes stay up later than intended playing. However, you must understand with Everquest you are paying per month to play, so the extra incentive is there to "get your money's worth". At least with most MUDs it was free, or I would have been addicted AND broke.
