Hmm... probably most of you ever played in at least one title of MMORPG. I`m
personally playing Word of Warcraft and have my own private (for friends only,
dont ask about accounts Ragnarok
server. But thats not the point... i want ask about what influence on your real
life have the fact that you actually playing online games? Is it joust for fun,
or is it your lifestyle... I`ve seen many ppl on my "online
adventures", so i know pretty well that for many players games are like a
drug. what do you think ?
i dunno. i can play a lot of mmorpg games and all, but i can do all my normal
stuff and fit in everything else, and it's not my top priority either.
there was this one stage where whenever i didn't play it, i felt like i was
missing out on somehing and i had to keep playing. but i'm over it.
yeah i think everyone has a similar moment in his life...but...you know... some
ppl dont have any problems with it after that...and some do...and i must admit
most of them do... blah... this is all wrong :/
Indeed it is tru that MMORPG's games are addictive but that's only because for
the 1st time you are introduce to it that the whole concept of the game get's to
you. But as for everyday life, I try to put in as much time away from RO and
keep in tack with my life. I wouldnt say it's more like my lifestyle but it's
something to get me away from the real world, intro a gamer and plus you meet
new people and have fun at the same time.
I play World of Warcraft (Malgov server) with my fiance and a bunch of the guys
from work but I could throw it away if I needed to.
I got into MMORPGs years ago when they were still MUDDs and have come back to
them a couple times since in order to save money. If you have the machine to
handle it once you buy the game the monthly charge is pretty cheap compared to
what I would be spending on books (prefer hardcovers), anime and paintballing.
"We believe that most people play video games for a form of mindless
escape," the report states. "The most popular video games are almost
all single-player games, player vs. console, and allow the player to remove
himself from a social environment. In these games, the player can act out
fantasies of power (in shooter games), often playing the 'bad' guy and playing
to win. MMORPGs are just the opposite, a highly social interactive experience.
... The level of social interaction involved in MMORPGs is inconsistent with the
goal of mindless escape sought by most of the U.S. audience." from Wedbush

I agree with him, I've played a lot of MMORPGs but like every other game the
lose their shine after a few months. For sure I can live without it and they
have a minor impact in my life.
But you know... this is interesting... cause from the other hand the comunity
from online games as the time pass want to meet together live... meetings,
conventions, lan-parties, expo`s... it is a good way to meet somebody and to
make a "real" point of view on the ppl youre playing with virtually
most of the time :>.
Not to mention: a month ago i organised a small meeting for the ppl from
manga&anime, RPG games, and... World of Warcraft fandoms and communities.
And you know what? 350 ppl from all sides of Poland came to spend a great time
together... this is a good side of online games... dont you think ? :>
MMOs are really addictive and entertaining. ;x I just love the idea of
customizing a character and watching it grow. I play them alot, but I know when
to put them aside... at least I think I do. Haha. Right now I'm trying to patch
FFXI at 7AM, so. Maybe I'm a little obsessed. Haha.
