trust me, you won't get into anything as heavily as you did WoW to fill that void. Honostly, if you ask me (someone who was also once addicted to MMORPG's) - you need to stop playing. period. you are devoting way to much of your time and life to a virtual reality world that is not benefiting you in any way in the real world. In fact, i doubt it's even that much fun for you anymore wether you realize it or not. I know this isn't what you want to hear, and i doubt you will take my advice, but life was not meant to be spent playing video games 4 hours a night and building up your character. You are wasting your time, money, and in all likelyhood your mental state, health, and well-being are taking a hit as well. If you play as much as you do you probably have a good character and could sell it for a few hundred dollars on eBay or SA Mart or something. Do that. Please. Uninstall the game and get back to reality.

Old Carbuncle posted:Do you have the same attitude towards other peoples hobbies? Such as someone who builds ships inside tiny glass bottles, or paints? It's not a hobby for this guy anymore. When you're spending 4 hours a night and have COMMITMENTS in a virtual world that are straining relationships and your well-being, it's no longer a hobby. the problem with MMORPG's is that far too many people can't manage themselves and restrict it to being a hobby. It becomes an obsession. After awhile it's no longer enjoyable, trust me. There are also health effects associated with WoW that arn't prevalent in other hobbies. I doubt your grandfather in the prime of his life spent 4 hours a night widdling wood and neglecting your grandmother. Your grandfather also has something to show for his time - he is working on a craft, using his hands and relaxing. People who build models or ships in bottles are also finding a way to wind down and relax. WoW is more stressful than you think. It's very competitive and goal oriented. The only thing you're learning is the game itself. Judging by your tone, you're probably the one who needs to get a grip, for your own good.

BullProofMonk posted:You seem biased against this game since it is an MMO. I don't think you are a good source to be telling anyone what they should or shouldn't do with their time, due to this bias. is this a joke? or are you just a troll/idiot? I am giving a guy advice based on my personal expierience with MMO's. I have gone down a path very similar to the OP's and realized everything i've told him in this thread after it was too late for me. But yeah, i'm totally biased and have no idea what is going on. He should ignore all of my sound advice about doing something other than gaming for four hours every night of the week while neglecting his girlfriend, social life, and well being. I'm going to go with the whole 'you're an idiot' thing. meatlock fucked around with this message at 22:21 on Mar 16, 2007 |
