I did the same things your husband done after work game, evenings game, weekends game. I wated 6 months for nothing and i realised it and thought what i acheived in the time absoloutly nothing. Now in my spare time i read more books, play the odd fps, go out more visit thr gym and stay away from mmo's they are a waste of time !<BR/><BR/>P.S sometimes if people have addictive personalities then they could be subsituting mmo's for cigarettes or alcohol ?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6241291.post-1112396854922278442005-04-01T15:07:00.000-08:002005-04-01T15:07:00.000-08:00Regarding "You make many very good points although...Regarding "You make many very good points although I feel that the statements that mark a gaming obsession are a bit broad" (I wasn't reading it carefully enough, sorry).<BR/><BR/>I'm actually not implying that - I'm suggesting that anyone feeling that they may be playing obsessively may likely use one of the above statements to justify / reason they playing. Which doesn't imply the reverse. Hope that clarifies it :)Jhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07924922999762832408noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6241291.post-1112307897663599302005-03-31T14:24:00.000-08:002005-03-31T14:24:00.000-08:00To social hermit: Thanks.

Hope you'll feel comfortable enough to comment whenever you feel like it or even contribute an article or two.. that goes for anyone.<BR/><BR/>To anonymous: Don't feel pathetic. Be proud of yourself for acknowledging the issue and trying to do something about it. Sometimes it takes a while before you find a solution that fits you best. The only advice I have is to not put yourself down and to focus on making yourself happy in this realm... the happier you are here, the less likely you will be tempted to immerse yourself into another world.

You can agree with those but still play for a short amount of time. That being said, I completely understand what you are getting at and you worded it well otherwise. <BR/><BR/>I always stop by this site for 'reality checks' when it comes to gaming so that I never get too serious. <BR/><BR/>I don't play EQ, I play City of Heroes and I almost never go on Task Forces because they are simply too long.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6241291.post-1112239328153701272005-03-30T19:22:00.000-08:002005-03-30T19:22:00.000-08:00I used to play EverQuest obsessively, and now I pl...I used to play EverQuest obsessively, and now I play EverQuest 2 just as obsessively. Since the game came out in November, I've managed to acknowledge my problem a couple of times and quit. But I can't stay away. The other day I started on my third go-round, and after installing the game again I found myself on for 13 hours straight. I stopped playing yet again when I was able to convince myself that the game is boring and repetitive, and that it's not really "fun". But why, then, do I still feel the constant urge to reinstall it yet again? I seriously think that not a single hour of my life goes by that I do not think about this game. I know I have a problem, and I have no idea what to do about it. I feel pathetic.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
