Hi. I want to discuss about those games which makes your really addicted like many MMO's,shooters,etc... I'm really addicted to MapleStory,its free to play MMORPG. In the summer i was 16/24 online,making levels,trading,etc. I used the internet only for this game and MapleStory related sites. I was only sleeping to be able to play again next day. When summer finished i had no problems in school but i was used to go to bed in like 6 o'clock...in the morning. So i couldn't be able to study well. Now its the second part of the school year and i'm better in school. But i still play MapleStory (not this week,video driver is damaged) but not so much time...only like 3-4 hours a day.Is it bad if i play so much...by the way i have good grades and even go to contests for maths! I cannot consider myself as nolifer,just my life(fun things i do) are in MapleStory.Its my better life-not so boring and hard like school. So is addicting really bad or i can live with it?
Huh, I'm addicted to Tribal wars and Trivian, when I do play, Maplestory can be a real addicting thing, any platformer game I own has it's breif times where it's the only thing I play, that's really it for me
You know, you are eventually going to quit(even if it takes years). Then you will look back and think, "why did i waste all those hours of my life on a game that wil get me nowhere?" and then you think of an answer...
I agree with you rumen, some games can be very addicting when it's about summer, so you can go non-stop if there isn't a plan or event on the next day, but when it comes to school, it is very hard maintaining yourself. As if you couldn't avoid the temptation of MapleStory, but the punishment will be your grades, I too have experience that, now I am one of the topnotchers in our class but they insult me as a nerd, everyone can be a nerd if they studied hard anyway! But, it was good that you shared your experienced.
