Recovery from MMORPG addiction..
-
Hi guys.. i jus recovered from addiction to an MMORPG, and should i reveal the name here it was World of Warcraft.. been addicted to games like counterstrike and frozen throne before bout 2 years back then, till this
Well it all started bout 3 months ago, when i got introduced to it by friend.. the game's was quite fun, jus wanted try it at first
, as usual we have a different character classes to choose from, and also warcraft 3 races (i was a warcraft 3 fan )
I played bout 2-3 hrs a day at the start, and tot i could manage it that way.. Well i think i was wrong then :], i jus got more addicted to it the more i levelled up, and it was on my mind alot of time even when i logged out,
..
Sad to say the 'average' gaming slowly developed into full-pitch addiction, and i was playing for 8 hrs a day almost non-stop during weekends, and bout 4 hrs during normal school periods, though i have a slightly busy schedule from 3rd year polytechnic
It affected my revision progress at start, and slowly as weeks pass i found myself not contributing enough for group project works, firstly i couldnt do much research, and weirdly, I also found it hard to concentrate, or even think creatively well to contribute ideas after gaming continuously everyday for long hours.. It grew till a point where i had to skip classes to complete my project tasks, and ended up being disliked by project mates.. lol for being a 'floater' most of time, lack in schwork, also prepared last min for impt assessments in sch.. Well i do noe tat comp game addiction is bad but its hard to control sometimes, especially for ppl like me who are repeat addicters
I've finally removed all games from my laptop now, by formatting everything, thx partly to a virus infection too glad to say tat on the right course again, tho bit late to work hard for remaining studies, well comp games has basically affected almost the whole of my poly life, jus wanna share with everyone my experience
Does anyone have any.. similar experience of addiction to comp games or MMORPGS has somehow affected our lives tat we could share and talk bout? -
I HAVE to log into Puzzle Pirates like EVERYDAY, to check the exchange rate of doubloons.
-

If not, GET BACK IN AND GET UR T3 SET BEFORE COMING OUT TO TALK!! -

-

I've stopped playing Maple for now... cos my school term started liao. Must study...
Simple. Don't want to fail, then don't play.
By the way, does anyone knows any MMORPG besides Maple, WOW, AuditionC, Utopia...
I need a list of them so I can play them during my study term break. -

i used to be addicted to maple (HAHA). but then i told myself that mmorpg never end... and soon i got bored with maple and later on i got bored with most computer games in general.

-
I play warcraft 3 frozen throne standard game
and i can say im hardcore i stay up till 5am to wait for tournament to start because u know US West the time zone is different. -
I wasn't really into MMORPGs.
Was once slightly addicted to Counter-Strike, but I brought myself out of my stupid sleep when I owned a guy using USP and him using AK.
My thoughts then? "Walao. You play so much until so pro liao. Stop playing!" -
-
i find that that i can be more creative after a gaming session with my pals
-
I think the people you play with in WoW are important too
We have always emphasized alot on RL taking over precedence over WoW
So people with exams etc are usually shooed out of raid
For a non-hardcore guild I think we are doing pretty well
We don't have raiding quotas to meet etc and don't /gkick if you have to leave the game for a month or so
Still going on strong since the release of the game.
It's really relaxing now. We don't do any new instances and just continue to farm BWL due to BC round the corner. -
