Just points out how these online games can be social life wreckers!

I could write pages on why I hate online games, but I won't!

Suffice to say a mate just cancelled his Final Fantasy Online account after 9 months because everytime I went to see him he was playing it and his wife and me was getting sick of it. He looked at how much time he'd spent online and it was 5 out of the 9 months! That's 150 days or 3,600 HOURS or 6.25 hours/day!

Now that's either addiction, or compulsion due to having to pay each month to play!

Sad thing is now him and one of his kids are playing WOW, and he's just as bad so his wife is back to square one and I don't bother going round as often now, so it's affected my social life too and I don't play the damn thing!

I played Asheron's Call for over 2000 hours and I thought that was bad. Oh, but that was over 3 years.

That's why I wanted to find an off line way of playing these games. I would love to play but don't want to be hooked by other people.

I think this should be moved to general gaming

Having said that, I have just canceled my subscription and upgraded my Cable TV channels (I used to get 1-26 now it is 1-78).. I think it's more entertaining watch TV and use the weather channel, sci-fi channel, history channel, etc..

But yeah, I am definately off the game (Last login was February 17, 2005)
We will see.

I was previously hooked on Magic: The Gathering, and Pirates. But those were not even PC games, still same concept of endless money and my very low willpower

Good luck to all addicts of everything

So have you got the shakes yet? Are you using game patches all over your body (like the nicotine ones for smokers)?
