As much fun as I had at times I honestly regret playing the game, It basically took over my life.
It was my first MMO, In the start I was in awe at how sweet the game was and I was just having fun doing whatever, But that quickly turned into a race to make the best character and have the best gear. I knew how MMO's worked, The fact that they are designed to keep you playing as long as possible, But I just ignored it. Soon enough I become one of the most well equipped characters on the server.
No matter what sweet item I got it was never enough, I just needed more. No longer was I having fun, It was just an arms race to be the best.
The game effected my real life alot, Dragged down my grades in college. I cant tell you how many times I ignored my freinds calls just because id rather play the game than do anything with them. Or said fuck it I will study in the morning just to play WoW that night, Just to end up hitting the snooze bar in the morning so I only had a few hours to study for that final.
Hell it even dragged me away from posting here at Q3W.
Some people can play these games little bits at a time, I tried cutting back, But it was just all or nothing, You have to spend so much time to get anything rewarding done.
So hopefully I will get into a FPS or something, Something not so time consuming and addictive. Played some D3 ROE with that Doomer noob and it was a riot, So maybe ill start playing that some.
Maybe when I get some cash flow I will pickup Guild Wars, Doesnt seem to be as time consuming and the PvP looks to be more fun.
Boy was I a fool
Anyways I just had to get that off my chest, Havent made a rant in awhile, Been so consumed with that WoW gayme.
