In high school I'd stay up until 4am playing Diablo. I almost flunked my freshman year in college playing Starcraft. I almost flunked my Sophomore year in college playing Diablo II. Now it's WoW. <BR/><BR/>The underlying appeal of an online game is that you can take achieve difficult tasks - and gain social acceptance and praise - with 0 risk. What's going to happen to you if your raid wipes? Nothing in real life. But the internal human reward system is chemically fed by virtual success in the same way it's fed by real-life success.. only without the risk. and that's the hook. Look at online social networks. Same thing. Friendship without risks. If you screw up, create a new character, hide behind your avatar. You can project your fantasies on that character whose attributes are completely at your disposal. <BR/><BR/>One of the most uniquely fundamental human needs is to feel important. Online all it takes is time, and a negligible amount of ingenuity, and you'll finally become the big badass you never were in high school. But it does feed that human need and feeds it well, so it can't be all bad.. Or is it?<BR/><BR/>Instead of developing our own true selves, we neglect our problems at the expense of our most precious asset. Time. This creates a personal stasis, a lack of personal growth, and the slow destruction of our relationship with the non-virtual world. <BR/><BR/>It does appeal to the absurdist in me though. Life IMO has no intrinsic purpose, and our only true goal as humans is to have a heart that is at peace. Fun, laughter, achievement, singularity, these are all things that are possible online. And why are those any different than "real-world" achievements? How can we distinguish the online world from the real world? They both exist and thus they are both real. Think "The Matrix" here.<BR/><BR/>It all comes down to this: will you truly be content with your life if by the end of it, your crowning achievement is a few lvl 70s in tier 6 and no. 1 on your server? Will that bring you the peace you desire?<BR/><BR/>Honestly, I don't know the answer to that. Only you do.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4128106123581312370.post-25646954033355658512007-05-16T12:30:00.000-04:002007-05-16T12:30:00.000-04:00I know what you are talking about as well with the...I know what you are talking about as well with the need to play. It was WoW for me as well, no other game in my life had such a stranglehold on my every thought as that game did.<BR/><BR/>It was the hardest thing I did when I let my subscription expire and never look back, but I am much happier now and can say I don't feel the same way I do about lotro as I did about WoW.<BR/><BR/>There isn't the pressure for another level, I enjoy myself completely and just have fun.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4128106123581312370.post-84255592885814608172007-05-12T18:11:00.000-04:002007-05-12T18:11:00.000-04:00I can identify with gaming addiction, considering ...I can identify with gaming addiction, considering we were both addicted at concurrent times and had similar if not identical goals. I don't regret putting down WoW, and I don't plan on picking it back up in the near future.<BR/><BR/>I often felt like my schedule was revolving around the game, and would miss out on potentially fun activities to play because I had grown to love the color purple.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
