I Agree
Well i know exactly what u are talking about for the last 5 months i have found out what a social life really is and i love it. I am currently a senior in highschool and i havent played everquest since june and i have to say i do miss it and i did play addictively. i started about 4 years ago on this game and found it to be very entertaining i then progressed in the game where both me and my brother played i think that for the most part my mom hated this game.
She hated the fact that me and my brother would spend hours at a time playing this and stay up till 5am on school nights playing it. It did affect my school grades but i kept i did manage a 3.1 average which isnt bad. But over the years i realized i came home and sat in front of the computer instead of going outside and playing with other kids. I think that people find the social life in the game better than real life because u arent judged on how u look and what u wear. Me and my brother played the game our whole highschool live and managed to keep it a secrete from our mother whether it was having our grandmother pay the bills or turning off the computer when she walked in the room but as time went on we became smarter and found ways to play while she was in the next room, Now that i have my life back and havent touched the game i find it very enjoyable although i wouldnt mind playing from tome to time i now realize how it really affected me and what is out there in the world.
