I have come to the conclusion that I detest online games. At one point in my life, I felt they were okay. Occasionally fun, sometimes a little time consuming but overall not a big deal if you have self control.
Boy was I wrong! These MMORPG are the biggest time waste I have seen in my life.
I have played different ones in the past and I am able to walk away. I determined that if the first thing I did in the morning was log on to see where my character was, then the game had passed to the "obsession" stage Time to pull the plug!
Here is the deal. My husband has been playing this game online. I won't say the name, but it starts with Tribal . . .s. Anyway, it starts out small with one little village and then it grows into this huge monster of a game that never sleeps, eats, goes to the bathroom or listens to the family.
He wakes up early in the morning to get online and play, he stays up late in the evening to play and he comes home in the daytime to play. I would guess that he spends at least 7 hours per day on this stupid thing. In fact, he has turned down food as well.
I am starting to wish that the computer would just burst into flames. Any ideas out there?

lol thats funny becuase Paul used to be the same way with the Civilization game- there were seriously times that I felt like taking a baseball bat to our tv and thowing his laptop out the window! I know I nagged him about it, which probably escalated the problem- but it seemed like the thing that finally helped was trying to plan activities (going to the park, or something he would enjoy) so that we didnt have so much "down time" at our house- because sometimes I even get bored at home!!! good luck!
