Way too true...unfortunately:)
This, contrary to the guy who says people who play MRPG's or MMRPG'S(Which are the same, but more longer and boring after awhile) don't believe they are in a real setting, when they actually do. It's like CRACK, but legal(Quote from How to Make a Monster.).
The gaming industry makes 5 billion on gamers in the U.S. each year alone, not to mention the 1+ billion more that is spent on online gaming.
To put it into perspective, the DEA estimates drug sales of crack and cocaine in the U.S. to be slightly nearly 4 billion each year.
This means we are all addicted to gaming crack:).
I've known RPG's online where the game runners punished players in game if they talked OOC(Out of Character), even if it was habitual to you to talk that way, and no one else minded. And they had thre gall to label anyone who talked this way a HERETIC to the land or some such.
Don;'t even get me started on other games, like STAR WARS:GALAXIES. Now there's a great idea, put a bunch of star cracked crazies on a server to see who has the force with them the most. As if they don't get enough of that while passing out drunk while dressed as wookies at role playing conventions.
I do play online once in a while, but I do know it's a game, only play 2 times a week or less, and I never cuss another out for what I know is my fault. Life is too crapped up as it is, then to bring your garbage life into a virtual one and make it less crappy...albeit in a different way.
The truth is OUT THERE, in the real world, and not on a screen.:p. Also, the sims is another game people took way too seriously. Here you have people controlling other people, and watchingg them kill others, rob stores, make out, undress(Eww:)), etc. Sounds like the players of the sims have a slaver complex inside them. Maybe they roleplayed as jabba's slavemasters in SW:Galaxies for a time as well. Lol.
