Are you currently addicted to any MMORPG's? If so you are like me. I am currently addicted to ffxi. I know its bad for me and I know I should stop but its so hard too just quit. I've been playing the game on and off now for about 3.5 years and still no where near completed what I want to do in the Game. They keep releasing new expansions so you can never keep up unless you have an active community(clan/linkshell) which do the events you want because the end game experience is mainly dependent on having large groups of people(18+). This can be a problem when your online playtime differs so much because you play on a server with people from different sides of the globe so pretty much you dont get much done with out 18+ people there at the same time with the same goals.

We've seen the reports on TV, Internet and news papers about these kind of addiction being so bad. I know I should quit or atleast cut down on playtiime and not let it ruin my life but I guess the reason I keep playing is because I dont want to lose the friends I have made online and give up on a game that I've invested so much time in. There is still things in game I want to do but its so hard and not easily achieved. I have been addicted to alcohol, cigeretes and drugs(weed) before but I've managed to quit. I used to be very active before and now I hardly go for walks. I guess thats what addiction can do to you if you dont find help.

I am still playing, my subscription is still on, I dont know for sure when I will make the final decision and quit once and for all. I was planning to take a break at the end of june but this big event was planned so I am sticking around for anaother month...

I used to be sooo into runescape. It feels bad to be addicted to something thats not productive, huh? I got addicted to guitar (which I'm PROUD of) and stopped playing MMORPGs completely. I don't even think about it. You should just look into things like singing, dancing, reading, writing, just try to develop something that seems ridiculous.

Although I still suggest guitar... Or bass guitar. It's SO easy to find a band when youre a bassist because there's such a shortage!!!! You should seriously consider just looking at second hand instruments in your area for sale.

Good luck. Just maybe try to break all the rules (its fun!) and you might get frozen. You'll be heartbroken, but you'll be super cool for being able to do that =3
