I have no sympathy for ppl who have such addictions. If you choose a game over what really matters in life, well that is your own problem not mine. I do congradulate you on seeming realizing how you have finally realized you have a problem and cancelled your accounts. However I don't feel you need to come to MMORPGs forums n say we all have a problem n should boycott MMOs.

I loath people like you who tries to convince perfect strangers on the internet that they have a "life" and they got total control on their MMO hobby.

Everytime you try to make that point on the internet, you make yourself appear even more a liar.

I could say i play MMOs and Jessica Alba is my girlfriend. How would you proove me wrong?

Of course I've heard of moderation, they're always banning me from forums...

Here I was thinking I was addicted to gaming by spending 1-2 hours a day on my games . Gaming would be the last thing i'd be doing if I had that much disposable income

Since my mmo time has slowed down, I have bought:

Lego Star Wars

GTA4

Spore

The Force Unleashed

Saints Row 2.

Not playing mmo's is costing me money.  Now I'm wanting to go out and buy Fable 2.

I don't get it, it's not the first time i see people with multiple accounts but if you can have 5 to 10 characters with only an account and play on different servers, what's the use of multiple ones? Serious question here, please someone tell me what they are used for?

First of all, some of us have lost our loved ones in this world and have no one. Not everyone is blessed to have a family like you. And I hope you never take that for granted because there are people out there that would love to have a family. Therefore, having no one in the "real world" to turn to, some turn to MMORPGs, to take us out of the real world and the reality of it all, if not for a few hours a day, and get to be part of a family in the game world. And to those people who know what I mean, that means alot.

I really think you should do what is best for you and your own circumstances in your life, whether it be you quit MMORPGs for good or not. But if you do quit, please do not try to encourage others to do the same. Especially when you do not know every single person's circumstance in their life.

Either way, good luck and I wish you all the best!

Seconded, but not only this. What the OP is really proposing - though he surely knows it can't actually happen so he probably hasn't considered the ramifications of being responsible for it happening - is obliterating a pleasure that for some of us is idle fun but for others is pretty essential.

If you think about it, he wants to destroy something that for many people is an important and irreplaceable source for a basic need which they otherwise could not acquire in real life for possibly very justifiable reasons. Can't afford to build or rebuild some aspect of their real lives in terms of either money or time or their present emotional capacity. Kind of rotten of him, isn't it?

Even if you don't need to rely on games for an outlet of any sort, loving a game and having no one to play it with sucks, that that's what would happen if all of us who don't "need" MMOs just quit out of some nonsensical and pointless moral outrage. And some of us (maybe most of us) do go out of our way not just to enjoy the games ourselves but to make them enjoyable for others - just as you might strike up a conversation with someone new at a bar where you are a regular, or in the same way you'd try to make everyone comfortable at a party where you are the host.

On reflection I think the OP's post is fighting words.

Wow, I totally forgot I started this thread....it was meant as a joke, lol

I'm glad you're all so concerned though! <3

EDIT: It's my birthday, WOOOOOOT

Well, I thought about what you guys said and you're right.  I do have a problem, I love gaming.  I resubbed 2 of my WoW accts, and a DAoC account for Tuesdays.  Maybe that will free up some time for other things.  I'll keep you updated.

Let us know how the intervention goes.

Something tells me with all of those accounts, you need a life anyhow.  I can't imagine having more than *1* account to anything.
