needless to say, I played the fuck out of it.
Gaming addiction is a real problem. I think it's Finland or Sweden (?) where it's officially recognized and dealt with more seriously. Here in the US I think it's lumped up with a million other addictions all under the same term. The problem is there's no organized approach to address it in the US.

I wonder if someday we'll have to be 18+ to game? Remember at one time during the medieval ages people of all ages drank almost exclusively alcohol because water would become contaminated. Don't think just because kids game it's always remain that way. If it's a real threat it'll eventually be restricted.

I doubt it, though I can see your point. I've been lurking over on Twitch and the amount of 10-17 year olds streaming is definitely going up.

As with anything else (food, alcohol, etc) its just about having some self discipline and taking it all in moderation...maybe that's what needs to be reinforced.

As EQ players, we'll perhaps always struggle in the winter months [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

grats you made like less than 150 dollars in over a month playing a video game, just imagine how much money you could've made if you worked all of those hours instead of playing D3.
