Just like to chip in my view of this being a waste of time, but first it is worth giving some background information: I played this game for a good 5 years, it gave me something to drive towards, a goal. I quit in 2008, since then I spent the next 3 years playing a different game on console. However I am now at university studying law, consistently putting in 60-80 hour weeks through a combination of study and part time work, put simply I have no time to play any games. As such I just stalk this thread, and have done so for the past year. When looking back on the 5 years that many would recall as 'wasted', I actually enjoyed myself, I learnt skills, my attitudes changed and I socialised. If you have the opportunity to focus your efforts on a game (or any other form of leisure), take it, in the future the chance may not come again. However, you must acknowledge when its your time to move on, if it is preventing you from a career aspiration, or a social aspiration you need to move on. Something I live my life by is the quote 'You are either money-rich, time poor or time-poor, money rich.' You just have to choose which better suits your personality. OT: Although I have nowhere near enough time, it's interesting to watch those who do can strive towards a goal I was so far away. I also happened to know drumgun, in a time whereby he lived by cw, with a relatively high hunting rank - it's quite strange to see someone so high up in the leader boards. (Castle war legends if you happen to read this).
