Addicted

[Ducky_Inc]

Hi,

 

 

 

I recently got Maxed Melee, and the pressure of getting "Better" is scary.

 

Currently with a total level of 1900+, i hope to reach #1 someday.

 

 

 

I play 4 hours a day, more on weekends.

 

Ofcourse i work irl, 7 hours a day.

 

 

 

Is this normal?

 

 

 

I dont have a girlfriend anymore (Broke up 3 months ago, not in love anymore). Got lots of friends, but they do alot of MMORPG's also, i see them enough. Dont do any sports (But i look very good, i really dont need it). And there is 0% party's here.

 

 

 

Any advice? Idk...

 

Thanks all

more nerdy then me.... (only 1 hr on weeknds only...)

 

 

 

but nope

You're just a classic nerd like the rest of us :P

 

 

 

It's perfectly normal, from a physcological standpoint:

 

 

 

You are one of the best at Runescape, so you feel superior, only wanting to be more dominant.

 

 

 

Don't worry, as long as you aren't in a dark basement all day, get horrible acne, don't shower, and get obese (reference from WOW episode of southpark :) ), then you're fine.

I've seen people who play more than you :|

 

Don't worry, the high levels always play alot :roll:

Jagex said in a recent BBC interview that the average member plays 23 hours per week. You can gauge your own level of addiction from this lol.

 

 

 

I'm an average gamer myself logging about 20-25 hours per week.

You're surprising me there, I tought I was a LOT more addict than the majority of people, while doing 18-20 hours...

~Just stay healthy, keep up your real-life obligations, and in your free time, i don't see why you shouldn't be able to play.~

 

 

 

~To Harrington --> Wow, i though it was a LOT lower, i only get in around 15...~

[Italian5kamikaze]

If you have to ask, your probably are.

[Star_Fox]

i wouldnt call 4 hours of computer every day addicted.

 

 

 

your pretty normal and you did say you have a lot of friends so your social status should be just fine.

[Bac_Talan]

You probably have a moderate level of addiction.. But don't we all?

 

 

 

(28-35 hours/week is definitely addicted in a way)

 

 

 

 

 

Personally, my parents are really chewing me out about my RuneScape addiction. I play about 10 hours/week at the most..

 

 

 

I think you should cut down a bit.. Get to where your real life is bigger than your RuneScape life, at least. Then you'll probably be fine.

I suggest spending more time with your friends, social contact is always nice. Keep playing Runescape as much as you feel you want to but be sure to diversify some of your activities. (like I said, get together with friends etc.)

Hi i think is quite normal, but about sport i just want to ask how much you old ? you look good but if you don't do sports - effects will begins from something like 26 years of old (fat & etc..), when you young you don't feel it yet just ;)

[primadog]

in psychology, one of the basic tenants of gauging a mental disturbance is whether the condition negatively affect your life.

 

 

 

Looking at what you wrote, no.

 

 

 

However, if you begin to feel unhappy about the time you spent in RS, perhaps start looking for other activities to invest your time in. I am sure you can find something more interesting than RS in RL. Best of luck!

I play 3 hours a night all week

 

Although I'm still at school it doesn't seem to get in the way of any work

 

Weekends I can play up to 7 hours :shock:

 

You'll keep on playing and playing until you come to a point like I did this summer where you stop and think,

 

 

 

"What gain am I getting from this" and you'll slowly fall away from runescape and get bored of contiuously doing the same thing on RuneScape, then you'll take a month or so break.

 

Then you'll find you really have nothing else to do

 

And you'll log back in just to check out how things are

 

Then instantly you'll be hooked again once you've realised you've still got unfinished targets

 

 

 

 

 

Aggh the good life of MMORPG's :D

 

 

 

Best of luck,

I playe like 6 hours+ a day....

 

 

 

1 day i played like 15 hours :shock:

 

 

 

Then the other day, i havent played nothing :

[mrmyk]

I play under the average amount during school time but during holidays I can go waaayyy over that if i'm bored :P.

 

 

 

All I can say is, sports aren't there to make you look good. They're there to have fun so perhaps playing some will be beneficial :).
