MMORPGs can ruin your life.

It sickens me that there is a need for that disclaimer at the start.

Oh yeah they can become very addictive.

[Kain Highwind]

People who have a tendancy towards addiction shouldn't play games.

This is true. Gaming can be as addictive as smoking or taking drugs. I have tried smoking, didn't like it and didn't start, but that's besides the point.

Only those who have the willpower to avoid addiction should play games.

Personally, I have never played an MMORPG(nevermind not fully know what it stood for apart from the ORPG part). I have wanted to try one, but haven't at the same time, in case I can't be active enough to satisfy other people's needs.

I'm caring at heart *cough from distant place*

Massive Multiplayer Online Role Playing Game.

I just don't see the intrigue in playing a game over the internet, I mean, come on, the internet is far from being anything but a waste of time.

Really, then why are we here?? *leaves*

Assuming you are looking to the internet as a source of information, to find out about something, maybe a school project, maybe just keen interest.

But find out about something you must.

You go to yahoo/google, and type "Violence in the 60s"

And the chances are you'll get;

-A site with links to other sites (which may or may not help you)

-A site with mediocre information, usually repeating what you already know

-An unrelated site

-A porn site

-Some idiot's livejournal

Infact the only way I find anything on the internet is through sheer luck (coupled with hours of searching).

[Seiryu]

Ah, but it has some use.

Without Google, I'd've never found this site. Which would have been truly devastating for everyone.

Truly.......
