Start treating life as a game. I was a great guild leader (I playes Asherons Call for 3 years, ShadowBane for 2 and WoW for 3), who also was good at making money in the Auction House. I thought, "Well, why not transfer this into real life?" And now I do, and I find it much more fun...for many reasons, but the main reason is because I am now building up myself, as opposed to an on screen avatar. While the leveling isnt as fast, and the loot is harder to come by, the experience is much much richer. I still play games, though its mainly Shmups and Fighters. I do love the experiences I had playing MMOs, but it just doesnt compare to the real life experience. A noise and flash of rainbow colors to indicate level is nothing like when you have the realization of how much better a person you are compared to a time previous!
Balance is the key to it all though. |
