killamch89 Posted December 8, 2020 Share Posted December 8, 2020 I remember back in the days, I used to have a bit of an addiction to Champions Online because I was one of the top 5 PVP players so I got into all kinds of interesting fights everyday. To be honest, I enjoyed those times but after a while, the game became really time-consuming. Did you ever have an addiction to online gaming. If so, what was it like?

The Blackangel Posted December 8, 2020 Share Posted December 8, 2020 I’ve tried online gaming several times with several different games. I’ve always hated it. The closest I ever enjoyed was playing Soul Calibur II at the arcade on campus. The machine ranked its top 100 players and I was ranked 6th. In a town with 3 major colleges that add 60k-80k people with 110k permanent residents, that was no small feat. I knew how to use Kilik, and I knew how to use him well. killamch89 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Syntax Posted December 31, 2020 Share Posted December 31, 2020 I think some games are fun once you get into them, but other times taking a break and doing something on your own via a single player game lets you refresh and be able to get back at it. Think the most addictive game I've played was RuneScape as a kid, spent probably 100-300+ hours on my character. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shole Posted December 31, 2020 Share Posted December 31, 2020 I was one of them World of Warcraft addicts lol. Worst part I played only on private servers so it was basically not even worth it. I did play on the official one as well but it kinda ruined my relationship with my ex (not really like because of it, but it was part of it, cuz she got a contraception implant and blamed me for gaming instead of dealing with her mood changes that were x100 due to that implant). So yeah I was addicted for a bit, but I quit it. I kinda miss the guild friendship and such, but oh well I'll find another game to have fun with like that.

Patrik Posted December 31, 2020 Share Posted December 31, 2020 I feel you ( i had the same issue for 5 years ) luckily i managed to curb that addiction and found out how i can manage my time ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Withywarlock Posted December 31, 2020 Share Posted December 31, 2020 I got addicted to Warhammer: Chaos and Conquest, a ripoff of Vikings: War of Clans, which is arguably already a ripoff of the browser game Travian. It practically requires addiction, clicking ever popup to build your stronghold because you can lose everything at a moment's notice in its dog-eat-dog setting. This was only exacerbated by joining a #1 ranked Warband (guild) where one had to move in locked step to the leader's orders, kicking and repeatedly pillaging those who weren't active for any more than 24 hours at a time. The glory was short lived as we massively outranked our enemies, allowing them only to rebuild their forces so we could take pleasure in a slightly more evened playing field, still in our favour. I eventually had to quit as I couldn't keep up with my comrades-in-arms, paying their way to the top where I refused to give any more than £20 in total before I descended into further madness.

Peterlight Posted January 1, 2021 Share Posted January 1, 2021 My parent would never allow me to get addicted to any video games cos there were rules and time frame and that has really helped me upto game. Yes I do spend more time playing my favourite game but when it's time to stop, I stop without anyone counseling me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heatman Posted August 27, 2021 Share Posted August 27, 2021 As far as I'm concerned, human beings are capable of getting addicted to anything once they open up themselves to it. I'm still addicted to playing online football manager games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
