I am an MMO Junky, I am not afraid to admit it.
Ever since I got started playing Final Fantasy XI, I have been hooked. I am what they call “hardcore” player, although the terms hardcore and casual are so fucking nebulous that they could mean virtually anything at this point. I am not going to regurgitate that debate, because frankly the whole discussion is pointless.
But I know I am a “hardcore” player, I play World of Warcraft daily, and usually for at least two-three hours at a time, with vastly increased play time on the weekends. I have at least ten alts that are around level 20 and some as high as 49 to 60. I still get out and do normal real-life stuff on occasion but I spend a great deal of time gaming. But when I am not gaming I am usually reading up about other games, aspects of gaming, and guild stuff. I guess in some small way, gaming is a large part of my life at this point in time. (more…)
