I guess you can enjoy playing them as long as you keep business and real life seperated from e-pleasure.

making friends over the world You can't have completly lost your friends to it. Try and imbrace it. My friends got me into it and they play it way more than I do but they don't let it rule their lives

I used to play FFXI, it was pretty fun, but althought I made lots of new friends online, I got pretty fat from playing it. I had to lose like 30lbs after quitting, it was ridiculous. The game didn't really take over any of our lives necessarily, but it slowly drained away our execise/sports/work out time. It's one of those things you have to do at least once, to truly understand what's it's like to be a fat person... i really cherish my ability to run around without weasing now...

Online games are funn, espically when u annoy other people while playing nothing really good comes out of it, its just somethin u do on ur sparetime and i agree keep with reality or youll miss out on alot of things and lose alot of friends..

well me and my friend have talked about how addicting online games are.
for example i got this friend and his dad is adicted to these games (take time off work just to play them). and since he has been sitting and playing them so much he now has a blood clot in his leg.
and i've also heard of ppl killin other people over things like sword and stuff in the game. and ppl comiting suicide cause some1 hacked into his account.
it scary to thing that games can cause this reaction in some ppl, i was shocked when my friend told me abotu this stuff, i just couldn't beleive it.

Online Games is the best fun and timekiller u can have after dark.
I love online games and i play regularly so yeah i dont know about the addiction thing because i play for fun i play counterstrike source at the moment and the okes is so badly worried about their ratio's like kill per death and points because they wanna join Good clans but i am having much more fun just playing the game than trying to make a living out of it.
U know look at the word play games,this is suppose to be for entertainment and i have a job so yeah that is my intertainment i am not in the top 50 players in South Africa but i love playing online and lans and all that.
Good intertainment for me.
So i think ppl get consumed by the enjoyment and then they just want more and more till one day then it is gone.

I think what the problem is is that people play to much of these in one sitting. My friends would play at time to 4 in the morning or all nighters which is not bad as they did only occasionally and did not let it rule there lives. I only play those sorts of games for maybe a max of 8hrs a week. I don't see how people can let a game rule their lives and can let themselves go. no offence jamm0927 and Pigtaru

You can gain level (and ego) from leveling up in MMOs.
