How addicted are you of DAoC?

[old.Cero]

How addicted can you be of a game?
I thought of that many times.

You think of DAoC every minute of the day even at work ?

You tell lies to your girlfriend just to play DAoC?

You making up things that you are sick so you can't go to school or work?

You are taking vacation from work just to play DAoC?

Print out quests (well for those who doesn't have 2 computers)

Spent endless hours analyzing diffrent styles, items, classes, realms etc...

You are playing at least 8 hours a day?

Well.... I say that I have done all these things just to play DAoC.

So Kemor if you are reading this.

Get some speed patching and translating the EU servers, ppl getting tired of waiting and starting to move to US just because of this. We spend more on this game ffs than our family. This game is like a second family!!!

So for god sake we are paying you to play a DECENT game, then give us some suport back.

Moo

[Khalen]

I'm so addictive to it that I can't stop

 

[Dewey]

I think the fact that I've got an exam in 3 hours and I'm posting on the forums tells you something

 

[old.Jierdan]

Goddamn,

i'm at work and was thinking of leaving early today to play DaoC.

Now i gotta stay to show ppl i'm NOT addicted

 

[old.ViU]

I'm not addicted, I dont even play this game b4.. I cant see how one gets addicted to sitting at the same spot exping for days to get a lv

 

[old.dittytwo]

Thats gotta be the pygmys....

 

[m-a-n-t-i-s]

Yer... The damn things deserve all they get

 

[old.Trine Aquavit]

OK, and now the scientific method:

        Days /played (all characters)
A =  -------------------------------------  * 24
          Days since started playing

  A                      Addicted?
------------------------------------------------------
0 - 1  What? You have a life outside DAOC?
1 - 2  You want to play more but you can't!
2 - 3  "I can handle it, honest"
3 - 4  There may still be hope, but probably not
4 - 5  Communicating outisde of DAOC is becoming a real problem
5 - 6  What job?  What life?  I don't care I have 9 squillion RPs!
6+     You are beginning to evolve into a new subspecies of mole-man!

 

[cleeve]

I spent the best part of a slow day playing about in photoshop ('learning how to use a new app') just so I could do this

God I am hooked

I actually start thinking in english, almost all the time. Being german, that's a bit strange somehow.

Thats REALLY wierd

 

[old.Organ-Grinder]

<<<< pulls up chair and sits in circle with rest of my fellow addicts hi my name is organ and i been playing daoc for 2 months now and i cant stop playing .. to many chars to many realms to much stuff to do and far to much to learn addicted and still feel in some areas a comparative noobie

 

[old.Iominali]

I think Iominali had 20-25 days /played on him before it was time to let the elf loose.

Let's see how my shade Iomi will prove in that dept.

BTW, that scientific method is as scientific as my math test answers and about as correct, too

And as for the original questions, yes. To all of them. At least those that are possible. And no, I won't get any deeper into my social circles

The worst days of my addiction are over though. People behaving ignorantly have played an important role in my rehab.

 

[old.tRoG]

god i am addicted...

i play from when a wee while after i get work (5.30pm gmt) till when the rest of the family starts screaming (about 10.00pm gmt).

at weekends, suprisingly, i dont play all day...

in a week i play about 1 - 1/2 days.

i think i should get a real life soon

and yes, i answered yes to all of the above questions... except the more than 8 hours a day one... not enough time in the day

please, fellow addicts, help me!

Couple ways to play more daoc:

Introduce your gf/wife/daughter...to the wonders of this game, if they don't like the killing, introduce them to the wonderful world of crafting. Only do this if you have more than 1 computer, and buy another game, and subscription, or she will find endless chores for you to do, while she plays daoc.

Tell you history teacher that it is research for your medieval project, and that it is essential that he lets you skip lessons to play, also try getting him to play too, then he will be skipping work to play, and then you don't have the lesson anyway

Basically, just get anyone who has authority over you to start playing the game, then they won't mind you playing
