See ya around mate - let me be the first to say that youre better off with the summer here . Ive been inactive since just after Christmas and Im logging back on June the 5th ( This monday )

The break did me a lot of good and put other things in perspective . Got a lot fitter and healthier and that so hope you can go cold turkey for a little bit . No need to go forever ..just enough to break the trend for a while ..

Miss standing in DL testing damage on each other ..the then rr3 luri eld versus rr10 elf crazeh damage eld But my cast speed was nice tho

Good luck - see ya when you get enough fresh air

true, without daoc i probably would have substituted it with some other time consuming habit, like watching a lot of telly. Or in the best case scenario, a lot of interesting hobbies..

I have often thought about what direction my life would have taken if I wasn't given a pc and got introduced to playing games at 7, would I be more athletic, or if I didnt get introduced to Ultima Online at 13, would I have gone out more and socialised more irl? Would going out more have lead me to good or bad people/things? Basically has playing games and mmorpgs been an overall negative or positive influence in my upbringing?

Yah... as I see it any hobby is a good hobby. And a hobby is a hobby. Why would any hobby be better then any other hobby?

For exampel playing soccer ( wich i have done since i was maybe 5 ) how good of a hobby is that when I know it will not bring me any money, any chicks or any recognition? But what it gives me is a good time, I enjoy playing soccer and all that is surrounded by it.
Now I ask you and anyone else what exactely is the diffrence between these two? Imo nothing, it's just a way to pass time and relax.

And Mxn iam not attacking you personally here, of course everyone have their own reasons and one could write endless of papers that analyzes the effect games/hobbys can have on people and if / why they are a substitute for something else.

I on the other hand still claim that (atleast my DAoCing) is not a substitute for anything else. Some days I feel like going out clubbing and waste 150 dollars on a good night of fun, and some nights I feel like playing DAoC/any other game.

But what I still do not fully understand is when people states they are leaving a game and an online community (hobby) b/c their lives are fucked up and DAoC makes it impossible for them to sort whatever situation they have been caught in.

Ivy when you say you have thought about how you life would have been if you where not given a computor etc...I can not answer that question for you, but for me it is quiet simpel, I would probably have been doing something else, wich I would have enjoyed as much as DAoC/other games.

But as I mentioned before if gaming/your hobby is a substitute instead of an enhancement of your life then something is wrong.

As I said you don't treat a disease just by lindren the symptom of it.

To just clearify, this is not an attack on anyone but mearly just a thought I had when I read this thread.

Just wanna clarify things here after sum thoughts i had while on my little break. U mentioned playin soccer (pls call it football ffs) in comparison to daoc. Firstly while playin footy u r socialising with a grp of peole irl. Ur out in the fresh air while playing and also getting fitter by playing. While playing daoc u r sat on ya arse probably hooked up to ts talking at ur pc. Not some physical person in the room.
Imo mmorpgs are pretty bad for ya health and are very addictive and u rly cant compare it to sports such as football. I do think playing any mmorpg has a negative effect on ur life and is hard to balance with real life stuff. However u make the decision to play it up until the point u get bored/fat/no sex/socially retarded Hence the reason why some peeps (not sayin u mxn) use leaving daoc as an excuse to sort out their lives, as for most players they get so absorbed in daoc they lose track of there real life.

Just my 2 cents lol,
