Do you think gamer have a life? I'm talking to alot of ppl in gw and they said to me they play more then 6hours a day... wtf i dont even do that on a week..

ZenRgy · Aug 22, 2007, 11:52 PM // 23:52

What a brilliant discussion!

Try find an MMO (or any game) without players who spend a lot of time on it. But it doesn't mean they don't have a life.

Two hours a day for Summer... Still got some life left....

Rikimaru · Aug 22, 2007, 11:59 PM // 23:59

6 hours a day pretty much means they don't have a life. Or they don't have a job.

julien · Aug 23, 2007, 12:05 AM // 00:05

But if you spend +6h a day, that mean.. you dont spend time with your friends/sport/girls... and its summer!

maters how they manage it lets say this is their schedule

wake up at 6 a.m
play an hour of gw
take a shower and eat then go to work/school
get home at 4 play another 2 hours of gw
eat dinner(6)
go out to movies or concert or stuff like that(possibley hw)
get home at 9
1 hours of hw/work
gw for 3 hours
this is bad but bareble
sleep is not all that great but maybe they sleep in class

well you could have put it in other words but

yeah there are alot of pople who game, some too much, thats with every game not just mmos, know a guy that was addicted to solitare.

6 hours is alot tho.

but internet addiction is real, like alcohol and smoking, hard to overcome, clinics in korea if i remmeber right that were setup as a rehab i tihnk. so not all can help it.

some people game to forget

its and alt reality,

above i was refering to internet gaems as awhole, like BF2 ,CS,WoW,GW
game doesnt matter

julien · Aug 23, 2007, 12:10 AM // 00:10

Well, I do believe I have a life...I hold down a 60+ hour a week job, have 3 kids and a wonderful wife... I don't watch TV, and typically manage to play a couple hours of GW most nights after kids are in bed/rooms. Wife has her own account, and the 2 oldest kids do also, so for events and weekends, we usually get several hours in. So it IS possible to have LOTS of fun at GW as well as have a life. Just depends on how well you manage your time, and how much you want to waste, vs considering it time WELL wasted...

Or it's our day off.

Between my full-time job, a modest but healthy social life, and doing art commissions on the side, I still manage to log in some hefty game-time during my off-nights.

I Might Avenge U · Aug 23, 2007, 12:21 AM // 00:21

well technically I'm on the computer alot, even if I'm not playing GW.. Photoshop
is time consuming, so I guess I still do like 6 hours a day on the computer... Still, I'm not playing Video games and with school coming up.. T_T

Truth has fact. Where's yours? Let's see... You play the game and instead of going out and having the life you're criticising others of not having, you're on a GAME FORUM and WHINING about other people. I think hypocrisy really can be offensive. Just not to the right people you wanted it to be. Of course, chances are that you have no idea what I just said so I'll leave it at that.

RotteN · Aug 23, 2007, 12:47 AM // 00:47

how would sitting in front of your TV all evening/night give you anything more of a life than playing computergames ?

seriously, people that think one has no life simply because he plays games are retards. There will always be people that overdo stuff, but i'm fairly sure the majority of people here do have a "life".

What's the fuzz anyway, if playing online all evening is your social interaction of choice, who am I to say you're wrong ?

Well you've spent an hour on the forums that I can have definite proof for. An hour straight in one weeknight. Didn't you say you didn't bother with the computer for more than 6 hours a week? And why do you care about the "opinions" of people online when you disregard the people online themselves?
