That conclusion might have been easier because I didn't pay for it, and therefore had no reason to fool myself into believing I had not just thrown money away. But still, it makes me wonder why, among all games available, so many people seem to choose MMORPG games for their addiction. I mean, if you really have to become addicted, can't you try Dangerous Waters or Falcon 4 or something like that instead?

:hmm: MMORPG is so famous amongst the gamers because:
1. you create ur own character, you make him ur own style. who doesnt like that hoh.
2. also the game is 1 big cock fight whois the strongest.
3. dont forget the Items you can find and trade ... ow god...some fokes trade all time...
4. And who doesnt like to achieve victory by beating up a big bad ass huge monster..that makes u feel a real hero doesnt it
5. Why play outside with friend or go out with them, while all that is in 1 game...you play Outside in an virtual wonderfull world and you grab a beer and burp along Ventrillo or Teamspeak.
6. And on a bad mood day...you can insult everyone of using Hacks/cheats. and chop of a few heads. well at least its better then beating ur sister again.
7. and who doesnt like Person versus person fight. hey! you can insult him on the harders ways...you kill the poor fella. Dont get into a Bar fight though, in real life there are no spells avaible and the clothes ur wearing dont work as the Angelic Gothic Armore Plate ur char has

I dont play it...and never will.
