With the advent of Massively Multiplayer Online Role Playing Games (MMORPG), a lot of people have suffered from MMORPG over-addiction, so much so that some of them have slowly confused the real world with the fantasy environment of the games they’re playing. I kid you not! This seeming merger of truth and fiction is not restricted to costume plays (or cosplays), sci-fi conventions or game launches. It has extended to everyday life. And if you have been playing a particular MMORPG for hours upon hours, each and every day, you might be suffering from MMORPG over-addiction yourself!
How would you know?
Here are 10 signs that can be observed if ever you have too much MMORPG adrenaline in your system.
1. Whenever you want to buy something, you think in terms of gold instead of dollars. Gold, of course, is the unit of currency in most MMORPG game worlds.
2. Whenever you accomplish a significant deed, you subconsciously expect to level up, coupled with a sound in the background to inform the world of such a feat. MMORPG programs reward players with experience points which can be used to increase their levels.
3. You find yourself speaking in Old English. Quite a number of MMORPG systems require the players to role play their characters as if they’re living in a fantastical, medieval world. This includes conversing in Old English. So hear ‘ye, hear ‘ye, hear ‘ye, if thou hath been speaking the tongue of ages yore, thou hath been possessed by the soul of thy machinated character.
