Ok, so we know that MMOs can be addicting. Throughout the ages there have been many major ones being MS, Runescape, and ofc WoW. There are 2 guys in my dorm who play MMOs, one plays WoW, the other Runescape.

The WoW player basically never leaves his seat. I've seen him out of his room about 3 times and all of those he was in a big hurry like he had to get back and raid or something lol. I don't think I've heard him speak yet, maybe he said something on Vent, Idk.

Think this is bad, well the Runescape player is infinitely sadder.

He isn't a recluse like the WoW player and I never really suspected him of being a crazy MMO addict until today when I went in and saw him just chopping trees in Runescape. When I was like 'wtf' he just said he had 300,000 chops to get to the next level, apparently he was at 96. Then he said "I have to get to level 99 so I get a special cape to wear and people know I'm a crazy woodcutting pimp." Which is what just killed me.

My roommate freshman year played wow and went to class, and that was it. There is no way most of you will believe this, but we literally shared less words throughout the entire YEAR WE LIVED FOUR FEET AWAY FROM EACH OTHER than there are inside this post. And that is not from lack of trying, I would try to start conversations with him and at best I would get a one word answer with an obvious 'don't talk to me' implied in his voice, and at worst he would pretend he didn't hear me.

No I'm pretty sure he wasn't, he was pretty serious when he said it. You know how much ridiculous time it takes to do that kind of thing, according to some ppl who played it probably 50+ hrs just chopping wood.

That being said, my roommate the year after that played a bunch of wow but was an awesome guy and partied and everything, just played wow between classes and whatnot. So not everybody that plays an mmo is broken, just the ones that let it become their life. (Imho)

This reminds me of the American novelist Norman Maclean's short story "Logging and Pimping, and Your Pal Jim".

It felt like gravity.

I must say, it is definitely not 300,000 chops for the next level.

Meh, the way you make it sound, it is pretty bad. If you play it less seriously, it can be a time passer...
