I don't think everyone that's really into gaming is necessarily addicted to it. I think addiction means that it negatively impacts other parts of your life. If you miss school or work or family events or sleep or otherwise don't take care of your health then yeah, it could be problematic. Just...

Some people like the idea of building groups from scratch. That's the old school way, before all these matchmaking tools became available. It's a good way to make friends in a game, if you don't have a ready made crew to play with. You find out who is good, who isn't, who is fun to play with...

I'm wishing for Classic World of Warcraft more than ever. It was so much fun that I miss playing it (how it used to be). Since all the other games that sound good to me are in development, it's going to be a wait either way. I'd rather have the real thing if possible rather than trying all the...

I know I would get bored with shooters. Too repetitive for me (and I also get motion sickness). I like the more immersive style of game with a good story and some fantasy elements. I guess that's what makes MMORPGs so attractive. That, and the fact that you can play and socialize with others...

Yeah, and there are certain tabards you can earn or get for various events as well. I have one transmog outfit that I designed around the Theramore one. The outfit is all white with the white tabard and gold trim. It's pretty spiffy. :sunglasses: I wish I still had the one I got for the spirit...

It's a constant stream of new guilds. I can only imagine how many have started and then gone defunct. I've even bought guilds from people that tried it and quickly found out it wasn't for them. It's usually cheaper to buy one than make one and buy the bank tabs, since people just want to get rid...

That's true. Some people do take it quite seriously. I've seen guild applications that look like job apps. We were a bit on the serious side (competitive, progress driven), but not super hardcore. Our main purpose for apps was to make things easier on the officers. Trust me, we had plenty of...

In the past few years, it got much easier. I could solo some dungeons at level (on a priest). I wanted some gear for doing BGs, so I farmed it on my own. The bracers out of Wailing Caverns for example, which I have to say, I was kind of surprised that I could farm them on my own. I guess stuff...

I hear ya. Burning Crusade rocked. Nothing has been the same since. I did actually have fun in Wrath of the Lich King, but it was the beginning of the end. Even the early raids in Cata were good (Blizzard does do good raids), but man, that expac was the first nail in the coffin. So much damage...

Since I prefer PC gaming, I'd rather use my keyboard and mouse. I feel like I have more control and more options. I use addons to add more spells to the buttons (with modifiers) on my mouse. That took a little getting used to at first, but it's all muscle memory now, and I love it. I think it...

You guys took the words right out of my mouth. It's hard to trust reviews that might be incentivized. I'd much rather hear from other players who have actually tried the game and played for more than a few minutes. An obligatory test run by a paid reviewer doesn't really cut it. I found that out...

Thanks for the info, @PenguinManiac. That gives me a good place to start. At the very least, I should look into these for my kiddo to protect her eyes in advance. She doesn't really spend as much time on the computer (or console) as I do, but why take any risks, right? Yes, I would definitely...

Yep, I'm there to enjoy myself not deal with drama. Thankfully, most of the time, being in a guild was a pretty good experience for me. Most of the people I ran with were cool. I have a lot of good memories of playing with some of them. There are even a few that I still talk to, all these years...

That is so true. When our server started losing population, some of the people in our guild just gave up. We could have continued progression for some time yet, but they wouldn't even try. I kind of didn't blame them for getting discouraged, but they were a bit over the top. They stopped showing...

Do you close your eyes for a bit in between as well? Letting them rest completely even for a short bit, helps me sometimes. I haven't tried the glove, so I can't really say. In the mean time, try shaking out your hands. Put your arms out to the sides and just shake them for several seconds...

Yeah, I didn't know if those gaming glasses would work either, but it sounds like they might be worth a try. Where do you buy them? Is one brand better than another? I think this is 100% true. I should have mentioned it as well, since I've noticed it personally. If I sit in a dark room staring...

I enjoy playing with other people who have similar interests and being part of a team. There is just something about teamwork that makes successes (and sometimes even failures) feel better. I don't mind doing things on my own as well, but it's still nice to have others to chat with while doing...

It happens to me more often when I'm working online than when I'm playing a video game. Too much bright, white, screen tends to take a toll and cause eye strain. Another thing that may make a difference is the fact that I tend to take breaks more when gaming than I do when working. If I'm...

I love MMORPGs. Well, mainly, I loved one, and now I want to find another great one that will give me the same sense of excitement and fun. The main thing I like about gaming is being able to play with other people, especially when the game play involves teamwork. The feeling of accomplishing...

I have heard of this game, but I never really looked into it. Can you tell us a little more about it? From the title, I'm guessing it's a PvP only game. That means lots of ganking. Does it also have harsh penalties for death and stuff? What are the battlegrounds like, or is it more of an open...
