*Sits and ponders for a moment....*
Well.....
DUH!!!

Um, I am getting real tired of people talking about this lately. I know that it is easy to be drawn in. I have been there. But I also have taken steps since then to make sure that I am spending my time doing other things around the house. Things like setting alarms and picking a time that I will stop by.
The whole deal is that this game gives you positive reinforcement all the time. When you complete a quest you get money or XP, sometimes both. When you get enough XP you get a visual cue that you leveled. When you can't level anymore you make more money. As you work your way around the world you build up rep with various cultures/groups which earn you access to better recipes, etc.
I know that Snauz got in trouble for choosing wrong for a while. I would be curious to hear his thoughts on all this.

The denial is not a good sign.

Yeah, that's 'cause it means you are in Egypt!

Can I also point out the Dr. Orzack is a female (strike 1)
and She is over 50 (stirke 2)

I think that it's just more of "lets find a problem to fit a new diagnosis and then we can make more money off of making people believe that they are sick".
-
that too

I do believe that it is VERY easy to allow the game to take over your life because you want to finish "just one more quest" before quitting for the day. But Again I stress the fact that taking responsibility for your time and actions makes a big difference.
I was really hoping that Snauz might chime in here and tell us his thoughts about what has been said. *waits patiently*
