15. Really love that the world is user created

I love that you can code just about anything into existence you can imagine.

17. yeah, that's why we chose this one

My husband used to build models as a hobby,now he builds in Second Life. Full size "models" and the building materials are free! Between the camera zoom, his large monitor, and a magnifying glass he can see well enough to build, despite his low vision.

I don't build much, I'm more of an avatar addict. :D But taking scripting lessons from Squagmire.

7. Sorry, did not know that there was a game forum...

There are so many...

[AllegroRondo]

8. I avoid them

because I know that if I tried them, I would spend every waking minute on the computer.

9. You know, I thought that too

but I joined up with Knight Online (Cypher2 server) and I usually can't spend more than two hours a day in front of it cause it just gets so tedious after a while.

10. reformed evercrack addict

there is not a day that goes by that I dont think it would be fun to go back to norrath. (three years away now but still have my accounts)
Those games are extremely addictive especially if you work at home!

11. Yeah, World of warcraft

I got a rogue up to level 49 before i got sick and tired of it. So now I'm trying out a hunter, those first 10 levels before you get your pet are really slow and boring.

[SheepyMcSheepster]

12. I play City of Heroes

and i will soo be playing City of Villians!

[SidDithers]

13. I still play on an old, text based MUD...

but that community has gotten smaller and smaller over the years.

20. I'm a recovering EQ and DAOC player.

EQ was the worst. I had like a lvl 36ish Druid, never got down the fast leveling(kiting) with a druid so thats as high as he went. Having to do a corpse run is what I imagine being in hell is like. I played this thing basically every evening for 2 hours, then several hours on Sat/Sun. My wife hated it.

I dropped it and went to DAOC which I played for a year and got a theurgist to lvl 50. I did better with this one played just 3 evenings(joined a gym) a week for a couple hours, plus some on and off on the weekends.

Both of those games just absolutely suck away your life. I remember hitting lvl 50 and I did a play time command. I had something like 23 days.. thats real time days worth of playing. Reading that at 1am was about enough for me I quit soon after because of the embarrassment of all that wasted time and my son being born soon. Kept the gym membership though and have been 'leveling' there for over 3 years. I do miss the community though I had some pretty good friends in those games.

Moved to countersrike(something I could play a bit and stop fast - much better for kids). Now I have a carpal tunnelish type issue and so except for programming(job) I say off the PC for gaming. I've bought a playstation 2 and am renting games for it through gamefly.com. I can play and get off it fairly quickly and its easier on the wrists.

With twins on the way I expect I will just stay with console gaming an hour here and there were I can it wont be much for awhile. Besides console gaming is much cheaper for me then upgrading, and completely rebuilding a PC every three years. I'd be due for a rebuild right now if I still played on the PC.
