If... I never think that I'd be able to put enough effort to play this game I would have never played it. But more importantly, if I think I'd never be able to quit or stop, I wouldn't have played this game either.

I'm not saying this to justify where I am compared to full time botters or passionate hand players. It's just that, if ever you feel that lineage is taking a toll on your life, log off, turn off the PC, sit on your couch and get something to drink. Coffee, tea, whatever. Then if it's evening, stretch a bit, go for a walk. Bring someone with you if you can. Maybe jogging but a brisk walk is fine.

Please guys, take care of your health and place importance on anything else that needs your attention. It's not worth having your spirits shackled because of a game. Only when you understand this can you go grind!

hmmm.. dude, I'm like almost 24-7 on L2 cos i'm on holiday!!! lolx but come next month cant play so often lah gotta go back to work but fortunately the next project I'll have more time to play so can log in from CC n play after office hours hehehe. yeha thank GOD this project runs during office hours not like my last project >.< lolx

but what you say is true, One should schedule the playing time around your life and not schedule your life around the playing time. Its not that difficult really, cos i'm sure angelbratz and Lunaraine do it too. They have jobs and a family to run thus they play when they're free from the job and family. So, if they can do it I dun see why the rest cant. Even during the GM meeting ppl namely the PH ppl were complaining about how hard it is to lvl their char in this game. Thats a horrible excuse. If working class people with a familiy to take care of can do it, I dun see why students cant.

Overall, ResTecPa! to lunaraine and angelbratz! lolx.

p.s. Wei Angelbratz bila lah nak gi minum nih?! haus lah lolx AKu nak balik keje kat labuan dah >.< lolx cepat lah hahah

Bleh bleh....This Sat wan arr??? Where & When??? Saturday is my RL anniversary. Got to prepare some stuff for the wedding in L2

Dunno how deco......

i'm just following my doctor advice Kolish...after my AngioPlasty he says "for heaven sake go get involve in some games or something!"

My first option the "mahjong" game didn't work out cause the smoky environment and a 25 years ex-chimney dun mix well...

...and here i'm.. playing a game with u guys!

haha.. kol these few weeks I admit most of my free times given to L2.. But does not mean L2 controlling my life.. Its just i would say in malay "saja2 sambil tengok EURO" hehe.... Yap euro just over and its time for me to back to my old casual gaming..

i wont let this lineage takes over my life and i put my loved ones priority infront everything else.

im coming home soon then i thought i would. i might lose somebody i loved.

dont compare angelbratz and Lunaraine and the rest of us ... for starters .. they both is involved with lineage 2 in their work ... playing l2 and working with l2 does have its advantages over rest of us who complain is hard to lvl .. its true .. the grind is very serious ...

ok thats all ...

Hidup Li-Neage 2

talkin bout grindin...
yea listen to hanzer...
coz he is the guy who ask some1 else to lvl up his char

hehe well from lvl 1 to lvl 67 ..i wonder who lvled my char .. hmmmmm

i wonder who also LOL

i also wonder who lvled "Duolargo" from lvl 1 to lvl 76

hmmmmmmm

Ahaha guys okay okay no need to point fingers at suspicious looking things. I brought the topic up after one particular incident. Some days ago my modem kena panah lightning and I had to play in some CC near home. I couldn't help but notice this couple who were playing a certain MMORPG with their 5 year old child with them. Since it was kind syok to play somewhere where it doesn't lag I extended till the early morning ahaha.

And the couple were still there with their child. The little girl was stuck on a chair, sleeping now and again, opening her eyes to the bright lights and the loud noises. I do not understand these parents. I do not know if they know what it means to be parents at all. I had a talk with the person manning the cafe and he told me they would come 16 hours every day just playing. When I asked whether it was their work (RMT) I found out it wasn't. The husband would go out for 7 or 8 hours work nearby and come back playing, joining his wife. He said the little girl was always with them sitting bored in front of the computer, sometimes playing too but soon lost interest. They tapau food and eat while playing. How they can lead this sort of life is beyond me. I also suspect many others have fallen into this sort of thing too.

I don't like preaching but I do hope that while we go on playing this game we all love, remember we still have a life to live and remember we have very precious people around us that we should take care of.

OMFG.. Got such humans? I mean parents? Ewww kesian the little kid laa! Can't they just get 2 home pc's or sumthing?? I wont be surprised if someone reported them and their kid goes to social services hands or something like that >_>

O.o 1z time hearin it btw.... pity taht kid or that kid is gonna get beaten up later for not playin MMORPG ..LOL

P/s:- hanzer dun b a d*** head until u know wat lvl dual was passed 2 me.. LOL nub

Moral of the Story: Know your Limits and think about others as well.
