I started in D&D long before there were any RP games to play on anyones computers. little less the relatively new experience of online gaming. Its as time consuming as you let it be. YES some people get lost in it and it eats up all thier free time. If not for games it would be mocies, books, music or hanging out at the mall. So its just another way to spend and invest your time.
As for my little girl Zesty's comments. Yes i have played ALOT less since meeting her. I am a guild leader In Wow and my friends online think I have been kidnapped they see so little of me anymore. <WG> I am online just enough to keep the guild functioning and the adventures running. I spend little time online myself adventuring anymore. So its a sign you can reall learn to leave outside the gaming. LOL .....
