Being addicted to an MMO can consume your life. Every minute of your free time is consumed, and every minute you are stuck away from it is spent thinking about what you will do when you can get back on.But at least it gives you motivation and a sense of achievement and progress. If it is able to be kept under control it can be fun and satisfying, even.I spent all my high school years at some level of addiction to one MMO or another. Then I started playing Aeon of Strife Style Fortress Assault Games Going on Two Sides, and have spent almost all my adult years on them. Even if they do not take up all my free time, maybe 3 hours a night, they seem to be worse for you. An addiction to a game like DotA numbs you and keeps you occupied.When I am playing an MMO I have a reason to get out of bed. I am enthusiastic for what I am going to do next, looking forward to my next achievement. Sure that constant drip feed of dopamine is terrible for your life outside the game but at least you're feeling something. When I wake up with a moba as my current obsession I remain in bed for an hour before gradually building the will. "Eh, I guess I'll slide out of bed now and queue for a game".In recent years I have learned to control my behaviour. When I have been playing OSRS lately I can succesfully keep it to the end of the day, after I have dealt with my responsibilities and I genuinely enjoy it, without it consuming my life.When DotA is my go to, it becomes the default whenever I am not doing anything in particular or start getting distracted.>Eh I've got an hour to kill>I'm not really doing anything elseI don't play it because I want to but because it is easy and comfortable.It's taken me a long time to realise this, but MMOs are not the greatest evil in vidya.
