MMORPG

For those of you who don't know, an MMORPG is a Massive Multiplayer Online Role Playing Game. Examples of this would be World of Warcraft, Age of Conan, Everquest, Vanguard, etc. I know this because my boyfriend and his friends are massively addicted to said game genre. Throw in the Xbox on top of them and they'd never leave the house. What is the appeal of these highly addicting games? I think it's because communication with people who tend to be a bit eccentric is easie, taking off the pressures and social anxiety that many people tend to go through.

I too sadly have taken part in these games on occasion, mostly because when you're broke and stuck at home, you might as well lose yourself in a digital world and make the time go by.
