Have you ever skipped meals and sleeping over MMORPG?

Oh, I almost forgot. When I was still playing Aion, I ended up having this massive streak of like 30 hours playing after I made a ton of Kinah and got a bunch of drops in a short period...I was working at the same time, played video games for 30 hours and made over $300 in the meantime! Fond memories, lol

 

I've been up late a few times but not often. I don't skip meals either. It's just a game.

 

I get that. It's so easy to just get lost in the game especially ones like these where you can play with friends indefinitely during vacation. I don't really push it too far though since it's not that enjoyable to me when you're too tired but still going.

 

Oh yeah any gamer can definitely say yes to not eating or sleeping due to gaming. When I was in college I once spent 6 hours playing League of Legends even when I had exams the next day. That was definitely the height of my addiction and my eventual downfall. I needed to get away from gaming after that and sometimes all you need are good and active friends.

 

Never happened to me. It's not worth it to me because with a full stomach I can play better.

 

Absolutely. It's a gamer lifestyle. Sleep is for the weak, hunger is for the weak, and really, some people really take it so seriously that they even collapse of exhaustion because they don't want to eat or sleep or even go to the bathroom. It is a very intense thing that requires dedication, and sometimes maybe a little too much, as people won't care about their physical needs and just focus on their video game characters.

 

Actually it isn't. You are perpetuating an untrue and negative stereo type of people that enjoy games and it's kind of offensive to be honest.

 

Yeah lol I know what you mean. I can see the point of both sides as I don't like the feeling of playing too much when I'm not at peak condition since the experience isn't as good of a quality as it could be, but at the same time I've also experienced staying up telling myself it's the last stage and ten stages later I'm still saying the same thing haha.

 

I probably did a couple of times when I was younger.

 

When I was younger and I'm at the peak of my game addiction. Many times I have skipped meals. After going to school I immediately switching on my computer to play. Later on, after continuing this bad habit I got hospitalized because I got acute appendicitis. I didn't do that habit again.

 

That happened with me on many games. And it's kind of something I'd surely be thinking about for the gaming experience.

 

No, and I never would. People have literally died doing that sort of stuff.

 

Sometimes when the game is so interesting that you can not stop playing it, you have to skip some meals and even sleep inorder to continue playing it.

 

Yeah, I've tried skipping a meal because of playing games. I was addicted slight, but not totally addicted. I still do my responsibilities at school and at home. I just playing my hearts out when vacation. I had tried sleeping 3 am playing MMORPG game, it was Ragnarok. It's really hard to sleep when you have not yet achieved the next level of your character. I sleep 3 am and wake up like-- 8 am to play again. I skipped my breakfast and if I remember, I will have my lunch at 2 pm in the afternoon. That's a gamers life, and only gamers can understand how it feels like.

 

I have once or twice experienced skimming meals during my younger years. It was not good at all because it affected my health back then. I started getting weak and had fever for a week.
