    Games like clash of clans and other are definitely time consuming. And another thing is that some good games into MMORPG are being added. So I think some really good are losing users too. So things like that do happen.

    Very true on that point.

    Unless if you play the games to earn some cash, then it is a nice thing to spend most of the time there. But if one plays them for entertaining purposes alone, I would suggest that most gsmes should only be played during one's free time.

    They consume a lot of time because you tend to live the game. You build character and complete missions. They were made to be a lifetime game.

    Yup, and you can always restart it if you get bored at the end.

    I have to admit - they do take up a lot of time especially when you are in an extremely big and mighty guild. To stay at the top you have to be constantly active.

    But as much as we should love playing these games, soe of them are very addictive. You could easily forget to do your important chores at the expense of taking part in excessice gaming.

    It is amazing how time flies when you are really into an MMORPG. I used to play Champions Online non-stop for almost 12 hours back in the days and I was one of the top 5 strongest characters in-game. I made many pay-to-win players rage-quit - Oh the memories.

    Google play has some of the time waster games too. I personally don't prefer them. I try my best with most of those games. But overall I'd say that mmorpg is a bit time consuming and often not worth it.

    There are only a handful of google play games that can really draw a player in.

    I have to agree to that. Lot of those games are nothing but the ads slapped into it. And they offer no value at a ll. It's kind of sad.

    True, but companies got to make that good revenue some way.

    I agree, it's wise to try and find the balance between gaming time, time to work and time to do your chores. Don't give gaming too much time.

    Yeah, but I don't like restarting a game, once I have learned the storyline I didn't feel like playing the game all over again.

    In Mmorpgs, I am usually a tank dps or healing tank and I usually love to do PVP battles.

    What I meant was that I don't really enjoy playing a game all over again. Once I complete it I don't go back to it.

    Yes, it's very time consuming and I don't have that much free time to begin with, that's why I steer clear of such types of games.

    Nowadays, I tend to also avoid these kinds of games and I only mess around with casual games.
