U, yes urself ruined your own life. If you think it is ruined now.

andrejat wrote:Well, I remember starting this game so long ago.. 2 years ago, when being a lvl 24 was awesome, and 1 million gold was good good good money.

I quit/returned so many times, but this summer I went over lvl 40 for the first time and now I am at lvl 79, on the verge of lvl 80.

But, I have been playing against my will from lvl 59-79. In other words, I hated every minute of it- except for the friends ive made, which were awesome.

So 2 days ago, I sort of looked at what was up. My grades were dropping, I was losing real friends, gaining weight, my acne was coming back full speed, my hands hurted and my eye sight is starting to go down hill. All for what? A game. A game full of botters, scammers, gold sellers, cheaters, aweful people and piss poor excuses for human beings- from stupid little kids to racists ( anti turk people who murder turks or kick them from parties , same with germans )

Yeah, I was a high level in a game, but in real life, I was on the verge of ruining my life. So, even with 20 days of GT and SP ticket left, I charged back 50$ of silk, deleted the game, put the screenshots on a disk, cut myself off from the social/game network and shut off my computer for the first time in months.

I quit! I know, your all sick of hearing this, but I feel like I have some sort of petty obligation to say.. get out now. If your just starting, stop! Go study something, learn, make yourself better in real life instead of wasting time on a game. Games like this DO ruin your life, SRO is just as bad for people as WOW is.

I'll miss the memories, but a part of me is looking back and regretting wasting 2 years of my life.

you burned out man, too much play, i do this just for fun i play like 4hours a day or more, but i have a real life too, not much but i have other things to do, well atleast you got to 79, the highest i got was like 42 in like 3 months i used to PT on the two months, yeah yeah, you gonna outgrow games, thats life, for us we just cant get enough coz we cant login lolz, anywayz im not quitting just taking a few months break, when i had PT i ran to a ks problem it really got me so mad i took a break for a few months, i came back when new servers went open, bad move for me, coz now i realize there are more gold bots on new servers coz they are harvesting to cater to low levels and starters who want to get ahead of the game

i can buy PT and GT too but its sure beats the idea of free to play,

PS - I just finished a Master's thesis. So yah, I've managed to play SRO, religiously, yet complete a graduate degree AND function in a successful touring rock band AND work 40+ hours a week AND maintain a social life. Ummmmm, yeah, you see where I'm going here.
