MMO's aren't the only online games that can cause heartache, divorce, or marriages to happen. People look at EQ - because it's a big name - but never consider that someone may have ended a marriage because of pogo (
www.pogo.com) or msn messenger. A person you meet online can be anyone they say they are, or anything you
think they are. IMHO you don't end your marriage because of the game, as the game was only a symptom of a much bigger problem.
However, I am a person with an addictive personality (which is why I won't try drugs) and fell into the hole that was EQ. It was just a fun game to me, until I met someone who filled a spot that was empty - and I hadn't realized just how empty it was until that point. Thankfully, my marriage was strong enough, and we were able to over come this problem. My husband will never forget the things that happened, the 'other' man will never forget how we felt towards each other, and I will never forget that I nearly lost it all, but
not because of a game. I can't stress that enough.
I won't discuss my opinion about EQ Widows.... I'll save that for another day.
Good Article Aredhel (I keep thinking it's Aradhel) one day you should post a story on how you got that name
It's interesting and masculine! (Giggle)
What really sucked was my husband played with me. I met this other man in a different aspect of the game... Even if your sig. other plays EQ with you, things can go awry. One thing people should remember though, is it ISN'T the games you play that ruin your life. It's just a symptom (as I've said) of a much bigger, uglier problem.
Or did i totally lose track of the original thought?
