Default Re: MMORPG Time Limits

The ESRB needs to jump on this shit. They rate games M because they are worried some violence is going to ruin a 11 year old's life, but these massive online RPGs get E and T ratings and they ruin way more lives. People with compulsive tendencies are obviously at the highest risk. It's crazy to think that people are losing their jobs or failing their classes because they got addicted to a game, but it happens. thatmariolover makes a good point when he says if you have a free week to waste then you should be free of restriction. I agree that there should be some sort of warning indication or better guideline explaining the dangers of online gaming addiction. I don't think a mandatory time limit should be put in place. I've had free weekends where I have done nothing but played 48 hours of games....mostly Counter-Strike and TFC.
