[index] Wed Oct 18 23:26:40 CEST 2006 MUD and RL -- Just found a blog post which really sums up my experience with MUDding. Back in the mid-nineties, I played a dikumud something between thirty to fifty hours a week- and it was ruining me, breaking me apart. I didn't realize it at the time, but luckily I got out of it before it was too late. I can't compare my character(s) with the guy who played on WoW, I never came even close to getting a high-level character, but reading his experience really made me realize how lucky I was to quit when I did. http://soulkerfuffle.blogspot.com/2006/10/view-from-top.html Very well written. --
