Many things can work as 'drugs', and the human
needs somehow drugs, things he can think of when
he feels bad or so to motivate himself. But you
must control yourself to not let it destroy your life,
not easy though.

If people see this game as a drug, they have deeper problems than just being on here day and night....

Well, playing online games can be more interesting
than watching stupid TV or walking through the
streets at -10 degrees celcius or so

Stefan is it true that in Germany there are strict lawsa on video games..
like they cant have human blood and stuff and be sold publicly..
so you have to order them from special shops and have to be older then 18...
and thats why in command and conquer,
the german verison when the people get squished by tanks instead of them splattering and blood coming out and it going sqquish...
you actually har a metallic crunch so its as if the soldiers were really robots?

TV isn't stupid, I mean, it's not like I watch it all the time, but if there is a good movie on or a sports event I like I watch it

I agree...
However...when you start going from A's to B's and a C or two that isnt good. Ill Take tv if It means I get friends,acting,and grades back. Hell ill even take the -10 degrees celcius If I get all that back

All you have to do is budget your time. Anything can be addicting, not just graal, and you need to realize when enough is enough and you need a change. Why don't you do your homework first then play graal? I find it frustrating to do homework when I get home from school though, so I usually use the computer (and play graal) until 5:00 or 6:00, then I do my work the rest of the night. It really works out, trust me, because you have enough time to play and unwind, while you still have enough time to study and be serious about school. My grades are good and I have enough time to play, while I still have time for my friends and girlfriend, so just try budgeting your time, it will help you a lot. All you need is the motivation to change it though and we can't help you with that.....

Sorry if Graal ruined your life. Really, I think you're being melodramatic, but you have a right to say what you want.

Exaggeration or no, I'm glad you're leaving. I hope it brings you happiness.

I have learned enough about C from Graal that when Neverwinter Nights comes out...I should be able to script for it, if it's well documented.

I've learned much about how to deal with people, work experience, and investments. I've learned how to argue, and most importantly, how to roleplay.

Sure, I've become a bit more rash, but for the most part, it's been positive for me.

wow so you get like zeros??? are you trying to get bad grades? you could go in to something you dont know anything about and get better than an f average

Graal is the reason that I got C's in all my classes last year. I was too obsessed, but I can control it now.

I remember one time turning down an offer to go to the movies with my friends because I was in a Survivor tournament with about 2 minutes left. I didn't even win. God, I was pitiful.
