Hey Argonath, lately I've been very active going online on Argonath and roleplaying with some of you. I've been taking a look at myself and the position Im in IRL. I feel like this game is more of an addiction than an enjoyable game to play. I told myself last year that I would try to stop playing since i was entering college and i would try to get a job. Since then Ive kept playing, and ive been falling behind in school right now and i cant get a job because im too lazy to go look for one. I've also stopped making some music which is what i consider the best hobby i've ever discovered for myself. my social life is also taking a hit because all i've been doing is sit in front of the computer which is pathetic for me.

anyway, i might not want stop argonath and go cold turkey, but i want people who have been in this situation to tell me how i can manage myself in a sense and gradually stop playing as often as i do. thanks

PC-lockdown.
Download a program that locks your PC at a given time.
Inform everyone you play with that your PC gets locked at a given time.
And while your PC is locked study and look for a job or watch some Playboy.

Programs wont do anything for you. You will always find a way to tell yourself that you should play longer. My suggestion is to go completely "cold turkey" for about two weeks. Turn PC off (unless homework requires it), turn all possibly sources to get on the internet off. Usually, that kills the addiction and you seriously see a change.

Just ask your parents (if you still life at your parents) to shut down the internet.

Or be real, do you really need this game? If you want to achieve things in live, you should get to action bro! (Says the one who has bad grades himself )

Or request a ban.

I wanna be rich, help me :cool:
