The problem with a long term addiction such as this involves the inundation of said....er, substance controlling every facet of your waking/gaming life. I personally have a long, Long, LONG list of games I've shelved after immediate purchase due entirely to extended play time with both PSO in all it's many forms and a little game called Marvel vs. Capcom 2.

The funny thing is both games I mentioned have easily exploitable glitches, various gamebreaking cheats, and long lasting play value. But I quit the arcade scene a year ago after proving my point in the latter game, and saw no need to continue playing in a world of contenders who see fit to use the same tired old tricks over and over again and never bother offering me a new challenge.

I guess PSO is similiar in that last aspect too, but....change "contenders" to "Sonic Team's laziness" and you get my drift....

I think Layrinn made the best point when I chatted with him online....it's the people, pure and simple. I prefer co-operative gameplay over competition any day of the week. The best times I've had gaming have been with my brother, Khaotika....

Now, realisitically, the DC veterans should all have probably moved on to other games by this point, but there's not much out there console wise that offers such rewarding times via cooperation amongst it's players.

With the burgeoning console MMORPG market set to take the world by storm, there's sure to be another awesome, time/life consuming addiction to take PSO's place. Now, if the game in question is filled with nothing but assholes and 10 year olds who scream obscenities at anyone within earshot, then I'll gladly take the game back to the retailer or snap it in half myself.

It's just like real life....it's better when you have people on the same wavelength promoting good times and harmony....folks who just want to get their game on and not be harrassed by the peons who just don't get it.

Now where's my No-Prize/Nobel Peace Prize/Cracker Jack Toy/Capsule Figure/40 kilos of pure grade??

Anyway, I was feeling rather sad since 95% of the people I played with on DC weren't coming back....I got to know some really cool people with this game, and now on the next generation I find myself surrounded by more individuals (mostly AT) who enjoy the people aspect of this liberation from one player mode into an online community filled with all kinds of gamers.

I'm still good for at least a month. Gotta get my characters to level 200 sometime soon....nice and legit like. Heh. Wish me luck....and sanity.
