I have had friends that disappeared for a year or more in the worlds of MORPGs... Some of them trailed huge debts, or were otherwise plain bankrupt in important areas of their lives, like having lost all sense of social interactions and social skills, or any kind of sense of direction in life.
To me, it seemed a bit like going on cocaine (in level of addiction and the consequences it had for those that took part) and I don't need that. Of course there are those that can use without abuse, and more power to them, but in this case, I rather doubted my own ability to be found among them.
So I have never done those huge online things.
It's only after we've lost everything, that we are free to do anything.
