No, it's not a charity. It's a videogame.

That's why people have no money and crime is so high, instead of getting a job they waste their time on useless games with mass weapons killing things.

What's more shocking is the total hours spent on the game online.

I have a son that wastes his time with these games and it's always a fight to get him to do his homework, but he'll spend 10 hours on the game if he could.

It go so bad, I have to enable router restrictions on time on his ip.

Guys, we are in the wrong business. ...that is shocking and awe inspiring. I wonder what the production costs were....what other business (legal or not) can you get that kind of a return on investment? ...ok, yes, domains, but not at that volume!!!

Bought the previous one and then discovered it had been hacked. It made playing online completely pointless. Seems this one has been hacked too. Anyway as far as I can see world of warcraft makes far more money than this - they have 12 million subscribers each paying at least $15 per month - that's a whopping $180,000,000 per month!

Before I started domaining I used to play a lot of MMORPGs. I started in late 90's with Ultima Online and some days I could play for 10-12 hours in one session! After I got tired of UO I started playing Final Fantasy XI: Online and finally World of Warcraft when it came out.. - Then I joined DNForum ...

I still play a lot of console/computer games, but I never play any MMORPGs. They're fun, but waaaay too addictive and I simply don't have time to spend hours a day playing games anymore.

Years ago when Lineage 2 came out, I used to have 24-36 hour gaming sessions, no sleep, no food breaks etc... Didn't go to school for days.

That's a shame lol.

Ten years ago, I was addicted to The Sims. Haven't picked up on video/computer games since. Prefer real life board games played with family members. Even then I tire of the game quickly.

I apply the same passionate work ethic to domains now.
