addiction to computer games...

Ragnarok is battle at the end of the world in Norse Mythology. As time game title says, the game has some traces of Norse mythology.

During our sophomore year, Nico Martin Eñego and Paul Andrew Gutib introduced me to the game before the christmas vacation. At first, I asked a lot about the game. When I got the hang of it, I played it until majority of my money is spent. It needs load to play(it is a pay-to-play game). Now, I can't think of a reason why I got addicted to it. Maybe it was the graphics, or because it was fun.

My reason for playing computer games is that it doesn't only be fun to me, it is also my anger output. It is where I let my anger out. In Ragnarok Online (RO), your character kills monsters and get experience points so that they level up. I release my anger on every monster that I fight.

I think that was my first reason for playing it. I got better. When a person gets better, he wants to be better once more. So I created another account and started all over again. In my first account, my character was a hunter, the 2nd Job class of an archer. I think I name that character as 'danhenry09' or something else. Then when I created another account, I created a rogue, the 2nd Job class of a theif. Its name was '=manununggab='. In that account, I had 5 characters. I only remember the rogue because it was the character the I concentrated levelling up. I think it is already level 82. It is very difficult levelling up in this level because it needs a quite large experience points to level up.

I grew tired of the slow levelling up that I created 4 more characters in that account (1 account supports 5 characters). I anjoyed a little. But came to the difficult levels again. I soon realized that I spent about Php 800.00 on that account. (My first account was about Php 2000.00 because I had to rent a computer in an internet cafe because I didn't have a CD. That character was only about level 58).

I stopped because I have better things to spend for than just a computer game.

And again, I was introduced to another computer game. But it no longer needed load to play. I think it were Byron Douglas Enriquez and Robert Opone who introduced me to this game. It was midway in third year high school that they introduced me to the game. The game was DotA (Defense of the Ancients). More violence. My first game was quite bad. I was like a stray lamb waiting for a wolf to eat me. I was that bad. After many games, I raised my game a notch or two. I became better at it. I was now the wolf, but no one is the lamb. We played after classes. My savings really suffered because they were very small.

Now in the fourth year, I found no reason to continue at being addicted to computer games. Now I control myself from playing computer games.

Eventhough my savings are still little, at least I spent it on food and neccessary payments.
