recently, i am heavily involving myself to play an online game, maple story. it was very fun when i can get to play with my frenz, but rather addictive. i even went till the extend of having sleepless night trying to level up my hero, completing quests and get powerful weapons. within a period of 5 days, my hero is now level 27. i chose my hero as the class of warrior, so dat i can cover the short range weakness of my fren, dat is a bowman. holiday is the best time to indulge myself to all these interesting online games. also from the game, we can expose ourselves to a mytical world that only exist in the minds of ppl. rather than to blindly play this game, we can learn to appreciate the layout and plot crafted by the creators, and compare it with the other games dat we played b4. thru gaming, we have really seen how much games have improved, from the very simple black dots games to the fully coloured games, and from super nintendo set with blocky controllers to Xbox with stylish joysticks. behind each game, many ppl cannot see how much effort the programmer/s cracking their heads to design the programming code and pulling their hair to debug a code dat went wrong. then they have to play the game over and over again, to look for any possible runtime and logic errors. for those who have basic programming background, should be able to appreciate games better.

i know dat to some ppl, this game is quite childish but no matter how old we r, there will always exist a child in us. once in a while, we will let this child take over us to do childish things. i feel dat in life, we just do the things that we feel happy with and is right. never restrict ourselves by the opinions of others, as they dun know you as much as you know urself, provided you are clear with what you are doing and your stand.

however, this game will be just like a normal cycle in my life. once the interest is gone, all the effort i put in will only remind as my memories. for online games, i have tried other games like archmage, utopia, oil miner, neopets, vampire lord, gunbound and survival project so far. all these are just like passing phase of my life. once the interest diminished, i would not play it anymore and all i have will be memories. wat i foresee in future developement in games, there will not be any refreshing when we move from one location to another, everything will be delivered in a steamless flow. maybe, games will be able to understand the mood of the user too, they will become more like a frenz that just a machine to take in the button we press.

as wat i see so far, most online games have something in common. they fed on those with greed for more powers. onlines games are like placing a carrot infront of a donkey, so dat the donkey will move. so those who have lost urself to games are just like donkies and i'm one of them. while playing we may seem dat we are controling the game, but in actual fact, we are being controlled by it. also, some such games seems to cultivate ppl to gamble, so i feel dat it is not a gd thing to be taught to the young minds yet.

my suggestion is give it a try but do not lost urself to it. if u do, u must know when to pull urself out of this hole filled with temptations...
