I was thinking this for few days...have u ever realize that playing mmo may be slowing down our reaction? becoz inside the game there may be alot of things, but in real life we actually just sit there using only our finger to press button and mouse click...
Years ago I was playing console game like playstation or sega. They are games, but I didnt find out that playing them will slowing down my reaction, instead my reaction is getting faster and sensitive. The type of game that I played mostly shooting game, aircraft shooting, puzzle adventure and action. I remember once there is a ball accidentally thrown by a boy towards me, but I can react very fast by avoiding the ball hitting my face, that I think was the result of kept playing shooting game and I find out that I can easily solve any complicate matter easily because I know how to find the clue and spot, which I think also a result of kept playing puzzle adventure game.
Things change, now we have new toy in our hand, that is MMO. I been attracted by MMO since 2002, that time the first MMO I played was Ragnarok Online, a very popular cute graphic game which still popular until now. Its totally different than console that characters can grow and I can meet the real person in game worldwide, it has society interacting with people which console never can do. So MMO rise, and console starts to sink...
But for years I have been drowning myself in MMO, but I still can never be long time to play MMO, is because I cannot stay sitting there for day just point and click, I feel like my wholebody was aching, my eyes spinning and my arm is cramping, so I will logout and walk around, after that sit back and grind again. So keep on like that I never realize that actually Im not doing any exercise and just sit there for wholeday!
So what is the result? Well I can say now I become so lazy to move, my eyes react slow that even a fly pass through in front of me I didnt notice, Im not solving any complicating matter easy but instead even making it worst...What happen to me?
Im not saying console better or mmo better whatever, but Im trying to say is MMO is getting pointless nowadays, they didnt do any breakthrough but instead improving their grinding become more powerful grinding. Im not trying to stop any people to play MMO as I was one of them, but I hope that people can start to think out some new MMO which can benefit people's reaction instead making them sitting wholeday getting fat.
