My Time is Mine

Syp is rethinking his gaming habits, which currently involve bouncing between several MMOs each evening. It was interesting to see in the comment section how different people approach their gaming time. In Syp's case, his game time is at least partly reflective of his status as an editor for Massively. For most of us, it's fully a leisure activity

In my case, given that it is my leisure time, I tend to devote myself to a game as long as it holds my interest. My posts reflect that interest, I am sure. So, for example, while I am still very much interested and involved with TSW, for the past week or so, I've been spending almost all my game time in Rift.

Why? Because of the shiny Dimensions. I promise not to turn this into a plug for those again. Suffice it to say that is what's holding my interest right now. I'm playing Barbie dream house. Eventually that excitement will subside, I suspect. I plan to return to TSW; it's been a consistent winner in my book.

So I binge on different games here and there. The point is I want to have fun. Therefore I will play (and blog about) what strikes my fancy—today. Tomorrow, it might be something different.

  1. Exactly how I game, though I do wish there were more hours in the day because more than one game tends to hold my attention at a time!

    1. Agreed, or maybe if I could make just as much money while not actually being at work for so much of the day. ;P

  2. Between being able to dress up my lowbie alts in matching sets of armor according to their class/soul and now having two dimensions, and everything being so amazingly accessible...my MMO is Rift. It's totally blown every other one out of the water for me. Plus my guild happens to be amazing ;)

    1. I loved the dye system even before the outfits. The guild *is* amazing. All thanks to Belghast. I'm a newbie to House Stalwart myself.
