    Default The Story of an ADDICT: This game consumes me. Every night I promise not to play it.

    Ok, so I am leveled and geared out and have been. I have 3 jobs and get little sleep. I have 3 kids and well yeah. So every night when I get off my mini graveyard at 5:30 in the morn I say I promise I am going straight to bed. And every single night I find myself playing this dang game. I uninstalled WOW many many years ago and never EVER bought another MMORPG again. Well, then all this smart phone stuff comes out and I come across a little game called POCKET LEGENDS. and an ADDICT was born......

    PL I don't find addicting... I choose when I would like to play, what friends I want to talk to, and if I feel like going into a dungeon, I havent been into any dungeons in weeks. I simply get on to check with friends. HOWEVER update is Tomarrow! To bad I have a football game after skull, anyways I'm going to force myself to level . Okay enough of my rambling I'm bad about it.

    Yeah, I have my writing style at advanced now, so I don't ever need to write in BB code, and the next letter after each link is like that.

    Similar story here. I played WoW, Vanguard, Eq2, D&D online, Matrix online & a few others intently for years. I'm grown & work a lot as well. Retired from all MMOs until I found this portable little gem called Pocket Legends. Never thought Is play another MMO but the portability has me stuck

    Same exact story down to the games and everything, infact I grew up in Alaska for the most part. What city do you live in?

    lmaooooo!! almost the story of my life.... my girl seems so understanding in the evenings and she has her games she plays, too.. but im pretty sure deep down inside she's probably like... "i hate that stupid stupid tablet. i wish he never bought that stupid thing and got that stupid game. stupid stupid stupid."
