So I was up at 3 AM this morning, partly from getting kicked in the groin by my sleeping son, and partly because I wanted some time online. Logged into Ryzom and tried to find my way around, when it struck me how, before I started MMOs, this type of behavior was odd for me.
Never been much of a party person, and even my gaming habits didn't keep me up all hours. But since I started playing MMOs, I've noticed that my sleep habits have, over the years, become more and more sparse. I'm up later than usual, and often, when I'm not up late, I'm up before the sun and the rest of the family, playing one game or another. No other genre has this type of hold on me.
What is it about MMOs that's so addictive, and such a time sink?
