Yep, thats right…
A group of high-leveled FFXI players tried to kick some boss ass called “Pandemonium Warden” for 18 hours yet they couldn’t…
To me, it means few things:
* MMORPG players are mostly lifeless… I mean, even the Square-Enix guys are warning you not to play alot
* MMORPG games likes to torture and ruin lives… We’re human… We can barely resist our desires
* Those high-leveled players should’ve gathered more players
* This “Pandemonium Warden” boss thingy shouldn’t be faught unless Square-Enix do something about it!!!
Yet I’m sure alot of Kuwaiti MMORPG-Freeks would try to do something similar if not riskier… We have such crazy lifeless people in here >_<

This might be the understatement of the century, my friend!
I personally knew people (I say “knew” in the past tense because I’ve long since cut-off my ties to these idiots) who used to go on outrageous streaks of FFXI gaming. There’s a gaming cafe called Eclipse in Salmiyah, and the bastard owner had this special very low-priced 24-hour option. The catch was that you had to take it all or leave; if you disconnect in the middle your password would expire and you’d have to pay for another period of time. Long story short, the idiots I used to know would keep playing, and when they were on the verge of collapsing they’d call some of their friends to take their spot while they rest in their cars outside for a few hours and then return to continue playing!!!
An even bigger idiot that I used to know went the extra mile. He got a temporary suspension from his university studies because he wanted to focus on the MMO he was playing at the time! One or two academic semesters down the drain, and a year or so of his life wasted just to level-up his character and get some rare items…
Needless to say I had never played an MMO before, and seeing such acts of stupidity firsthand convinced me never to take part in one in the future 🙂
Well… I wouldn’t be surprised if someone had this “three days non-sleeping marathon” of coding just to finish a program without sleeping at all… because (this happens to me sometimes) when people sleep and their mind is active, they have weird dreams or just wont be able to sleep…
but gaming? this sucks… and sad… I wonder how’d they tell their kids in the future =P
you are the last one to talk about people playing MMO’s vash, since you play one too now..
you’re going to be as bad. just not 18 hours bad ..
Madao i was a WoW addict, but the nice thing is.. i get bored easily, so the first month till i got to 60, yeah i was playing a shitload, reading the lore(which NOBODY does these days).. and exploring ..
when i got to 60, all the fun was sucked out and i played way less..
cant wait to get back to wow for the expansion <3
EVE IS NOT MMORPG!!! its just MMO =P and I’m not as nuts as you guys
