...passend zum Thema: When Playing an MMORPG Becomes a Job

You play World of Warcraft, night after night, going on quest after quest, killing monster after monster and then it happens. You finally reach the pinnacle of power ... level 60! Finally! Your days of endless grinding and running the level treadmill are over! Or so you thought ... oh no, once you get to level 60 your work really begins!

In dem aktuellen "The Escapist" Online-Mag geht`s diesmal um das Thema Spielesucht. Besonders lesenwert für alle Hardcore-Zocker out there (zu denen ich mich (leider?) auch zählen darf) sind die Artikel "Despite all our games" und "One Fateful Semester".

Despite all our games, we're still just rats in a cage, mashing levers and taking pellets or mashing the space bar and gaining levels. On its own, this isn't particularly harmful, but some grow to enjoy the pleasure surge of accomplishment more than they enjoy anything else. Studies have shown, if every press of the lever gives the rat a jolt of pleasure, he'll keep mashing the lever until he's completely exhausted. Some gamers get caught in a Skinner box of their own design, and keep leaping on the lever until their only friends have guild tags after their name and the whole house smells funny.
