Playing mmorpg online games can get players over night hook.

OK, today in this post I am going to say how playing mmorpg gaming can get hook players overnight.

I will take you through a story for this instead :)

Once there was a boy started his massively multiplayer gaming expedition with an mmo roleplaying online game called RAGNAROK ONLINE.

He played it for a quite a while and this continued for quite number of weeks to days followed by months. In the course of time he got so much hooked to play the game that he started leaving his food, forgot nature calls.

After six months juncture of gaming online he got so much hooked that he could not even leave without thinking about it. Time followed as he even more crash landed into playing online game Ragnarok Online here though:). He was so much into the game that he would not even think anything apart from it. Dreaming, eating, mating, morning works all revolved and centered around it.

In the meanwhile even without his knowledge the taste of this grown so much that he started fighting with his family members to allow him to continue to play online games. Somehow hook or crook he wanted to play which he got abruptly and he continued his gaming expedition so much that neither or night made no difference to him. He started to only opt for people who were in the same line as he.

He started bunking or leaving college between the routine hours running away to cyber gaming cafes nearby just to play online games errr Ragnarok Online here:)

He later finding his co gamers submerged into other online games he sooner drifted playing them though keeping his current expedition on the way. Shifting.
to other gaming cafes around the city became a part of his routine not to mention the money he spent and yet finding lonely everywhere.

This continued for years to come.
One day he found that his expedition is about to end as his primary mmorpg online game server was about to be officially closed forever and this toiled around him so much that he was about to fall dizzy.

As time unfolded he shuffled around many genre of internet games and finally not finding any hope nor any mmo even coming closer to the primary one he ramped across different internet gaming cafes. Upon lurking for weeks he later found that everyone had he saw playing online games had quit and nobody were coming anymore as they had better business to do in life. This changed his mind drastically.

He applied for Gaming jobs in job portals but no hope, most of the calls landed to him were offered so less salary that did not come closer to the time and amount of money he used to spent for playing online games.

Find no hope, discouraged by this despite being a Bachelor Graduate he could not venture into any jobs neither did his gaming experience do any good.

Turning around bushes he rammed from industry to industry types, finally about three years later got into BPO/Call Center job even though the pay was enormously lower for the work he did and the money he had spent for the gaming expedition!

None, practically none of the BPO/Call Center companies suited him, he jumped, took break again and again he got new opportunities but with lower payments. Unable to sustain with this he wasted his life.
Having experience for around Six years of work experience in hand he walked into every interview as a Fresher or a entry level employee. Many turned him down, some ridiculed at him. Roaming all around the city attending interviews at recruitment agencies, job consultancies, man power agencies, HR houses, direct walk in to companies brought in another expenditure into his life.

He did not even find a job that came closer to his satisfaction there was vast sea like gap between him and the organisations he was working in. He tried for leadership positions, manger positions for which he did not even get a heed.

Finding no hope of life his journey still continues…

So now I have explained with an example how playing online games will get players hooked into them with a live story like example.
