Are online games like ragnarok, m.u, world of warcraft good for your health?
Those games can be very problematic. You almost always spending too much time on them. And when you are not playing them they are in your thoughts quite a bit, so yes your personal and secular life could get damaged.

Reply:There are certainly tons of players who are attending school or working a job. As long as you don't overplay, I think taking a break and flexing our game instincts is fun and relaxing.
Reply:if played in moderation they are fine. there are little tips on the start up screen of world of warcraft and a couple of them even advise of moderation in playing the game. it is easy to loose track of time, but any sort of self control will keep you from playing to much. in WoW there are cases that can teach leadership skills, teamwork, and ive even found im better at reading maps now that i have to figure out the lay of the land in WoW. so, once again, the key is moderation. there is a lot to learn if you play them right.
Reply:Of course ppl can abuse the games, but I think the majority of ppl use them to reduce stress and relax, which is good for you, so overall, I'd say the answer is yes.
Reply:ok, they are just ok when you play with moderation the thing is they can't be olayed that way. This kind of games are addicting you just can't stop playing until you level more and more. I used to play Wo with my two best friends. It was awesome like going around us three leveling and all then we started to play 9,14,20 hours a day we wouldnt eat we wouldn't go outside, we wouldn't even take a bath. We'd call each other to talk while we played. We all dropped our grades. In skool all we would do is talk about World of Warcraft. We spent all oyr money in the game. $25 the game $35 game card $45 Burning Crusade $40 guides $35 other game card. We reached lvl 70 but then i stoped playing when my it expired. they eventually stoped two. I seriously say that you shouldn't even start. It;s awesome and all but it's super addicting.
Reply:NO! My soon-to-be ex-husb. is addicted to WOW and would even take off work to play for 9hrs straight! He pushed his 1 yr old daughter away when she wanted his attention and just put on headset to talk to the other players in his guild! NOT A GOOD THING!
Reply:They can be. I've played/play quite a few online games. The thing that has to be remembered is moderation. People have to remember that the world is still happening around them while they play, and that the game cannot take up all their time or they'll become obsessive over the game. It's kind of shocking how far people take games. It's why there's bad publicity around for games. Addiction to games is only in ones mind...they have to get over it and go on with their lives. Sure games can be a part of it, but not the whole reason you live. Living to just sit at home and play WoW is a horrible life, and should not be lived by anyone. Play it sure, but take it in moderation (in fact at one of the loading screens in WoW Blizzard TELLS you to do this!). Playing it 24/7 will cause you to lose all in the outside world that may be precious to you.
Reply:Well, my bro-in-law wouldn't get a job until he made it to level 60 on WoW. He made it, and he still wouldn't get a job because he wanted to play all the time. They moved up to MN. He had a job, but then he never wanted to work because he wanted to play that all the time. My sister is pregnant, and he doesn't have a job, yet again. You tell me.


This is an extreme example. If you play in moderation, they are fine. But you must keep in mind you also need physical activity. It is very easy to become addicted to them.
Reply:Yes, if you play it anytime....
Reply:It's not good in our health because sometimes in our school we forget to recess just to save money to play online games. But not all online games are bad some are educational.
