Gaming and Addiction

How do you define addiction?

The Conventions of the MMO

There are a few conventions of the MMO genre. Things like a quest system, combat, and a chat interaction between players.

Maturity in the MMO

In the brief history of the MMO there has been a strong effort to keep the content at a child safe level. Which, by itself is neither good nor bad. Children should be able to play online games, and their parents should- with a little investigation on their part- be reasonably confident their offspring are not being exposed to inappropriate material.

However, I should add you have not been cussed at until you've been chewed ou…
