Addicting+Online+Games

Overview
Online gaming tends to be very addictive for a lot of people. The quality of design and how addicting it is are usually related. There are many different levels of gaming that people can choose from. There are simple, fun online games from sites such as addictingames.com. There are also high quality games that involve creating an avatar, such as “World of Warcraft.” Along with these levels of games come different levels of addiction.

There are many different types of online games. One type, probably the most serious type, is MMORPG. This stands for “Massively Multiplayer Online Role Playing Game.” These games involve creating an avatar, and a specific character that the player chooses to be. Through this character they can meet other online players and live in an online world. Another type of online gaming that is less intense would be sites that don’t require building characters or connecting with other players. These can be found on sites such as addictingames.com. These types of games allow people to play many different types of much shorter games. Other types of sites would be miniclip.com, or freeonlinegames.com. None of which require any registration or avatar building. The levels of these games may differ, but they both can be very addicting.

One site surrounding the issue of video game addiction claims there are “hooks” that get people to stay involved in the game. These involve wanting to reach the highest score or win the game, stepping into a different character, finding new things in a new world, and building connections with other players. Online games can be addictive to people of all ages. They make people want to continue playing. They can do this through motivation and telling the players new things will be available to them if they continue to play. They can also do this through community. The ability to connect with other players while playing a different character can be very interesting. It can also be addictive to stay in this online world and keep these connections.

People of all ages play all of these different types of games. However, they all have the potential to be very addictive, and pull people away from reality. Therefore, it is fine to enjoy playing these games, but it is also important that players do not let them take up too much of their time.
