My opinion still stands strong. Sure, I don't care how others spend their time. If they want to play a MMO, okay. But being the maturnal person I am, I am ultimately concerned about their health and social life. In one MMO I played, my guild master was fired from his job because of the game(he would skip work to play). I watched the show Intervention and this guy was addicted to videogames. He played from the moment he woke up, to the minute he went to bed, if he went to bed. He almost lost all of his friends and his potential girlfriend for it. I'm not sure how things ended up in the end, they don't really show what happens after rehab, but I do know he decided to go to rehab for the girl.
Its not even death thats concerning, or addiction, its sleep deprivation, lack of eating, dehydration, lack of showering, playing til you practically knock yourself out.

I think this contest is almost asking or inspiring people to do this. I know.. we cannot blame the game. But.. with the speed some people play, like Ghostly, who has an excuse, those who really don't have an excuse will feel determined and obligated to go out of their norm and play obsessively to compete with those who can afford and have the physical stamina to play that much.

When I say it isn't worth it.. I think of stuff like that.
