The reasons I don't play online games...

Throughout the last few years, MMORPGs have gained massive popularity...lots of my friends are playing and wanted me to join...From the old Ragnarok, Jin Yong Heroes Online (Chinese), Maple Story, Fairyland to the massive World of Warcraft...

I've tried some MMORPG before, but they never get to me...for a couple of reasons I saw recently on a forum. (which is when I discover they're exactly the same reasons why I don't play).

1) You generally have to pay a fee (at least for MMORPGs) and I feel that once I've bought a game I shouldn't have to incur additional costs to play it.

2) When I did play online, it often become too addictive. I like to be able to turn off the games when necessary without being in the position of letting teammates down. I can already feel this from just playing simple games like Warcraft (Like promising them I'll be joining in for a clan battle) etc...It sorts of become like an extra burden on me. When I play single player, I have the power to start and stop whenever I want.

Heh...It's hard to say whether I'll play MMORPG in the future, but currently I don't see myself doing that...
