To set the limits of the time spent in the game (Rappelz or other) is more difficult than it sounds... But yes, I think I could be disciplined, because I only want to play the game when I can&#039;t sleep. For example, I&#039;ve played five hours +/- throw this week, one day more another less, and the times are before the 12:00 PM. When I feel tired again, I stop playing and go to sleep.In &quot;real world&quot; I like to do my job, and also do archery, basket, computing, girls... :P I really think that if I can have more free time throw the day, I&#039;d stop playing rappelz and do that I really want to do... oh man! but the crisis made that my job requires all the time that I have.I don&#039;t know where should arrive the idea of the catalan community... but when I start something I want to do the best of me, and I&#039;ve don&#039;t seen anywhere a comunity in my language, for these I want to start one. Set me luck ;)Thank you for share your thinking. Sorry If it&#039;s difficult to understand what I write... I&#039;m not used to write in english.I&#039;ll follow reading your blog.

Don&#039;t worry about it, other than some minor clues there&#039;s not much info about the original language of the blog, so it is my bad -- trying to figure out a way to solve that.About the game, I think one can only guess how it will end up affecting you. It depends on how easily you become addicted, what can create an addiction for you, how purposeful your life is, what are the (real) reasons for playing, how disciplined you are,, how much you enjoy its reward cycles, and many other factors.What can help you be &quot;safe&quot; is to have clear boundaries for the time spent in the game. Because once the game becomes exciting and amazing (as it does after a certain level), it will be very (very) tempting to start investing more time in it. And if you give in to that temptation, a snowball effect starts and you end up in a situation similar to mine - 30 minutes/day this week, one hour the next, then four, five, etc.I believe that if you&#039;ll be able to discipline yourself to play for a limited time each day you most certainly won&#039;t feel like me in a few months. But that may prove to be more difficult than it sounds.The idea of starting something in-game is great by the way! :D But you have to be careful about that too, as it can grow and ask for more time by itself.Do you think you could be disciplined with the time you spend playing?</description> <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Hey!

Take a look if you want. I think if after working like a slave all day I do not have the time of half an hour for play I&#039;ll become crazy.Right now, I am a project of archer level 24 and took only two weeks of play.
