Sorry for bad english it is not my first language. I played pimd and kaw first every day ever since it started. I didn't realize but it took over my life. I had to hit every 5 minutes, lose sleep from wars and get frustrated when drama happened. I knew it was a game but I was too addicted. I was very popular on kaw and later pimd but my real life sucked. nothing bad happened its just that all my effort was into these games. I saw many adults have relationships. they thought they were different from the people using the games for dirty things. they thought they were somehow making it real and that the people they knew were there real friends. I was one of those people. I even thought i had a girlfriend on pimd. we had real feelings for eachother and always said it was real. but it turns out that it wasnt. in the real world we would maybe say we were seeing somebody or it was long distance but it wasnt. we were pretending and it would never go anywhere, even though we talked about meeting all the time. I was feeling bad and decided to download pimd again to see what has changed. even though the wars are gone and the parties are different.. nothing has changed. i see the same people, the same people datinh under new names, the same popular players. after years of this and they still play. I realized how good it was that i stopped playing. since i stopped playing all the time and ended my online relationships that part of me still feels are real, I have made my life so much better for myself. i have a child on its way with the girl of my dreams. any day i feel like i could wake up from this dream and be back to being addicted to playing these games online. it really scares me that this could happen. i just want all of you to know that still play.you can do so much better. the game itself isnt bad but many of you are just like i was. I see people i used to really love and am afraid for them. they could be making real memories but instead are here. in 10 years you wont remember anything from here. you wont tell your kids about that cool war or that time you became a mod. you will tell them how you met your wife or how you got your dream job. you could be doing something better right now. i wish my old friends could realize this before any more tike is wasted. i care about you all
Well said. This game may have went to shit but the people here are real and we all make connections here with a lot of people. The "relationships" mostly will never work out, unless two people really commit to them, but the friendships last forever. Congrats op on the baby girl, wish her a happy life
haha i actually do not know if it is a boy or girl yet i am waiting on that but thank you i know what was meant. i appreciate what you had to say
Substance. Something that is severely lacking on here... I totally agree with you in many respects and hope you are happy, congrats on the baby etc
This is exactly how I've been feeling ever since I stopped using this app religiously. Congrats to you! The outside world is definitely better.
I did the same thing tho. This thread is inspirational.Yeah i know this game is very addictive and i admit that i focused on this game half a year but then ive realized that ive been wasting the rest of my time here playing and doesnt think about myself that much, i got lower grades, lack of interaction and most of all i didnt have time to talk to my family. I decided to stop. And my life got better now. I can now spend the rest of my time with my family, i got a lot of time to study and socialize with other. Time is precious. Value every second of it rather than wasting it. Instead, focus on your life and think about your future -P.S im not saying that you stop playing but dont spend the rest of ur time here. Btw, im only 16 and now a proud honorable student in my school. Thank you. Im just saying not hating :')
Smarty pants, how doesn't it make sense? It stands for Assension, not the "a" instead of "an" I'm assuming you mean. Mandi-_ Assension_-Obsession. Makes sense to me. Hope that cleared it up for you.
