I personally have problems with both MMORPGs, and Pay to Play games, so I have never played it. But I could see how it could be addictive to some people.

I played Everquest for about a year and a half, and while I had a lot of fun and got into the game a lot but never found it even close to that addictive, both of these mothers are sick.

i read somewhere that someone had an online relationship with someone while playing everquest later when she (or it could have been he...) dumped the kid, he became so depressed he took his own life...that a little odd- i have played everquest and i just dont see what that game has that a game that is free like diablo or neverwinter nights doesnt- i agree with grey that i dont like the pay to play games- why spend 50 bucks on a game, only to waste 15-30 more bucks a month to play it- thats not my definition of fun

I'm guessing one of the boys told his parents, who got the mom arrested.
I find this funny:
The woman's son said he was embarrassed by her actions, police said.
"Aw geez, mom, not again!"

The only suicide I know of was by a kid who was also a schizo(sp?) News rarely says that part though... I could see someone who was very sick getting much too invovled in that game.

i can't complain about EQ. i met this girl whose boyfriend was obsessed with the game. Her relationship with him got worse, while her relationship with me got better. Thanks EQ!

Eh, suicide is stupid. And no matter what anyone here says, schizophrenia is not an excuse.

Well this was a while ago in either Milwaukee or Chicago, but the parents keep their child in a cage in the basement. It was all over the news.
