The return of the Cravings...

Oh I thought I was free and clear and totally over it...

I'm not. It's thanksgiving season and I just know that all of my DR friends, in many respects I consider them all to be a massive part of my online family. I recently figured out that 'we' being all of us kids who started playing DragonRealms are all about the same age range of 11-18 when we started playing. Imagine that, an entire online family of teenagers who came together to play an online game, to hang out, roleplay, josh around with jokes and generally just try to have fun together as a massive online community.

When I was younger I never suspected that 90% of those I was interacting with were actually MY age! We all come together on Thanksgiving, on Christmas then we start to drift away back to our normal lives by mid-January. It's a massive family reunion online, all 3,500 of us.

It's not the game that makes a game worth it. It's establishing yourself within a community, one that accepts and loves you for the part you play within it. That's what drives the cravings I now believe. I don't know if it's anything I could ever defeat, or if I should just accept this and start showing up regularly for 3 months every year.
