It can be tough for awhile but time erases things relatively quickly. You just have to move on to somewhere else and pretty soon your mind is otherwise occupied. I spent years on Ragnarok Online and years on WoW but breaking away wasn't really that hard. Actually, I find myself thinking of the chat-room where I spent my first years online even more. I wonder what those people are doing now. The toughest thing is feeling like you're wasting your investments of time and effort. I always become wealthy in any MMO I play, so leaving my cash and valuables behind sort of stings. I wish I could build interest on it while I'm away, that might entice me to come back at some point. Actually, I took some pretty strong pain medication a little while ago so I'm not really sure what I'm saying.

Here, I'm going to bed, so look at this.  It's my favorite thing in the world right now.

That's actually really sad. (Genuine sadness, not pathetic-sad).

Hopefully they can find a suitable alternative to keep their connection.
