It did, i probably lost like 3 years between middle school and high school, cuz i was to busy playing irl, also i lost many xmas with family reunions, cuz i prefer to stay at home playing the fking game grinding, the shit out of my character, for nothing cuz i was to hyped to be a part of a war that we lost, lol, its an addicting feeling, i was the type of player that when i die and lost my loot i got more and more enraged and engaged to get my lvls and items back, so i was being unhealthy about it, eating less i was skinny af, sleeping shit, and didnt make alot of friends between that age, it was until the launch of the new skull system when i say fk it, and retired, prolly the best thing i did for my life, im still a nerd though, i come back time to time to play old school server 7.4, cuz im addicted to that feeling and that reward u get when u go pvp and kill someone or grind a mage in a tomb and PA the shit out of players, its a gambling state, but now atleast i can just pay a minority to grind my char and war with it for a while until i get bored, i despide and got a feeling of nostalgia when i was in middle-high school, cuz of this game, but hey atleast i didnt do drugs or became an unemployed not funtional guy from society, HEH!
