I have played a lot of online games, eaven world of warcraft. But there seem that all online games doesent have an end. So you can just play and play, but never get finish. So, is it a waste of time to play online, or should i maybe play roleplaying based games. I'm 15 so i just think about i will move out about like 8 years or so i think..not quite sure. Therefore i think that i will never finish an online game annyway, get to the highest lv and etc. Anny ideas?

I kinda think that online games are a waste of time, but maybe it's because I don't play online games. When I think about it, it is kind of pointless to play a game that never ends. But, online games are just for enjoyment to me.
I play console games(PS1, PS2, PS3) and I think that they are more worth your time because they have a story and I think that they have more meaning to them.

Your question is a bit puzzling. Basis RPG's usually do have an end to them. (Though they quite often "leave the door open" for another game to follow in the series.) I enjoyed the game Diablo 2. It had an end to it. It is the MMORPGs that don't ever end. I tend to agree with you that games without some kind of end to them seem pointless in a way. I raised a similar question to yours a while back in Yahoo Answers but got only one response. I haven't had a whole lot of experience with MMORPGs other than that silly Runescape game, so maybe I am not in some kind of "experienced" position to really answer your question accurately. I have pretty much decided I don't care that much for role-playing games in general, whether they are of the stand alone, or the on-line variety, though. It does seem like your time could be better spent than devoting hours and hours leveling up your character in such games. But I guess it is like the others are saying. It is just some form of entertainment for the moment. (It does beat that reality TV nonsense that has taken over television these days) I prefer the action genre of games myself. It seems like you get more bang for the buck with them. (with bang being the amount of time you put into them, and buck being what you get back in return in the way of fun). Consider switching to them.

Yes it IS a waste of time it's just that people want to play and show aff after they have the best lvl like in Runscape, people show off saying "look am better than you, hahaha i can kill u with a single shot, i say just relaxe and forget about online games, my mum has decreaced my plaing time from 3hours evry day now i only play 2hrs in the weekends, doesnt matter if u play a litle as long as u dont get into it and get addicted

well you bring a good point but the main reason people play online games is to kill time and just have fun the reason for no endings is because it leaves people to continue to play because there ar an infinente amount of things you can do in the game
