    You take this game too seriously when you feel justified to bully, harass, kick from your squad people who are still learning how to play just because "you don't have time to loose with noobs".

    Jerks are jerks, no matter if they act in real life or in a game.

    And of course, you take this game too seriously when you start to hacking accounts, stealing items for real life currency, and you refuse to find a job because you rather to stay in PW.

    I hate the phrase, "It's just a game."

    If you put time, money and effort into something I think you've earned the right to get upset, frustrated, angry, happy, excited, ect. about it. Anything less and I might think you a robot. And I have to wonder if the people who say such things have forgotten that while the 'character' they're talking to is just pixels, there is an actual human controlling it. MMOs are not just games, they're communities where you interact with people through the guise of a character in a game. That is, and likely always will be the appeal of an MMO. As you play you meet people, make friends and enemies; form relationships with others. At that point, how can you justify calling it, "Just a game."

    I agree, it's like people forget others have feelings as they do.

    Well, this reminds me of what someone once said in another MMO

    "If you spend a few hours a day in a game for a few years how can you say its not part of your life?"

    You can turn off the computer, but one can never just turn off ones emotions, good or bad. And if you feel no emotions, then that must be an empty life.

    just wanted to say this.
    I totally agree with this!

    Taking the game too seriously is when someone (who has no knowledge of your perfect world name) mentions your character name in real life, and you respond to it...or prepare to respond. Lol.

    Lol, I've nearly done this, but my Cleric name is a name I use in role plays a lot, so that may be why.

    I have to agree with a couple of the others here. Telling someone you love them when you just met (or have never met, due to perfect match), is too far, and this has happened to me a lot, or someone pming you to solicit you, also happened to me. That's really a whole other issue entirely, but I still think it fits with the taking things to seriously.....WAY TO SERIOUSLY!

    sometimes i just dont know...

    sometimes i think its the time they spend on PWI. But then again, our own free time isnt exactly the universal basis of normal time and there are pple who just tend to have ALOT of free time.

    sometimes i think its reactions. But then again everyone has a different patience span and it differs on subjects. Again im not the universal basis so i cant say.

    Buying zhen? nope. Some pple are just richer than others, a fact we have to deal with. What we call a luxury could just be a trifle to them. Like us buying a can of coke or something lol.

    Conclusion: I dont know lol.

    omg this game is FULL of "too serious" peoples. I think you are taking the game WAY too seriously if:

    1. you consider in game marriage to be ACTUAL marriage. personal experience with several young stalker women wanting the same guy and won't let me off the hook until they KNOW that "our love is the real thing." And I had these stalkers for about 2-3 months. We just wanted the marriage quests. JESUS H. CHRIST, PEOPLE. b:surrender

    2. When you get pissed at a noob tank or cleric for not knowing how to do said dungeon/tw/etc or dying in said dungeon/tw/etc. Yeah, he's just gonna keep on dying until someone explains or until he gets it. Kicking him out of the squad and/or telling WC that he's a fail ___ and that you shouldn't invite him into your squad isn't going to help that new player learn. If you are one of these people,...well...then *** you.

    3. You think that anyone with r9rr is a rich snob and doesn't deserve their gear.

    4. Someone leaving your faction without saying so deserves to be talked **** about behind their back.

    5. You think that the people in World Chat actually do CARE about your problems

    6. You **** someone's account cuz he pked you,hes a fail,"I deserve this",or you're lazy as hell

    When someone thinks hes a big number because he has "OMG endgame gear +12 !!!!!!" and because can say "OMG i oneshotted you so pro !!!". And yet reaches nothing in real life and didnt even bother to learn manners. Its okay to feel proud somewhat if you are good in playing a game, but youre taking to WAY to seriously if you think your r9rr, pk-kills or dungeons you can solo makes you a better person in real life.

    The same with knowledge. You may know how the game works, but this alone doesnt make you a smart person. People need to seperate this game with their reali lifes.

    When someone holds you in game and you have two people pming you about it. I don't take embracing seriously. It's pixels..but to tell me that Person C saw me being held and then told Person A about it..and then having to check it out for yourself AND THEN having Person B question me about my relationship with the person who was holding me is crazy.

    It's probably why I stopped playing, I don't want to get into drama, I'm over it in general, and don't want to feel like I'm being watched.
