Hello Everyone,
I wanted to come here and encourage you all by sharing my story of what I have achieved in real life since quitting the game.
1) Going back to the Gym, losing 20lbs, on target for 180 in 6 months!
2) I bought a new ford mustang (omg sooo nice) :rolleyes:
3) Setting up to buy my first house
4) Taking Skydiving lessons :eek:
5) Met a lovely young woman :cool:
This post is to encourage you all to do something better with yourself in 2015! Go out, throw a ball with your friends, go to see a movie, or go do something in the real world. Don't get sucked up into the virtual world! Live life my friends!
God Speed and best wishes!

Critical Hit, right on target...
Know the difference
It could save your life...
That is far too hard for people to do. Like getting a team together to do advanced queued missions.
Getting out and living life is overrated! haha j/k. Seriously though congrats on your accomplishments. There is more to life than MMOs. Unfortunately though for a lot of people, their game is their life and for them, I feel sad.
I'm rtk142 and I approve this message.

Looks like you have yet to achieve #6: waking up.
Once again Nabreeki hits right on target. I have personally have been playing in this game for over two years now, and in May, I will complete my Master's degree, Star Trek Online did not disrupt my real life.
anyways to me OP, only thing that brings any emotions up to remain connected to is through the computer and while i maybe 27, i already decided my actions and consequently the damage that is already done to myself, that cant be undone. you learn some hard lessons when your in the deep end.
as far as getting away from the computer, there is not much that is going for me out there, the government has me where they want me, trapped in a corner paying rent, bills and food shopping and nothing left for anything else other then a menial job paying tuppence national minimum wage. so unless i get lucky somewhere and win the lottery so i can see the world, retire to some nice tropical place where i can pick up women for some fun and whatever else, i dont see much chance of getting past wasting time with other things which doesnt change the underlying point, what difference does any of it make?
so there it is op, my sad little life, nor do i care to be noticed, just another sheeple making noises. :P
Been around since Dec 2010 on STO and bought LTS in Apr 2013 for STO.
Be careful where you say that one.
Your life can't have improved that much if you're back here looking for attention.
Live long and prosper, you sad sack.
Free Tibet!
Rarely if ever will I agree with Nabreeki, but in this case...
That makes 2 agreements in 30 days. Dammit, I must be getting weirder.
why would i want to go outside again when i have my virtual presence.

Hey now, it can take time to let these things go. For example it took me months to finally abandon the BioWare forums after the Mass Effect 3 ending fiasco that crushed my soul.

Was the OP bragging to us?
OR, was he justifying to himself?
And one other thing. Just how much time was he spending on this game if he got all that accomplished by not playing one game?
And I thought you were gonna say you got laid....hmm, maybe that's where point 5 comes in.
Then you have less time for all the other REAL life activities and the young woman ^^.
Enviable OP, keep it up.
Thanks, your post is motivating me to make 2015 a good year outside of STO.
