Ereviewguide.com Helps MMORPG Players Balance Their Lives

(Bellevue CA, 04/19/12) – There are only 24 hours in a day. Regardless of how rich you are, how poor you are, how athletic you are or how good looking you are, you are still given the same amount of time as the next person. Time is very precious. What is a more important project to do with one’s life than to invest one’s time wisely? Unfortunately, there are many parts of our personal lives that clamor for that time. It is a question really of priorities and of setting the right balance.

Life thrown out of balance

With the rise of highly addictive games like MMORPGs, many persons’ lives have been thrown out of balance because MMORPGs are very addictive. They can easily swallow up your life. Spending 8 hours to 16 hours playing this game continuously is not unheard of. Unfortunately, time requirements by loved ones and relationships, and time requirements by jobs and school have to be dealt with. Ereviewguide.com, the internet’s leading authority website on consumer and technology issues and software guide, has released a life balance guide located at http://www.ereviewguide.com/news/2012/04/17/how-to-balance-mmorpg-time-and-real-life/. The guide helps MMORPG players confront life balance issues that they encounter with MMORPGs.

Get your life balance back

“It may sound trivial, but MMORPGs can easily throw a person’s life out of balance. It is not really the nature of the activity that matters. What matters is that a person’s priorities and life balance is thrown out of whack,” said Oliver Thompson, media relations officer. Indeed whether it is a game, an addiction or any other activity, a person’s life can be thrown out of balance when too much time is devoted towards that one activity.

There are three key factors in a person’s life that competes for a person’s time. These are relationships (both to other people and also to ideals and aspirations), duties and responsibilities (for example, employment or school) and leisure activities (for example, MMORPGs). Since we only have a finite amount of time, we have to allocate it effectively and efficiently among these three categories. Since people differ greatly from each other in terms of values, aspirations and world view, ereviewguide.com’s guide takes this reality and factors it into the guide. “Instead of ramming our values down the throats of our guide readers, we keep them in control by configuring the guide in such a way that they are in control of following its steps and advice so that it makes sense in their own personal life,” said Oliver Thompson.

What makes sense to one person may not make sense to another person because each person’s world is different. What is required is a higher sense of personal honesty, so priorities can be properly set. MMORPGs need not be a threat to one’s life balance. Indeed it can be used as a reward. Ereviewguide.com works with MMORPG playing instead of against it to produce the balance each and every individual requires.

Ereviewguide.com Steps Consumers through the Wonderful World of MMORPGs

(Bellevue CA, 04/04/12) – World of Warcraft has truly exploded the market for massively multiplayer online role playing games.  World of Warcraft remains the gold standard for how MMORPGs should work or should be branded.  However, its business model is facing a grave threat recently.  With the rise of the competing free to play business model, many MMORPG players are seeing less value in paying a monthly subscription fee to a game provider when they can play in a similar system somewhere else for free.

Free to play versus paid subscription

There is quite a lot of confusion regarding the two big competing business models in the MMORPG marketplace–free to play and paid subscription.  Ereviewguide.com has released an MMORPG consumer guide that steps through the intricate issues and advantages and disadvantages of both these competing business models.  The guide is located at http://www.ereviewguide.com/news/2012/04/02/massively-multiplayer-online-role-playing-games-consumer-guide/.  “The old saying of you get what you pay for does not necessarily apply to MMORPGs.  However, emphasis is on the word necessarily,” said Oliver Thompson, media relations officer for ereviewguide.com, the internet’s leading authority website for consumer and technology issues, guides and references.

Know the disadvantages and advantages

It is true that free to play games do offer a lot of value.  However, value is relative and also value is the result of competing considerations and opportunity costs that gamers would have to navigate through in order for them to make an informed decision as to what particular game has enough value for them to invest their time or if they choose paid subscription game, their money.

“While the free to play game model looks on its face like a good deal, it may not turn out to be what you expect,” said Thompson.  While there are many advantages enjoyed by free to play games mainly revolving around their price, there are also disadvantages as well.  Ereviewguide.com has outlined these key disadvantages and some of them could be actual deal killers for would-be players of paid subscription games.  “Paid subscription games are not off the hook completely either,” said Thompson.  There are certain systematic flaws in the paid subscription business model that can get in the way of fulfilling user experience.

The question is that is there a balance that could be struck somewhere?  The guide steps through all the advantages and disadvantages of both business models so consumers can make an informed choice regarding which game they choose to install and play.
