It's the human interaction that comes along with online games that makes them be deemed more "addictive" because people can get so enveloped in a game that they are better friends with the players on a game than they are with people in real life. If you think I'm kidding, you're obviously not as addicted to mudding as I am. The old use and abuse... I definitely fall in the abuse category. I used to skip classes in High School to go to the library and play a MUD or code on one.
