Ended Addiction

Yes, I finally quit MouseHunt. If anyone was wondering what MouseHunt actually is, it is a game on FaceBook where you click on a virtual image of a horn every fifteen minutes and check if you have caught any mice. Why did I quit. Basically, I began to find the game boring for the past two to three weeks and I went online on FaceBook less often. Also, I realised that playing games is a really bad thing for me, proven by my MSG in Term 1 -- 3.0, which is far below expectation. I took a rather long time before coming to a decision to quit the game. Reasons being that I was of the highest ranking in class, not too bad actually, and my game account seemed to have the most resources needed for the game.

The quitting procedure was quick and nice, no hesitating and nothing. I just told myself that quit and everything would still be the same, no more game addiction of course. To prevent myself from actually playing again, I gave my entire account away to Zhi Xin, I wonder how is he doing having total control over my account. The account password was changed and life went on as usual, no side effects like quitting a drug addiction. Another reason for me quitting is because I started playing another game, in moderation, called Maplestory. The game did not make me become addicted, since self-control was in operation. The game is perfectly fine to me, even Martin, Justin, Jim and Darren plays it. Similarly to MouseHunt, I own really high-leveled character accounts in Maplestory, since I used to be a game "spammer" during June and December holidays.

To end of, I just want to ask a simple question to other people who still play MouseHunt. Is MouseHunt really that difficult to quit. Even so, I think priorities and time management should play a part. Place priorities on important things and do not become addicted. Bye.
