Addictive Online Games

Have you ever started a game thinking you were just going to kill some time and the game becomes so addictive that a year later you are still playing it?

Post your online game addiction.......

I play this stock game called Alexadex. They give you 10,000 Alexadex dollars and you buy shares in various websites. You start by buying the cheap dollar stocks then you move up to the expensive sites like youtube and UPS. You have to buy low and sell high. Just like the stock market. It is really a cool game. The other day I saw that the perezhilton.com website was mentioned on all 3 news channels so I bought stock in it and made over $ 15000 in one day. I love this game. They also allow for arbitrage so you can make a killing if you time it right. :D

The other game I play is a german game called Travian. It has just resently been translated into English. It is kinda like Civilization except you get to play live with people from Romania,France, Germany, pretty much everyhwere.

There are 7 worlds (servers) you compete with thousands of other players by taking control of a small village building an army and then joining alliances. It doesn't sound like it would be addictive until you start then you can't seem to get away from it :)

So does anyone else have a good addictive online game?

i dont know if its exactly what u are talking about but i think World of Warcraft must be mentioned, i know ppl who have lost their lives to that game

Do you have a link to it 420pur? I love finding new games. I was hoping people would post some good games here. For when I am bored out of my mind. I am in bed a lot. I found a really fun form of Yatzee at Beatya.com and King.com has it too both are a little different but you can play other people so it is fun :)

No billion.... that really was not my intent. You can just go there and put any nic and a password I have several acct.s no one really gets referral money go ask in the forum. I have played there enough seasons to know we never get referral money Colin is always too busy. I just wanted to share a fun game and get a few other game sites....

I just copied the link from the page I was on so if that bothers you or anyone else go to the home page. I have enough money I don't need $1000 lol

I think I am working backwards in that account anyway and it would be better if you use the home page. Some people get bored with their stocks when they are not moving and will buy stocks that they know will drop so they can get to $1 and make the loser list. I was on the biggest loser list last week :D Its a fun game.



It is pretty education even more so if you play the stock market.

Whoa that Warcraft looks really complicated.:confused: I like the artwork.

I have an addictive online tactical game for ya. Counter Strike Source! I can't stop playin it son! :stoned:

Thanks Billionfold those are all pretty awesome. I am reading about runescape right now. They are all pretty complicated. Do you play on all three sites?

ha, i didn't think anyone else played runescape whats your name billionfold?

runescape can consume your life for months to years

lol me n ma friends played runescape for about a year and a half lol im nopt really in2 it any more tho lol i got a lvl 98 acc lol 0men g0ds.

I've recently got into War Rock (also searchable under Warrock), which is an online FPS (first person shooter) similar to counter-strike but imo better.

http://www.warrock.net/ theres a link for anyone interested, it's free to download from download.com and will run on most pc's that run windows xp

before that my main addiction was Freelancer which is a space flight sim, a damn good one, pretty big game , lots of solar systems, bases, planets and stations to visit (all named after real places... like the "New York System" which houses "Planet Manhattan" and other such places) its easy to get the hang of too... heres a screenshot from a while back.

(i was running a crapy laptop at the time so my graphics specs were real low, its usually a very very good looking game)
The best thing about this online game is that different servers run different "mods" which customize that particular server, for example you could have a server running anything from starwars based ships/planets/systems to star trek based ships/planets/systems and also popular is Battlestar Galactica based ships/systems/planets... but you'll find most run an even mix of all three, as well as some original stuff too, lots of servers create their own entire galaxies and ships and stuff, it is very cool.

here is a link for anyone interested http://www.microsoft.com/games/freelancer/
But i hardly ever play that anymore :(

WoW and CS:S are the two single greatest games ever developed on any platform. Period.

Hit me up on xfire if you guys wanna play anything with me: subservient

I've benn playing war rock now for like ten days it pretty cool!!! But Guild Wars consumes alot of poeple life!!!!!

The MMORPG City of Heroes/Villains is great fun to play while high.

i lost 2 years to rainbow six: raven shield. risk your life will clean your clock and that stock market sounds neato.

i have one word for you.... SNOOD.

it's not an RPG, but play that game enough and you will start DREAMING in snood.

i think there are still versions you don't have to pay for.

Lord of Ultima is highly addictive!
Ive spent way too much buying additional diamonds too
