Like anything, it should be moderated.
I would love to play Era all day, I really would.
But life happens, whether you like it or not.
I'm a poster child for this topic.
I need to work, I need to spend time with my daughter and wife, I need to do the chores around my home, I need to exercise, and I need to continue going to college.
Of course I fit Era in there because it's my favorite hobby; it's been my favorite hobby for 10 years, and will continue to be my favorite hobby until something more enticing comes along.
When I can't get to Era during my downtime, I get my fix through the forums. I usually skim the Era Boards for anything pertaining to guns, gangs, PKing, events, or 'help' requests. I check the forums at red lights, on my break, while I'm waiting for the manager to unlock the doors(3:30AM), when I get home, and before I go to bed.
Both 'life' and 'Graal' can be done.
It just needs moderation.
