Lol That doesn't make sense. I consider a lot of games to be lifelong passions, like Zelda & Mario which are a fraction of the social infinity of an MMORPG. Humans are social by nature; Graal is more than a game, and has a lot to teach anyone about the Internet, society, evolution, human nature, economics, etc. If you think there is an expiration date on fun, learning, creativity, passion, and love—you have yet to learn what life is. But there is definitely something odd about being actively involved in Graal for 17 years unless you are making money; this game isn't church.

What part of that sentence doesn't make sense? The english is fine, you just don't understand. You say its more than a game... Its nothing more than a game, looking at a screen playing Graal for 17 years isn't going to get you anywhere in life unless its your job which for 99% of people, it isn't.

What is life? I thought you had to know what something is before you say someone doesn't have it?

Life: The existence of an individual human being or animal.  

Life... dreams... hope... Where'd they come from? And where are they headed...? These things... I'm going to destroy!

Graal is an artistic online development platform with an ongoing community; and please don't repeat exactly my points then tell me I didn't understand.

I wasn't a nub sparrer than, that's a new development.  

I've watched TV since I was probably less than a year old and it has probably done as much for me if not less than Graal has, but I still watch it occationally so I could say I've watched TV all my life. It does not mean I don't have anything else going on.
The idea to judge if someone has a 'life' based on one activity or hobby is tiresome. It's as if people don't wish anyone else to have long standing hobbies.
