S.o.S??Hang on, its not that i’m asking for HELP ASAP! S.o.S is an online game i have been playing for over a year. Quite a long time ya? Well, that is exactly what I want to share.
I’m pretty sure all of you knows already what an online game is. These are real-time games which are normally played with another person either anywhere in the world, or in the next room.
Online Games, have it’s pros and contras. Some people said it is not good and having a bad effect specially for kids. Others said all good if you know how to maintain it well. I’m among the second group as you can guess
Me myself, I believed that something can be good or bad depends on how you manage it.
Ok, lets get back to the topic. How many online games do you know? Named it, the legendary Ragnarok Online, the so so Destiny Online, Final Fantasy Online, DOMO, Perfect World, the scandalous Second World, Rohan Online, Fiesta, Secret of Solstice (S.O.S), etc. I knew quite a lot but so far i played only 1 seriously, S.o.S.

I joined this game merely because the closest person to me introduced me to that game. He will regret it later but for now lets just continue with the story. At first i thought it is only a boring game that you dont have to “really socialize” with other people that plays there. But i was completely wrong. The game introduced me to a new world, new people, new point of view, new things, and successfully turned me into a geekie (ok that is one bad thing from it). I met a lot of people over there, some of them i know only in the game, but more than one has become great friends and even a great lover (ooops..did i say “lover”?? well…:P). I even know some people from the game in real life, we share phone numbers and talk from time to time, and trust me they are awesome!
Well is that can be counted as a good thing from Online Games? I think so… Anyway, after thinking about it over and over and making fast research about Online Games (which i did this afternoon), i came to conclusion of what the goods and what the bad things
Good Things from Online Games :
- People’s mind get relaxed and get a break from a routine task. You can release your stress while kicking or hitting the monsters or with just chatting with people (or shouting at them xD LOL!!)
- These games is helping people to sharpen their mind and will help them in making a good team. In a way its good in training yourself about organization skills and in building strategies.
- You get to know new people and that you are socializing with them just like in real life. If you are lucky you can meet a good “person” over there and more than once i meet some couples that met each other in an online games or through out the net (credit for Tabitha and Apollonius aka Nel n Gary, u 2 are the sweetest couple ever). Some of them are lucky enough to make it to marriage, but those who not, anyway you DID have fun right?
I do have some REAL friends that i met through online games as i told you before up there (pointing up). We did meet in the game, but then we exchange phone numbers, we meet each other and they are all good. I keep contact with them up until now.
Then Goes The BAD Things from Online Games :
- These kind of games tends to make you become ADDICTED. Once you get addicted, it s the same with drugs, you just cant stop. Then you will start loosing your time for everything else, your work, your job, your social life, then here things will go totally wrong. That is why people, once you play this game, be careful to not get addicted to it,or else you will find yourself sitting in front of the monitor all the time. You may lose your friends, your family, your jobs and everything you have in real life. I was addicted for like 3 months and during those times i really dont have any social life, i regretted it a lot and now im back in reality ^^ But im still playing once in a while
- You may get FAT!! Cuz hey, you dont move so much!! You just sit there in front of the comp and play! >,< Not a really good thing no? You may become a geekie, but MAKE SURE that you are still SEXY!
Overall….”Online Games, Good or Bad?” well….this is really depends on people. If you can maintain the balance between playing and living, and if you keep in mind that “Dood, Its Only A GAME” to prevent you for getting addicted… then Online Games is cool ^^
