I thought of y'all when I was putting together my list of  What MMORPG’s have taught me about Real Life: 

 

  • Never engage in a battle you know you cannot win.

 

  • Check the rules before you play.

 

  • In your journey through life, buff people along the way.  It costs you nothing and helps them move ahead too.

 

  • Money is useless if you have no one to spend it on.

 

  • Camp in a safe spot or you’ll wake up getting beaten down.

 

  • Finding a good group will get you a lot of great experience you can’t get on your own.  Finding a bad group will get you killed.

 

  • The less ‘downtime’ the better.

 

  • Be nice to noobs, everyone starts out as one.  Never forget where you came from. 

 

  • Relax, have fun. 

 

  • The guy you’re working for may not have the best intentions.  Listen closely before accepting the job.

 

  • The shortcut has more monsters.

 

  • There’s no point in complaining about the prices at the shop.  Either buy it or leave it alone. 

 

  • Give all your knowledge to your toons, they’ll have their own adventures.

 

  • A twinked toon will blow all cash on things it doesn’t need.

 

  • Ask not what your guild can do for you, but what you can do for your guild.

 

  • Talents and skills worth having take a lot of time to develop.

 

  • In order to find what you’re looking for, you have to put up with a lot of things you’re not looking for.
  •  Clean your inventory regularly else it will stack up and clutter.

 

  • Fashion beats practicality everytime…but no one can logically explain why.

 

  • There’s no one you want to meet in the pub.

 

  • You’ve got to defeat a rat with a stick before taking a sword to a dragon.

 

  • If you get defeated, recover and try again with a different tactic until you win.

 

  • Adjusting your schedule is usually easier than competing.

 

  • Don’t feed the trolls.

 

  • Listen to the quest-giver, keep the details with you at all time.

 

  • Of course the game doesn’t make sense.  The only decision you have to make about it is whether to play or not.

 

  • If you’re having a problem in the guild, consult guild leadership…especially if you’re the guild leader.

 

  • Mashing buttons randomly rarely amounts to success.

 

  • The world is big, but the more you travel it, the easier it becomes.

 

  • History explains a lot about why we do what we do.

 

  • The people are always more important than the prize.

 

  • Celebrate the victories of others.

 

  • Let the person who has been there before lead the way.

 

  • Nobody cares about your epics when you’re showing off.

 

  • Recognize overconfidence early.  If you follow, do so at a distance.

 

  • Always know why someone is eager to trade.

 

  • Higher levels always want to duel you in public.  Politely decline.  Ignore what is said thereafter.

 

  • You may have a ride, but you can still get hit and cliffs approach sooner the faster you go.

 

  • Maintenance your equipment or it will soon be junk.

 

  • There are few who can give good directions, but many are those who think they can give good directions.

 

  • It’s always good to question “what’s that burning smell”?

 

  • The amount of your money is equal to the total cash divided by number of toons.

 

  • You can overclock, but have no regrets about burning out.

 

  • Never charge into battle without checking armor, weapons, and ammo first.

 

  • If it is rare, everyone will want it.

 

  • Let the healer heal or become a healer yourself.

 

  • The day the expansion comes out, everyone will want to have the highest level and the best gear as soon as possible.

 

  • Even the simple tasks are important for those who can’t do them.

 

  • No one knows your character better than you do.  Don’t concede to being less than you are.

 

  • Some people will never be satisfied.  If they have everything, they’ll complain there isn’t more to get or do.

 

  • No one levels in a forum.

Hope you all enjoyed, feel free to add to the list.

Google "MMORPGMaker" if you want to make your own MMORPG.

If you click on a mouse for a really, really long time, eventually your shoulder will hurt.

This is a case of game affecting real life...like not sleeping or shower neglect.  Personally I can't stand click-to-move games for this reason as well.

Okay, I'm afraid to ask the real life application of this one:
