Columnist Lynn Harris gives some advice on dating an online game addict. She's assuming that the boyfriend is addicted to Everquest. As addictive as EverQuest was, most EQ addicts have moved on -- the people left in Everquest these days are mainly farmers or continuing to play the game to make a living. Personally, I think in this day and age, the name of the game is World of Warcraft.
I'm a little surprised at the advice Ms. Harris gives -- just like you shouldn't negotiate with terrorists, you shouldn't bargain with MMOG addicts, because they can't be trusted. If they are at the stage where they are playing until 3am, chances are that they are already too deep in. In fact, it's a lot more likely the person will attempt to drag you into their world, instead of them leaving it.
