-'''MMO Addiction''' is a relatively new term in the vernacular of online term. However, the phrase is often used to describe the [[addiction]] to [[MMO]] (Massively Multiplayer Online) games.
-[[MMO]] games, being online in nature, and requiring some modicum of effort to procure any progress, usually result in the hapless person finding more and more time being devoted to the [[MMO]] that they are currently playing. Often the [[MMO]] in question is an [[MMORPG]], such as [[World of Warcraft]].
-More and more time is spent on the game, and their [[self image]] becomes affected, often to a dangerous degree. Time spent away from the [[MMO]] which they are addicted to is often spent, depending on the degree of the addiction, trying to engage in other [[hobbies]], complaining about not playing, or, in a severe case, trying in any manner to get to a computer so they can play the [[MMO]] to which they are addicted.
-As of yet there doesn't seem to be any help for MMO addiction, though tried methods range from distracting them with promises of [[hunger|food]] or smashing their [[computer]] with a blunt object and tying them to a chair.
