The Adventures of Lu Yang in ZT Online
I read this very long story/article about Lu Yang and her gaming experience with Giant Interactive’s ZT Online. I’d rather quote article’s overview for a summary since it pretty much nails the whole piece.
“The main Southern Weekly article on ZT Online follows a gamer as she first becomes interested in the game, through her rise to power, and her eventual disillusionment with the money-sink it had become.”
The original article has apparently been removed from Southern Weekly and among the other reposts. This article is an English translation. Given this, it’s pretty tough to reference the original.
Regardless of it’s origin, I wanted to share this piece because I feel that it describes very well the high an MMO player gets from playing a game, and how similar this high is to gambling high or other forms of addiction.
