Getting a good chunk of time off for vacation is a wonderful luxury that I don’t often know how to handle. The question usually is whether or not that time should be spent traveling. It’s certainly nice to pack the family up and go explore a new place and have interesting shared experiences… but it’s exhausting rather than relaxing in the end.
Sometimes it’s nice to indulge in a “staycation” where you wrap yourself up in the comforts of home with no responsibilities whatsoever. For the MMO gamer, it’s a perfect opportunity to partake in a few marathon gaming sessions.
Say that you had a completely free week from work, school, and responsibilities. Would you rather use that time to travel somewhere on a trip, or would you play MMOs (or other games) instead?
