Acceptable (MMO)RPG?

[Loafy]

I've been trying to weed out the distractions in my life, main one being my lifelong hobby of video games lol. Hawking my PS4 tomorrow and have decided if I pursue a hobby it will be in audio electronics... AFTER my spiritual responsibilities are taken care of first.

 

But I still get the itch from time to time. I haven't played a video game in... about 2 months maybe? I love the concept of resource gathering and crafting and rpg/survival type games, but most, if not all, integrate violence and occultism. Are there ANY f2p mmorpgs that are not full of satanic influence? 🤔

Its gonna be really hard if not impossible.

Satan leaves us with very little if no choice at all when it comes to choosing a clean form of the kind of entertainment we love.

 

I used to love video games but i t was mostly the violent games that captures my interest eg mortal combat,street fighters etc 

I can't enjoy video games if its not these violent ones or others like them.

 

When I became a Jw I decided its best for me to end that hobby in video games since I can't enjoy a clean form of it,

Sometimes I miss those games, but I can't go back to them, its a sacrifice I did it for Jehovah.

 

Ive left those video games for a very very long time now,I guess I've succeeded in overcoming that spiritual challenge

Congrats Brother 😁. My gaming days are probably over as well, but it's for the best. Too many more important things to focus on and countless other hobbies and entertainment to pursue that are uplifting and beneficial to life 😉👍

 Another challenge I am having now is the movies,I love movies but a lot of really nice  movies are laced with immorality, violence, spiritism etc 

Its so hard to choose something really nice and completely clean.

 

Our organization are producing clean movies for us to enjoy, I try to limit myself to these movies but sometimes I yearn to watch the lord of the rings and other adventure movies like it but I just try to stick to the new personality as much as I can.

 

Although,Sometimes I worry if I am not being too sensitive.

I can understand, I've always been partial to horror movies, not much else really interested me. There's a Morning Worship talk entitled Storytelling is an Effective Tool by Brother Beaux. Outside of the obvious laws we should follow when choosing entertainment, we are given guidelines and principals, and if a subject arises that there is still no yes or no answer for, we are taught to use our bible based concience. In my opinion, it is better to be "too sensitive" than too accepting of the world's influence, but again, it is a matter of one's Conscience 😉

Acceptable (MMO)RPG?

MMORPG fails at least in 2 of my criteria for acceptable games.

 

1- It must not have an online community, where one needs to socialize and interact with unknown and/or wordly people.

 

2- it must not have a persistent universe, where the game continues in background. Even when you are offline other players keep playing and may affect you game progress,

in contrast with board game where the game freezes when you stop playing. This inevitably makes one think about the game even offline, and makes it have excess game time.

The only way is to create a private Minecraft server with MMO RPG mods without magic and violence, where only brothers and sisters will play.
