I started playing WarEra 4 days ago, and I love this game, but I have addiction problems, so I’ve been playing non-stop. Even when my bars are empty, I stay active in the community—teaching, learning, talking, and laughing!
For a browser game, I never imagined how active the community would be, especially the Portuguese one in my case!
I’m still focusing on Eco mode, and I’m thinking long-term with it, but the wrath is running through my veins since the Arabs conquered my country—but not for long!
In everything in life, there are pros and cons. The cons of this game are coming too fast for me.
At my job, I work in customer care. I started my calls with “Portugal needs you in WarEra!”, and the clients didn’t understand, so I insisted that they needed to help the Reconquista!
Today, my boss called me because my evaluations from yesterday were bad. I didn’t do my job properly and mistreated clients because of the game. Since I wasn’t professional, I got fired. I guess that means more time to play.
At home, the situation isn’t any better. I’m sleeping less and going to bed late just to empty the bars! I need steel—more steel!
I’m dreaming about WarEra, and it seems like I’m screaming in real life at night, “Reconquista is near!” My wife isn’t sleeping because of my shouting. During meals, I only talk about the game with her. When she went shopping and asked me what I needed, I screamed “Steel!” I even forgot to feed my dog and shouted at him to bring me more steel!
After I got home from work today, I told her about losing my job, and the only thing she said was for me to leave the house immediately and pack my stuff. I just told her not to change the Wi-Fi password so I could keep playing on the street!
Long live WarEra!
TL;DR – Just a comical story based on possible situations related to addiction. Please take care: you can spend 10 hours without filling your bars to the maximum—have fun, but remember there’s life outside the game too!
