This post is not for the outgoing, crazy busy, physically active person. This is for the person that watches way too much tv, plays candy crush to level 10,000, or plays computer solitaire for hours. This is for the person that isn't interested on learning new crafting skills, new languages, new musical instruments. This is for the person that maybe not able to move around much but still can handle a keyboard and mouse.
This is for the person who doesn't want to go back to work but is so bored feels they have to do something.
Try Elder Scrolls Online! (ESO)
Computer games have come of age with graphics, sound, and content. The entry level price to get in is cheap and all you need is a good computer and good internet connection.
Feel free NOT to leave negative comments. I have plenty of activities that keep me busy but this game fills all that extra time. The ingame community is massive and world wide. I wake up way too early sometimes and interact with people from Australia, New Zealand, Great Britain, France, etc..
Those interested in keeping your brain active and working that hand/eye coordination should check out the game online. You can also watch hundred of vids on Youtube.
There are hundreds of over 55 players and thousands of all outer ages world wide. Join us for fun.
Once again, I'm not looking for your negative feedback. Way too much of that on TOTV. ;) Feel free to PM me if you have questions.

Sez in your own words that you live in Yucky California. Why don'tcha move here. Eliminates the need for video games. Not meaning this to be a negative comment.

Don't understand your comment Gracie. I do thank you for reminding me to change my profile.

I'd rather be bored than play war games!

At the website, you are asked what language, what continent, and what is your birthdate.
I was not interested in the game other than being suspicious of the intention of the poster. Why bother to invite Villagers to play a game?

Why not? Would you be suspicious of someone inviting you to play Mahjong or Bridge?

Candy crush 10,000.:boom:. I need to stop playing that. Is this site that by inviting friends you get perks? Or free lives like CC. Or is this a site you created?

Take the OP at his word. I've played ESO, and many other MMORPG's (I'll let you look it up...heheh.)

They may not be your cup of tea, but they can be very fun, engrossing, and yes...even social. And to call them simply "war games" is a massive understatement. They include combat of course. But you can spend the vast majority of your time in totally peaceful endeavors if you wish...crafting goods for other players for example. If you've never tried a top tier MMORPG, you'd be amazed at how you can spend your time...and a lot of it if you wish. :)

(And if it happens to be up your alley, you can even play ESO on your XBox One, sitting comfortably back in your recliner with only a game controller in hand...heheh!)

Whatever happened to a good game of tic tat toe. These younins now a days got to be bling and blang. Its a world conspiracy to end socialization as we know it. Me and my BFF Apple..... anyone for a game of rock paper scissors? :D:D

Fans of this sort of thing may want to check out the upcoming "No Man's Sky" game when it arrives this coming June. Although there's a danger you may never leave your house again if you get too deeply into it.

I spent almost 10 years playing World of Warcraft, so I can attest to this.

I'm thinking the same thing about Everquest Next, which is on the horizon. (And it's 'sister' game...Landmark...which is already playable in beta-testing phase.)

By the way, I'm thinking of starting a new thread, but let me test the waters here just a bit...

Would any of you consider taking part in a MMORPG guild...a group of players who work together to prosper in what is in effect an online fantasy/sci-fi/both world, galaxy or universe? Crafting, combat (as much or as little as you like), traveling the virtual world, et. Al.

I plan to join in one of the new games soon, like Everquest Next (No Man's Sky?). It would be wonderful if a group of folks from TV would consider doing the same. As an alternative...I've been a long time member of another large gaming guild...The Old Timers Guild (guess what we have in common :) ). They will have a significant presence in Everquest Next. (They already are involved in many games.) We could even consider joining in with them. In MMORPG's, the more friends the better is almost always true!!

Anyway, just kinda thinking out loud at this point. I will be joining EQNext or something similar soon. Doing it as part of a TV group would be even better. :)

Post a reply if you'd even consider such a thing.

I'd consider it.
