Evony

What drives the motivation of some gamers to spend endless hours on games such as Evony Online (used to be called Civony)?

Just like addicted gamers at World of Warcraft, people (mostly kids 10-18) will spend hours on end playing online web based games, some strategy, mostly MMORPG trying to build their cities and defeat other players.

What satisfaction to gamers really get? They are getting overweight and their health suffers, their family suffers and who really wins?

The gaming developers make big money from the likes of Evony, WoW and everquest. When will it end? There has been reports in Asia of people actually 'dying' at internet cafes from playing games such as Starcraft for hours and sometimes days on end.

Will Evony be the next problem game to hurt a generation?
