They Want Their Child's Success

My internet gaming story is go back to decade ago. When I was young(I guess may be I was 10 or 11 years old), my older brother recommended the online game ‘Baram-ui-nara(The Kingdom of the Wind)’. Soon I fell into that game, and my brother and I played that game many times a day.
 
Like many of the role playing games, making playing character is required to play that game. I made my characters and gave their names, selected their appearance. When It was a long time ago, there are a few things l can choose about their appearance. I could choose only their genders and hair styles. Compared to the recent games, it was very simple. However, for me, choosing them is not simple. I decided it very carefully, because that characters is mine and represent me.
 
As many addicts did, I also used to spend a lot of time on playing the internet games in front of the computer. Sometimes I stay all-night-stand with playing that game, and it made me can’t do something I have to do. However being older, I became stopped to playing games naturally because my real life became so busy. Now, I don’t play the internet games and don’t have interested in any more. But the Baran-ui-nara had been with my young age, I have a good memories of them.
 
Then, I thought about why people are addicted to the internet games. In my opinion, the Avata has been appealing to people. As I said above, Avata is represent oneself, and people feel like that avata is my pets or children. Players will be proud of themselves, when their avata reach to a high levels. I think It seems to similar to relations between parents and child. They hope  their child(Avata) succeed. For players, they want their avatas get a high goals so they play a long time to make it.
