There was a boy: at the age of 16; he had been playing MapleStory for quite a while now, not earlier during the day but rather over the months. Recently he has felt the urge to play but, rather than going on, been averted and my attention been drawn elsewhere.
He has even logged-on on an account for a very short period of time and started a new character to try to renew his drive for playing, but to no avail. Perhaps the issue is the diversity of activities to participate in other than the game, perhaps the lack of time and effort to enjoy the game, perhaps the lack of time with balancing school and work.
