Three years ago, I was completely immersed in Dark Age Of Camelot. I had set my mind firmly on the goal of obtaining the highest level possible and was intent on achieving it. I heard random comments during my two-year stint in Camelot, as my sleeping habits changed drastically and my priorities, according to others, seemed to be a bit skewed. It was about a year after I had begun playing Dark Age Of Camelot, which had been introduced to me by my two teenage nephews, that I, in turn, introduced the game to my 35-year-old friend, Julie, the mother of two teenagers herself.

It wasn't long before Julie became as immersed as I was, and eventually I received an email from her mother stating that she had completely "went off her rocker." Jannean, who is a 64-year-old housewife, married for nearly 50 years, was upset that I had introduced her daughter to something she deemed “demonic.” She claimed the violence was satanic and that the influence of the game had “sucked us in.”
