So this is something I occasionally have talked about with others, I find it interesting to hear peoples answers.Â
Imagine that there wasn't any internet, or that there were not any mmorpgs, what would you be doing instead?Â

For me, I'd probably be a book-club person and read way into the night. I do still read, but not nearly as much as I did before we got proper internet at home. That and if the internet was to completely disappear, I'd move in to the nearest library because I wouldn't feel good about not being able to google my random questions.

I'd still be a pleb console gamer. Cactuar

I'd be reading a lot too. I used to devour books by the shelf before I discovered the wonders of the interwebs. I usually always have a random tab in my browser containing something like this:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pleistocene

I'd probably be more outdoorsy too. I used to run around in the woods and go tubing and camping and stuff when I was younger and now I'm like "Ew, a stick. Get it away."

Hmm.. I'd probably be writing and reading, the same as I do now, but in MASS QUANTITIES.

And focusing more on my education... >////<;

Melodia · **09-29-2014, 12:03 PM**

Also a console gamer, so I'd be playing games there. I also like reading and am am an avid traveler. So....yeah. I'd be doing those kinds of things. I was neverÂ in a book club @_@

Warren Castille · **09-29-2014, 12:08 PM**

Table-top gaming. All of my usual group play online now, so if that never happened... We'd be around a table playing dorky games instead of at desks doing it remotely.

I would actually do my work. But it would be so much more boring.

FreelanceWizard · **09-29-2014, 12:32 PM**

If there were no Internet, I'd be... probably running a BBS, like I did before the Internet was readily available. Smile

I'd also spend a lot more time writing...

...and I'd probably be out of a job, seeing as most of what I do is based on my knowledge of distributed systems over the Internet. So I guess I'd have a lot of time to write. I'd probably play on consoles more, maybe go back and get my Ph.D., that sort of thing.

Nebbs · **09-29-2014, 12:53 PM**

Well being around before the Internet.. I'd go back to tabletop.

Oh yes and BBS and Compuserve.

Coatleque · **09-29-2014, 01:17 PM**

No internet AND MMO's? I'd be focused on single-player PC games like I was before the new millennium.

No computers? That's a different story. I probably would have focused more on my electrical engineering background.

Yangh · **09-29-2014, 01:28 PM**

RPG's, martial arts and Fighting games... just like I was before the internet!

I miss the arcades Sad

***Nero*** · **09-29-2014, 01:30 PM**

I'd probably take up religion.

Aldotsk · **09-29-2014, 01:37 PM**

Drawing. Or just taking photos around places.

or study.

FFXIV is the biggest reason I am not able to do anything

Verad · **09-29-2014, 01:42 PM**

My name would be known and feared as history's greatest monster. I would also play more tabletop games.

Gaspard · **09-29-2014, 01:49 PM**

no matter how much role playing, or internet related stuff in general has given me, I still consider it escapism. So.. Thinking logically about it..

if there was no internet and role playing for me, I'd be probably still working in security as I do now, except that I would spend far more nights drunk in pubs and discos living the YOLO dream of partying until I'd have had knocked a girl up and been forced to...settle. Cause family and kids and stuff.

Or I'd be in the military ad I've wanted to for a while now. Or possibly studying psychopathy..err, I mean psychology.

I don't know, there's too much to consider since I've been using the net and role playing for a decade now
