I don’t have Attention Deficit Disorder (ADD), and I never have. I’ve never been on medication for my attentiveness, yet I find myself participating in something that looks like the biggest case of ADD in history. I have approximately 20 toons over level 15, scattered on various realms and play-types. I am really beginning to appreciate Kinless’ definition of Altism on his blog:
Altism, defined.
Main Entry: alt·ism
Pronunciation: \alt,i-zem\
Function: noun
Date: 2007: a variable gaming condition that appears by character number five and is characterized by impairment of the ability to reach higher levels, an impairment in joining end-game content, failure to maintain normal levels of reputation and faction gain, and by an inability to be forced into stereotyped playing patterns. < “Dude, l2lvl.” “Can’t. I’ve got altism.”>
