My eldest son is so fond of computer games that he seldom wink his eyes when already in front of his computer.  I noticed this when I caught him still in front of the computer even during the wee hours of the morning.

Took a glimpse

Knowing his strong character, I secretly went near him to take a glimpse of what was he doing at such an odd hours. I was so surprised.

Travian addict

My son was playing Travian to the extent of only leaving the computer just to pee.  Uuppssss how’s that again?

What is this game called Travian?

Since I don’t want to disturb his concentration, I searched and came up with this. Travian is a  successful game of  German origin.  Today, it is considered as one successful computer game with more than 3 million members.

Why become addict?

This really surprised me. Why  this game made my son “addict”?  I continued my search and come up with this good explanation.

The game starts with the user as a leader of a small village.  A waiting time to start build the village to gain enough resources and develop a stronghold of armies with complete army amenities needed to protect the village’s constituents.

Now I understand

After reading the concept of this game called Travian,  I know now why my son seems to be addicted, and never leave his eyes away from the computer screen.  He is only protecting his village from attackers from all users around the globe.

Like our leaders

If only our leaders today act like the village chief in this computer game, I don’t think war will emerge.

Now, is my son a Travian addict?  Only he can tell.
