Responsible play
Staying in charge of time and money in online worlds.
Online role-playing games are built to be returned to, and most sell ways to skip a grind. That is fine when you are the one deciding. This page is about staying the one who decides.
Worth noticing
- You log in because a daily reward or timer is waiting, not because you want to play.
- You have spent more than you planned this month, or kept a purchase quiet.
- Missing a raid night or an event causes real stress.
- Play is eating into sleep, work or time with people.
Practical steps
- Decide how long a session will be before you start, and set a timer on another device.
- Do not store card details in a game account. A prepaid card gives you a hard limit.
- Turn off notifications from companion and mobile apps.
- Every publisher listed here lets you close your account through settings or support.
