My Epiphany from Diablo II that started my Entrepreneurial Life.

This is the origin of the FD Lifestyle, living real life like a hardcore gamer, and I want to share it with others to see if anyone wants to join in me in the passionate path of leveling up and completing cool quests that make a difference in this world.

It all began in 10th grade. I was a hardcore Diablo II player and would spend a lot of time figuring out how would I build my character, assign the right skill points, assemble a team, and conquer difficult quests. Then it came a time when my friends started quitting and moved on to something else. I quit too. The problem was, I was in that transition phase between quitting a game and moving on to the next one, and I felt extremely empty.
I realized that I had I spent thousands upon thousands of hours getting more experience, leveling up, getting more money, getting better gear. And now I have nothing. My account will be deleted after 3 months of inactivity, and a big part of my life is wasted.

So I started to think, what kind of game can I play that a lot of people are playing, and people can’t just quit when they are bored? The conclusion I reached was: it’s pretty much the game of life.

So, if I was my own RPG character, I wouldn’t stay in town all day, be idle, and walk back and forth, back and forth. NO, I would go out and kill monsters, get more experience, level up, and conquer cool quests of course. So everyone is playing this game, but not everyone knows it, especially when they are in high school or college. When they are still in town just being idle, (watching TV, partying, not doing much with life) I am already out there getting more experience, meeting high level characters, assigning important skill points, and leveling up. Then one day they will realize (out of college) that they are playing this game too, and they will need experience to level up to overcome whatever quest they feel they should conquer with their lives. By then, I would be at level 16 or so, with a strong head start.

Ultimately, my goal is to be the strongest player on my server.

In most MMORPGs, You know how a high level player can help lower level people level up faster? That’s what I have committed my life to do too: get people to realize they are playing this game and help them level up to my level or even higher, and so we can help each other out in life(in FD, we call this Vertical Networking).

So I want to be the strongest in my field, and team up with all the strongest in the other fields. Together we can complete cool quests to solve problems that the real world face. In a game, the quest could be killing a monster, or building a large army. In the real world, a quest could be solving global warming, making a better search engine, or run a successful non-profit The beautiful thing about this particular game is, when you play it, it can be just as thrilling, and it actually makes a difference in this world. You would have made a positive impact in peoples' lives, and you would be wealthy and famous. Sounds like a good deal.

In FD, we also call people who just want stability and comfortable lives NPCs. NPCs become the environment instead of living passionately. They live everyday to support their existence and buy cool stuff on the side. If you think about it, this doesn't make sense. Why do you make money? You make money to increase the quality of life. But you spend so many hours in your life working anyway, that IS your quality of life, and it makes little sense for people to pay a lot of money for you to be miserable your entire life. It makes a lot more sense to get paid a bit less, but have your whole life do what you are passionate about and play your entire life.

So this is what I do. I work over 90 hours a week. I also play over 90 hours a week. People I have FDtized also spend a ridiculous amount of time trying to become a stronger player while accomplishing amazing things for their age. Because I feel like I have a better life than most people without necessarily being better in person, I want to bring the philosophy of combining work and play to people, whether through myself, my company culture, or the services/products that it provides. I want people to have fun when productive by doing what they are passionate about. I want those who are extreme in what they do (like hardcore gamers) to be extreme in what truly matters in this world. So for those who want to play their entire lives and possibly become wealthy on the way, I welcome you to join my FD Lifestyle. Lets ally up.
