Well in Runescape which is my favorite MMO game 🙂 there are gods most notably Saradomin and Zamorak. And you can pray to them, have their armour,… But you pray to them so they can assist you when fighting other players. It is purely fiction. Nobody would even consider that someone would worship these gods. So does that contradict my faith?

I play RS a bit too. 😃

I don’t think it’s sinful at all. They are OBVIOUSLY fictitious, and you and I being the faithful Catholics we are, I don’t think there’s any danger of this being an occasion of sin. The game is fun for skills and fun with other players, and the purpose of my playing is by no means idolatry. 🙂
 
I don’t think so, but we are seeing that such games can have a lot of potential for addiction and I would be careful how much time you spend with it. Though we don’t like to think of it, Augustine is noted for having said that often times, complete abstinence is actually easier than perfect moderation. If you do feel you are becoming engrossed with these game, I would try doing away with them entirely and replacing them with something else. It’s counter-intuitive to your immediate wants, but you might be surprised how much more fulfilled you feel.
 
I admit I played it (a lot) too. All in all it’s a good game, but try not to play it too much, because you can easily get addicted to its endless grind.

That’s a valid point, worth taking to consideration (and I practice it myself; I have quit such games multiple times and only play them to a very small extent) but the question of this thread is on the content, not the game itself.

YOU REALLY HAVE TO TALK TO YOUR PRIEST. Every thread you start is asking if something is a sin! We’ve all said this to you in many threads. Scrupulosity will make your life miserable. Talking to your priest is the way forward.
