What the hell? If he's addicted and quitting school, then cut his damn account. It's not that hard....lmao.

lol i can never play it for more than 3 monthes at a time. this year will mark my 4th year of owning the account and i dont have a 70 yet because i always make a new character XD recently i got my first lvl60 and made my first trip to shatt though. i dont have any plans to get rid of the account any time soon, as it does serve some occasional enjoyment, and thats enough for me. its also really good for stress relief because of its extreme simplicity *nod nod* but im usually playing FFXI. its alot more engaging and has a substantial absence of idiots *though they do exist. wherever you go in the world, there will always be at least one idiot. i just prefer to go to places/games with LESS idiots*

I know, the womans being lazy, why doesn't she just go and turn off the computer and uninstall it, I only posted the video to point out how addictive it gets, it's designed to be addictive...

Never even touched WoW. CoX is my mmorpg.

Well, some people are fine with having sucess in a computer game, and I did feel a great sense of achievement from my WoW toons, but I would perfer to do really well in college/my IRL social life instead. I used to not hang out with friends when they would invite me to do stuff with them, because I wanted to raid. I even lost touch with some of my friends, and havnt spoken to some of them in a year/half a year.

Wow is fun, but since I've quit it, my schedule has felt so free, and so open. I have so much more time on my hands now, and I don't feel like I really need to do anything, and theres no grinding i need to do, or dailies, or anything(no more raiding WOOHOO, lol). I can just do whatever I want, and focus once again on the things I like a lot (music, german, etc.).

It's much more satisfying (to me) to finish IRL "quests" (XD), like setting a goal (of something you like), working towards it, and finishing it. Also, the "quests" you finish IRL can't be negated/made useless by an expansion, they can't be made obsolete by new content. (im not talking about things like doing the dishes, I'm talking about major life-improving things. Things like learning a new instrument, making a friendship, doing really awesome in school, learning a new talent, etc.)

The constant grind was much more pain than the rewards of the grinding were, and thats why I quit. I would look at my /played time (over 160 days worth of time), and then think of all the things I could have accomplished using that time, I realize I would have been much more productive not playing wow, and I could have accomplished all sorts of awesome stuff in that time.

How' did u get rid of the obsession of playing wow, i'm on arathor with lv 68 baleantes played all summer.
I guess you can call that an addiction, deleted it once when got annoyed and reinstalled 3 hr's later.
HELP ME

I play a lot, but I really don't have much else to do that I can actually make myself do. Before I got back into WoW a couple weeks ago all I was doing was either working more (and I'm salaried, so that was a waste of my time) or sitting around watching TV all evening. At least this way I feel productive.

After reading this thread though I'm starting to wonder if I should just start buying new accounts, levelling them and selling them off.

Techno Viking will battle on!
