I fell off the (world of warcraft) wagon.

Yeah, Blizzard saves all of your toons in case you ever feel like returning.

well, on my realm in AV it's like 12 to 400000 well, 12 being the alliance and we just get merked.

Me and my bro found that our parents sabotaged us and uninstalled it when we weren't looking, and now I haven't seen my friend in ages, I'd ask one of you to pass on a message except I don't know what server I was on.

I said the same thing the first time I came back after quitting and have mostly stuck with it. I used to do the hardcore raiding thing way back in the day in Molten Core, Blackwing Lair, etc. It became very taxing and had a pretty big effect on my schoolwork for relatively no return. I think I got a total of 3 set items in a month and a half? I was a hunter at the time and the lead hunter in our guild got a full set with his huge stash of DKP then disappeared

Thankfully my husband and I generally have a tank and healer, so PuG's aren't so bad. I almost always lead when I'm in a PuG, too. I enjoy my druid tank and priest healer for that reason. I feel that I am in almost direct control over the success or failure of a group when I'm the tank or healer.

So I filled out the survey...

1. Admit you have a problem.

I have plenty. What's your point?

2a. Consider the following: Imagine the day that you first bought the game. If you knew everything you do now, would you still have bought it?

Yes.

2b. Now the follow up question: Imagine yourself in two years, still playing WoW, looking back on today when you are making the decision to quit or keep playing. How do you feel about your decision to continue?

Great!

3a. Find out what has caused your addiction. What makes World of Warcraft (WoW for short) so appealing to you?

Its fun!

3b. Is it the fact that it has different continents that you will never go to?

No.

3c. Is it the fighting?

Yess!

3c. Is it your "unique" role as a tank or a mage?

I play a freakin' Warlock. The only thing unique about my class is that I'm a mushroom!

3d. Is it the happiness of 'pwning noobs'?

I play a Warlock... so... ummm... no.

3e. Whatever it is, try to minimize this happiness in WoW, and make it a pleasure that you could also get in every day life.

No. Yes! No! YEs? o_o

- Take a martial arts class.

Boring. Plus you can go to prison for killing someone.

- Read.

Do that anyways... what's your point?


- Play a less time consuming video game with all of the rewarding feelings of WoW.

Neva!

4. Burn yourself out by finding the ways to cheat at World of Warcraft.

He said burn.,,

5. Set up parental controls for yourself.

I'm a OCD-ADD. I don;t think that would work out too well. Plus the fights I have with myself would amplify.

6a. Schedule other activities with your free time, so you won't have time to play WoW. One of the most effective way is to get a part time job and book every free time you have to work.

OMG. Suck!

6b. Hang out with your friends,

They play WOW

6c. play basketball,

I'm pretty good at HORSE, but I prefer WOW.

6d. engage in extra curricular activities at school (such as clubs or sport teams) or volunteer.

Ooo... ooo... I know. I'll teach the homeless to play WOW!

6e. The important thing is that they keep you outside of your home, away from your computer.

I have AS! What the hell?

6f. Remember, your "guild" online is no substitute for the company of real friends.

I have AS.

7. Give away your bags and gold (don't mail them to an alt) and delete your character.

Hey Psycho. Get out my JINX tee-shirt before you screw up WOW!

8. Sell your account.

No one wants to play Warlock! They want those damn BUBBLE RET PALLIES!

9. Beat the game.

Epic fail!

10. Do activities that are productive in the real world but allow you to have the same satisfaction of leveling up like getting fit.

I design websites for people! How much more productive do I need to be mister condescending survey?!

I will always play and you cant stop me

I am a WoW addict, ive been sober 3 months. Thats it, thanks.

I live and breathe Wow....its like saying being adicted to oxygen

Which server do you play on eggman?

My husband and I have played since release, and I don't see us ever stopping for long. We took a break for a while when our son was born but other than that... we're back and playing.

Been playing MMO's since the birth of Everquest.

That's impossible! Everyone knows there are no girls in WoW!

I found another way to get my fix - my wife doesn't feel like playing right now (a bit overwhelmed with the holidays coming up), but she wants to see her characters advance, so she'll let me play them. I got her drainei priest up a level last night - would have been more, but I was tired. She's now running around Westwood at 15th level, which should assist me in getting some of those quests knocked out!

I did that a few months ago. Gawd all the fricking patching to be done! I had to recover my deleted characters, and I had forgotten that I stipped them all naked and gave away my gold when I left. I deleted everything so I wouldn't be enticed into going back. Then ... I did it. Had to rebuild from scratch, but leveled a new lvl 70 gnome rogue and decked him out. Then got bored again and quit a few weeks ago, right before the new expansion dropped. I stopped playing right after the horrid zombie infestation.

One of the reasons for my boredom: server population. All my old friends I leveled up with had transferred off our crappy server (Anub'arak US) and it ws mostly noobs and high level horde left on my server. It was rather boring. I figured rather than pay the money to transfer my toon, I might as well not pay Blizzard ANY money and pick back up on some of my older obsessions. Ever since I've been designing a 70-story condo building in AutoCAD.

now thats a secret...

Never got the chance to play the game. Is it that wonderful? I know it's expensive...

about 60 dolrs for all three disk sets......and 120 for a years worth of playing...300 in all, the first year..120 after that

I've been playing since December 2007 and to be honest with all of you, it's much better than real life right now.
