      i used to be addicted too, it launched in march and i played through until the start of may, i put in around 32 days of game time according to /played

      i was a l60 night elf druid on skullcrusher-eu - i was extremely well equipped and played it a lot.

      however i didnt do a lot of work while playing and i closed my account, it was becoming a problem and it was one of the hardest things to do. i dont think i could have that game on my pc and only play an hour or two a day, so deleting my account was the best option.

      i miss all my friends on there and a lot of aspects of the game, but my business is #1 in my life, and its when it started to become #2 i realised it was a problem!

                On top of being addictive, it's a poorly made pathetic attempt at a mmo catering to the most retarded cheeto snarfing homo's.

                    I think that is a problem many of us have had, it usually takes revenue to dip before getting your ass back in biz

                        It is a pretty addictive game, especially now that battlegrounds is out.

                          Haven't tried battlegrounds yet.. was actually heading to SM one time and somehow it got bugged and I wound up at Battlegrounds. Bizarre. I was blown away by how MANY people were lined up at the gate waiting to go through. Damn!

                          I'm working on levelling a Night-Elf warrior right now on Lightbringer (lv 28), I also have a lv60 Pally on Lightbringer server.

                          WoW is fun, though their customer support leaves a LOT to be desired (imo), and there are so many LOSERS online who just want to fuck around and ruin other people's fun, THAT sucks.

                          I can see how it can get distracting, but I have a strict rule - it just won't be played until AFTER work, no compromises!

                                I went through the exact same thing with Everquest a couple years ago. I finally managed to quit that, and I am staying way the hell away from these other MMORPGs. Being able to set your own hours + a game like that is a bad bad combination.

                                    Everquest got me... I've been EQ free for 3 weeks now... Was thinking about WoW, but looked back at how much time I killed on EQ, and realized I would never get anything done.

                                    How did they get the crack coded into a program???

                                    How do i do that with my site??


                                    LMAO I knew it was time to quit for a while when my girl woke me up from a dream one night. She told me I was saying I can't handle any more mobs, I already have 2 yellows on me... That was an interesting explanation

                                      I got the game in December, by May I had a 300 person guild that I ran alone, had accomplished all of the end-game content with the exception of Ragnaros, and had every worthwhile item in the game. I closed it a few weeks ago out of boredom, it just got old, and I'm thinking of selling my char on eBay because it would likely go for a few hundred bucks.

                                      Great game, but it's very simplistic, not much depth once it's all said and done. On to Battlefield 2...

                                        You could always pay someone to play for you or even rent a character for the week.

                                        I saw this today. Someone's actually making a living PLAYING GAMES!

                                                  I just keep playing that stupid game, it's so fucking addictive. For gods sake teenrevenue works out great but i really have to get back to work.. traffic flow goes a bit down nowadays..

                                                  DONT PLAY THIS GAME IF YOU WANT TO SUCCEED IN THIS BIZ
                                                  Know how ya feel. I finally 'lost' my Diablo II CD. Good ole Blizzard Entertainment.

                                                          I had 4 lvl 99 US East Realm characters in D2. Stopped playing for 90+ days and they were deleted. Two years of work/play gone. That's what caused me to lose my game.

                                                            Same thing happened to me. I had a 99 amazon (windforce and all) and a 96 MF sorc get deleted. I just reinstalled the game last week. Haven't really played much but it's fun to revisit it.

I finally managed to quit that, and I am staying way the hell away from these other MMORPGs. Being able to set your own hours + a game like that is a bad bad combination.

                                                                              Would you rather have fake gold peices stored on a server somewhere or real gold peices ?

                                                                              I realized after blowing about $250,000 worth of my time on DAOC that these MMP are really dumb, You pend a pile of time building something thats worthless !

                                                                              I will never buy a MMP game again I only by games I can finish in a short time period !

Started back on AOL with Gemstone III, Betaed and played UO for a while, cracked out on EQ for years, moved on to Eve Online, City of Heroes, EQ2, and now WoW. One thing I learned was that these games last a hell of a long time. And the race to level 60, 70 or whatever is not a race. Now I play here and there and enjoy the hell out of the time I get to play. Only time I play during business hours is maybe a quick jump on at lunch to turn in a quest or do some tradeskilling. If you schedule your days and make sure that you do your work first and then play you won't have a problem. Just like your parents use to say... "Do your homework and then you can go outside and play"

                                                                                              I have been play MUDS, MMORPG, and additive games of this nature for years. Started back on AOL with Gemstone III, Betaed and played UO for a while, cracked out on EQ for years, moved on to Eve Online, City of Heroes, EQ2, and now WoW. One thing I learned was that these games last a hell of a long time. And the race to level 60, 70 or whatever is not a race. Now I play here and there and enjoy the hell out of the time I get to play. Only time I play during business hours is maybe a quick jump on at lunch to turn in a quest or do some tradeskilling. If you schedule your days and make sure that you do your work first and then play you won't have a problem. Just like your parents use to say... "Do your homework and then you can go outside and play"

Besides these games have a story, MMORPGs are like real life, there's not much point ;)
