I played Everquest, and it was just a nightmare. People will never understand about being addicted to a MMO like EQ or WoW until it happens to them.
I lost all motivation to do anything. I stopped going out places with my gf, she grew impatient, and got on my nerves more. We finally split up because I was sick of listening to her bitch (which wasn't really a bad thing, I would have been married to her right now if not for the game, and 99% sure i'd be miserable). If you care about your gf though, don't ever get involved in a game like that, they're definitely relationship killers.
I also stopped working on my paysite and linklist I had at the time. I probably would have scrapped the paysite anyway, but I really regret dumping the linklist, as mine was out before the swarm of LL's / TGP's came out. There were only a handful back then, and had I promoted it right, i'd probably be sitting on high 4 digits to low 5 digits a month in profit from that site right now.
But, I think I sold the domain for real cheap, scrapped all my other sites, and just lived off my savings until it ran out, even then that didn't snap me out of it. I just mooched off anyone I could until finally the GAME made me lose interest when they released some new expansion which completely changed all the graphics, made many characters look stupid, and also lagged my system down. Had they not done that, i'm not sure how much more I could have sunk.
