it did take over my life at one point... I tried to come back... and it just didnt interest me anymore. So I deleted my characters and my account.
Now I play Oblivion.

Dude I havent even dropped Martin off at Cloud Ruler Temple.
I played it for 4 months... then I quit... after 60 it is the same thing over and over... only small minded people could withstand the boredom and mistake it for fun.

If you cant get your valor pieces, you suck teh WoW. But I agree with the rest of your post. They say the game starts at level 60 which is sorta true, you get to use your toon to its fullest with all its skills, but using it to its fullest is pretty much just grinding for the purples, which gets old after a while.

Star Trek Online!
I hope it will be 'all that' and gravy on top. I want it to take over my life.
Maybe I'll get to touch the Lt Commander's (Deanna) virtual boobies.

I really enjoyed WoW, and leveled 3 60's (I played for hours at work) but the game demands too much time to maintain even a mediocre level of gear.
I quit last October.
Also, Everquest was more fun, even if it wasn't half as polished and balanced. I'm really not sure why. Maybe it felt more like a giant world, or was more terrifying. Riding the boat the first time was really scary. WoW never scared me. The only time life was exciting was on a PVP server, and even there, people cried about everything constantly.

I never played EQ... but definitly something lacking in WOW was something to lose. I mean why bother being scared? Worst case scenario you waste time... you don't lose your equipment, you don't lose your experience... you sure as hell can't lose your character... It would be really cool to see a game come out where your character can truly die... that would add so much to the game... the higher level chars would be so much more impressive because you know what they've had to survive to get there.
Of course they'd have to really really really improve early game content... so you don't end up playing the same quests over and over and over again. But think of how cool that game could be. Think of the PVP....
WHOOO gets me excited just thinking about it.

yep! same here.. 2 weeks ago
tired of trying to kill C'thun and just got bored... its pretty refreshing not to freaking raid 4-5 nights a week
I also reached Marshal status... the game is way to demanding...
It took over my bfs for a while. Not so wonderful when you can't pry his eyes away from the screen.. even if your naked

what's your age Ronstang ? I always thought you were older ... like with children ... maybe even already out of school... I wouldn't figure you'd play games like this regardless... so how right am I ?
Anyway, it's easy to stereotype D&D-type people but you obviously haven't even given these games a try. Some celebs even play it... they are such geeks! What do non-computer people think of us, members of a tech forum ? Get some sunlight.

yeah that happened to me too... which was the primary reason behind my quiting,...
I turned down some sex one night so that I wouldn't abandon my group in Mauradon...

I'm a very casual gamer... only play when I'm bored but games like this (I used to text-MUD) where you just build toward a goal which has no real end... it becomes an addiction. Even so, at level 60, all I can really do are instances which requires blocks of hours at a time... I can't commit to that like I did when I was in school... wish I could. I still just play it casually.

Eh.. a couple of times I would've prefered to stay home and play WoW than go to work, but that's mostly the lack of sleep talking.
I've stopped playing though, because I don't want to raid 4 hours a night, 4 times a week, for months. I got bored with the game anyways.
Haven't cancelled my sub yet though, keep forgetting to do so. But I'll probably play again when the expansion comes out, just to try out the new classes.

Yes, it did. I was in one of the strongest guilds on our server and we raided every day, usually about 5-6 hours each night doing MC, BWL, etc. I played a priest so I was always in demand and they wanted me there pretty much every day. I would put off my friends to play, I would leave work early so I could get ready for BWL raids, I spent countless hours in front of my computer killing the same bosses over and over again. I even had a friend who was moving to Texas and who I may not see again for years (she is Air Force) come over one night and I was so addicted I sat there raiding while she hung out with my roommates while she waited for me to finish up.
Then the best thing possible happened I think. I had to start traveling for work in training and consulatations for weeks at a time, on planes and long hours in cars and meetings, so when I got back to the hotel I didn't want to plug in. I tried at first to keep up with the raiding schedule, but slowly I became too engrossed in work to keep up. After a few weeks I just couldn't login anymore with my schedule and I eventually gave the game and all my characters to my friend who originally got me into the game so he could have a second account, although I tried to pry him away from the game.
Now I spend my time with my friends, and I called and apologized to my friend in Texas who says she is glad I was able to get away from the game, because she was seriously worried about me. I heard this from several people who said I hid myself in my room when I would come home and they wouldn't see me at all. It makes me wonder how it all happened, because I played the game to have fun, not to work hard like a second job. I play other games once in a while, but I only play when I feel like it and don't let other people push "responsibility" of gaming onto me.
