Never liked EQ much, I played dark age of camelot a whole bunch when it first came out, but at least i sold my account and made some money out of it :)

Probably D2 from your options, but MUDs are much more addictive. I personally have clocked up about 40 days (real time) of play, other people have about a year and a half. It's just scary.

Whole lotta fun though :D

none of the above?

the most addicting games that I've ever played have been the Civ games (Civ 2 and 3 especially).

Disgaea (PS2) ranks up there too.

None of those games. Probably BF1942, if not that, Tribes 2.

My addiction to forums is way way worse. 5 years of my life an counting.

Edit: I didn't notice ATOT was on there. For me, I visit tons of forums. Forums are by far the worst, way worse than any game.

I can't believe there's no Civilization love in here :)

that's one of the few games that can make me totally lose track of time and play it all night without realizing it (until I start hearing birds chirping, and I realize that it's 6 am and I have class in 2 hours :p)

Paying for a game, then going home and paying to play it each month is STUPID. I used to think Galaxies was fun. I still do. It's fun as hell. But there's no way in hell I'm going to pay each month to play a game online after paying too much for the game to begin with. Anyway, ATOT isn't a game. I voted CS because I still whore up the CS all-too-often. :p

I've been addicted to various video games... Ocarina of Time, Super Mario Sunshine, etc. I spent a summer playing EQ. I stopped two weeks before I moved to go to grad school in order to spend time with the GF. We broke up after I moved, but I couldn't get back into the game. Once school started up, I didn't have the time to play, plus I met a lot of good RL friends to keep me occupied.

So, now I have enough to keep up with my ATOT and TV addictions, but I really don't have too much time for anything else.

It's 2am here and I just disconnected from a BF1942 server. I have to get in about 4 hours, but hey, I've done the same thing probably 100 times in the last year and I still have my job, so the battle fatigue must not be hurting my work too much. Right????
