What you mean theres something wrong with playing the same game for 8 years now? ;)

Have to say though that EQ is by far the worst. The greatest time waster in the history of the internet. Hours simply disappear...I had a friend drive his wife away playing too much. :(

Asheron's Call. Started in Beta, and played it all through out high school. Luckily I was able to balance it with friends, sports and school, but my sleep took a serious hit. And yes, I was grumpy when RL things would interrupt. I felt like 6pm (after school / practice) on weekdays and most of the weekend (except for boozing / messing around with girls on friday and saturday night) were devoted to AC. I sold stuff on ebay and made a lot of friends, but when I started college and met my fiancee, I knew it was time to put the Asheron's Crack down.

EQ is the most insidious one that I'm aware of...
How come no Tony Hawk? I put a LOT of time into THPS2 on Dreamcast...

I'm still hearing the ringing in my ears from the original Railroad Tycoon for the Amiga, many many years ago.
