how many of you got wow with the intention of playing with freetime, but now cant stop playing it?

basically, how many of you are wowcreackheads now?

im pondering getting the game.... but i dont feel like playing to the wee hours of the night.

is it that friggin addicting?!?
 
Guilty as charged. It is friggin addicting. No more so than say Privateer, Fallout, or Diablo2 - so if you were able to show restraint on titles like those you may be able to get to sleep at a reasonable hour.

The upside for casual players is the longer you "rest", the faster your experience for the next level comes in. A weekend only player could probably reach the level cap in 3/4 the "/played" time as someone who plays every day.
 
Have you ever played a MMORPG? Basically think about when you get a new game and you play it a ton in order to beat it. Well in WoW there is no end ever. If they pace expansions properly just as you are getting bored of the 'end' new stuff will come along.

If you are able to easily put down a game for RL stuff and you don't care about being #1 on the server you will be fine. If you find yourself playing too much take a few days off it seems to bring everything back into perspective. Played EQ for years and it always helped when i was feeling too invested to just step back for a bit.

I plan on starting the addiction in a couple weeks when i am done with my school apps and have nothing else to do...
 
lol, reason i posted this thread, is cause i have teamates that i game with. we all played quake together and etc.

well, a couple of my teamates got wow... and their non-existant. i mean, these are hardcore fps gamers, who never played any mmorpg's.
now their wowcrackheads. lol! its sad.

i mean, one of my teamates, he litererally told me via ventrilio (voicechat) that he HATES wow, but he cant stop playing it. i said to him that i was going to buy it, and he said:
" NO! DO NOT! You wont stop playing... its so addicting. "

owned by the wow!
 
Every morning I say, "Damn, I really need to go to bed early tonight" Then I stay up later than the previous. Every weekend too, since it came out, earliest I went to bed was 4:30...So bad, yet so good
 
dayum, i havent stayed up passed 12pm... in almost a year, whereas before, id stay up past 1am all the time. but i havent gotten into any games lately, thats prolly why.
my gaming activity has gone way down in the past year, but my work activity has shot up. yay 4me!
