WOW
World of Warcraft
I know i am a geek but i can't help myself. Its the silicon equivalent of a grand a day crack habit. Every day i can't wait to immerse myself in digital slaughter.

Wrath of the Liche king has made matters worse. I was just starting to wean myself off killing undead in Karazhan and Blizzard pull the expansion out of the bag and i am back to playing at least three times a week and lord help me will be raiding again next week. Its like a heroin dealer coming up with ever newer and more addictive forms of shooting up.

In all seriousness many of my friends live scattered around the country and they also play Warcraft, so its as much a social thing for me to play as anything else. A few bevvies and i'm away in my MMORG dream world.

Got me Death Knight to 77 so far
Got his herbalism to 300 and inscriptions to 200 so far; going to drag him through Outlands too until I hit 380. Then I'm legging it to the Howling Fjord and am going to farm me herbalism/iscriptions upto 450, and fucking love every minute of it.

Addictive? I was on it at half one this morning and up for work at 6. I literally do this 5-6 times a week too, damn it be fine.

I kicked my habit a few months after BC came out.
The easiest way out of it is to piss off everyone in your guild so you have no one to raid with. game gets boring. you quit. easy.

quit?
Its not that simple. A large number of the people in my guild are real life friends who i only get to see in the flesh every blue moon. Some of them i don't get to see at all. So pissing them off is a really bad idea. I cant play 5 times a week but only cos i have other calls on my time (like kids)
Given that i still play far too often

To be honest 3 times a week sounds reasonable to me :)
I used to play pretty much every day, together with my boyfriend. I never really saw it as problematic because we still had a great social life & jobs, but eventually that's what ruined our relationship...

Sad, although I'm actually considering going back to it because it's cheaper than going out every single night...

Aye, 3 times a week?
midnight (at least) Sounds bad, but that's about as much telly as most people watch.
