World of Warcraft
Played for about 2 years, my wife(then girlfriend) hated it. After our daughter was born, I quit playing for a while to help out more around the house and whatnot.

It was when I started to play again that I realized I was paying around 15 dollars a month to do the same tasks over and over again with increasing difficulty.

I haven't played it since, and the extra little bit of money pays for netflix, which is far better.

i find the game has saved me money
I used to buy a new game every 2-3 weeks at £20 or more. I also don't go out as much and spend the cash on booze etc.

I may be sad but if £8 a month stops me spending upwards of £100 a month on new games and booze then I'm happy

Which came first?
The playing of the game or the dissolving of your social life?

just a thought - look up LOTRO. WoW playing friends are flocking to it

Basically the same as this
but £9 a month instead of $15.
