If any of you are wondering where I have gone...

If any of you have wondered where I have gone, here is why...

Last Friday my friends from school managed to convince me to try... no, not crack, but probably something just as bad. World of Warcraft.

I was reluctant but gave it a try. But within a few days I was addicted. I play just about all the time when I have free time. I know Simple Inhibition is starting to see the effects of WoW addiction. Everytime he messages me, I don't respond. Just to show how much I've played, my Xfire profile reports 55 hours in the last 7 days. I've had a lot of tests and homework lately so my life has been extremely busy.

I see the community has grown quite a bit and I have to rejoin the community when my homework (and my addiction) has eased up a bit.

In case anyone wanted to know... level 31 Undead Warlock on Boulderfirst.

WOWcrack! There is always one more quest, one more bar to lvl, one more battle ground. Oh, yeah, then there is the I just need to earn a little bit more for my riding mount. It sucks you in. Make sure to take a reality check once in awhile. At least get an add-on that tells you how much you have played your character. That can be a little eye opening.

If I ever decide to give up IT, I am going to start a rehab center for game addicts. I am sure there are some rich parents and spouses out there willing to pay some money. The thing would be to figure out what to addict them to that will keep them away from the games.

68 Gnome Frost Mage, 56 Dwarf Hunter, 47 Tauren Dr00d. I used to be addicted to WoWcrack (just as I was when I played EverQuest back in the day), but I successfully completed the five step process of weening myself off the game. Not to say that I don't still play, rather I've learned to manage my time and not rule (ruin?) my life while doing it. =)

If you type /played it tells you how long you've played on that character :D If you ever create that clinic... I will hate you.

I was all worried that you were the shooter at VT. Thank God it wasn't you.

I put about a weeks worth of playtime into it before the game just got boring. To much questing for my taste.
