I wasn't addicted to it, but I played it a fair amount (over 237 days, I averaged 78 minutes of play a day). I quit the game because my friends and family did, for some odd reason, think I was addicted to it. I didn't really care a lot (but I started playing a bit less), but when all my friends (not the same who called me addicted :P) quit, the game simply lost its fun factor.

Now Kakuro, that is an addictive game.

Haha, that's hilaroius... it's like you speak of the game so casually, even though you dropped 237 days on it (that's a few weeks more than me I think). Man, crazy stuff... and I didn't even think you were the WoW type.

@Thechalkblock: Eh, impossible. For me, anyway... when I've still got a couple (rl) friends constantly reminding me...


Yeah. I'm with you OP... don't give in to WoW... don't give in... (I'm at 8 months now!)

Why am I not the WoW type? I really loved that game, and put 212 hours into it (I just checked. I messed up in my original post, in which I say 310 hours).

 It didn't feel like that much though, I almost only played with my friends, and I was normally in the same house as at least one of them.

I was more of a lv 19 PvP guy though (I figure half the time I played was on him, and half on my main).

I do understand that people get addicted to it though... One friend has now played it for over 3000 hours (he normally plays over 5 hours a day!).

Yeah, edited my post, I misunderstood you. 310 hours is nothing, lol...

I mean, when I said a few weeks more than me... I meant, I have near 200 days (erm, maybe closer to 150). That's... yeah, 3000+ hours. The funny thing is, most of my friends that play have far more time, one managing 8000+ hrs. I was never exactly addicted, it's just... the social aspect really draws you in. I'll log on even if I don't feel like playing, just to talk to some people.

Also, much of it is no doubt afk time, and it doesn't help I played it a ton when WoW launched since I was a senior in HS (got to slack off). I'm mainly a pvp guy - was there when the 30/40 twinking began, moved to 29/39/49 twinks, then once Arenas came I settled on 70's (I actually made Gladiator... AFTER my account expired ).

I'll probably get into it again eventually, but consoles have me occupied enough, for now. I actually got into VGC sales / consoles after I quit WoW - it took care of pretty much all of my gaming needs, so I completely missed what happened this current gen (Wii/DS/PSP/PS3/X360).


Oh, I noticed this response was kind of pointless, I just felt like rambling on about WoW. On another note, I've noticed the WoW userbase just keeps growing. How the hell are they managing this? I would think everyone that would be interested in the game has have already tried it... apparently not?
