Hopefully I'm not out of place posting this here. It'll be completely anonymous. If you're not comfortable posting in public, just send me a message. Please and thanks in advance! --
1) Describe your most pathetic WoW experience: Hmm the most pathetic time would be when i called out of work sick because i really wanted to get to the lvl cap which at the time was 70.. my brother had hit it like a week before and i just really wanted to get to that lvl i skipped worked and played from like 7 am till 3am the next day.. yeah it was bad 2) Do you personally know anyone who is worse than you? Why would you say they are worse? Haha yes alot worse my brother... he took a min vaca when Wotlk came out and played pretty much straight through till he hit 80. He plays all the time when he is not at work or his girlfriends. He doesn't really take breaks from it and if something goes wrong in the game you do not eve want to talk to him. And when he dies well.... its not pretty 3) Why do you play? Do you consider yourself "addicted"? Why, or why not. I play because its always different, alot of other games have an end game that is easy to get to. There is just so much to do that even playing alot just unlocks more things to do. Also i like playing and interacting with other people. There is no time on WoW that i enjoy more then me my gf my brother and his gf all run an instance or do quests together. its simple to me i came for a game and i stay for the people. 4) How many hours a week do you play? Give a brief run-down of your weekly gaming schedule. (ie. Monday 7-11, Tuesday 5-10, etc.) EK! i don't know i want to answer this one... but please keep in mind i just had knee surgery so i don't ever leave my house untill my gf gets home from work even i think i play too much... mon 8-12 2-6 tues 1-6 wed 9-2 3-7 thurs 8-12 1-5 fri 8-12 1-4 sat ... random prolly 2 hours sun ...random prolly 2 hours 5) If you had to quit, what would you miss the most? well right now i would miss something to do... but at anyother time i would say the people and talking to different people i got to know from playing so long
