I was sort of addicted to WoW. I played for a total of 7 or 9 days, not sure, over a year. I thought that was a lot. All my friends were playing, so it was kind of a social thing. I stopped 2 years ago or so now. All my former friends are still playing. They're all below average at school, and don't have a lot of friends anymore.
I stopped playing because of something bad too. I had decided to quit, but played for 2 more weeks (out my subscription) when one of my best friends hacked me, took over the character and changed everything. Now he is playing as my char. It gets worse than that. Now he refuses even to talk to me. Because he's still afraid I'm going to try to take my account back, which I anyway couldn't since I stopped before the expansion which he has installed on my player (or something)
A year and a half age, another friend started playing. He didn't show up at a mock-exam and fell from 5 (B) to 3 (D) in English. That made his average drop just enough not to get into the school he wanted to (he is 2 years older than me). That is really sad. I have lost all touch with him too...
But hey, some people manage to do just fine. If you have an addictive personality, make sure to install some things that will prevent you from playing way too much.
