i already made a deal with myself to never play wow again, and i will never break it, but that dosnt stop me from wanting to play soo much... i made this thread to have ppl tell me to not play.. to supress the urge... so thanks.

it truely is like a drug.. if only i was rich, didnt have any concern to make something out of myself in life, had no ambitions, goals or anything else.. i could sit at home playing wow all the time.. but unfortionately.. i want to be somebody in life .

Good deal. I too get the urge to play but I realize that WoW is such a waste of time. There are quite a few people out there who have had their lives' negatively affected by the game.

while yes i do regret playing it because of the toll it took on my life (270 days played time ) but while i played it was fun.

what a lot of people that never raided hardcore dont understand, is that when your at that level.. your racing all the other guilds up there.. so its not as much of a grind, but rather a race. when your at the head of progression with ppl of skill at your side.. its fun.. when your at the lower end.. your reading the strats already written for you.

also another point, the game can either be a grind, or very fun, depending on your raid grp.. if everyone is anal and just there to kill bosses and not have fun, itll be like a job, but if its a fun yet productive environment like my old guild.. i actually looked forward to play.. even when we were farming black temple for our 4-5th month

I have two lvl 70 toons and raided hardcore for a few months - I came to the realization that the game is not worth it when you can be doing better things with your life. 270 days played is crazy - I have about 100 or so. It sounds as if you already made up your mind and are going to go back to the game. Your choice, but is it worth the mindless hours for fictional gear and the decline in your social life and more than likely a decline in grades...I had to give the game up - it's difficult to manage a social life while raiding 5 hours a day...

so i used to be in a hardcore raiding guild until april when it died.. top 80 in the US.. raiding 5 hrs a night 5 days a week..

since wotlk came out i have been looking up old friends on armory a lot lately, even going to throrycraft sites and all my old usual things.. i feel extreme nostalgia . on the flip side i have a bad feeling in my gut about starting again.. it destroyed my social life and my studying in highschool took a hit, i am now in college but am afraid the same effect could happen.

i know their are a million reasons to not play wow again, and thats why i quit.. for the longest time my friends praised my decision and i felt great about now going to a new guild after my old one died out.. i was fianally free.. but now i feel left out of WOTLK and just want to play again.. and i cant play casually.

should i play again? or plz convince me to not play.. god i'm confused

 You answered your own question. The game is nothing but a grind for better gear - not worth the time and effort.

I don't believe you have the moral ability to say that you can deliver an unbiased opinion on this subject.

Pft, it's not like I have Zelda related iconography in my sig!! Oh, wait.
