I've been there. I used to stay up until 4 in the morning. Sometimes later, 5, 6, 7. One time I stayed up 24 hours straight and though it was an epic session I didn't feel too good afterward. I used to spend a minimum of 12 hours playing. Burning through the content so fast that I got bored easily and so I made my own fun within the game, ganking, messing with bots so it screwed up their farming, etc lol.
we all know how this game can consume you. it didn't at first for me. but once i really got into it 3 years passed before i looked up to see what was around me. it was like i was in a time vortex lol.
@Shunten same here. games are a good way to escape the drudgery of reality. there are some things in the real world that interest me. its just that games interest me more.
i was and still am a warlock from day one (which for me was November 18 2005 @ 5:06am PST) and though i have tried other classes they don't really appeal to me. and its my only main to this day. now that's dedication.
i remember reading about WoW in PC Powerplay and i also saw some video of it at the place i was working at, at the time. and at that time i didn't have broadband so i could only imagine what it was like. then once we finally got broadband i went out and bought the game 3 days later. and at first i didn't really like it. so i didn't play it for about a month. but when i came back to it something about it made me want to keep playing and i did. and so here i am 9 years later still playing. it would have been 10 years but Telstra didn't connect up our phone properly and we had to wait 12 months for the cabling, etc to be put in our street.
