*sigh* Oh World of Warcraft, I will never understand the appeal of wasting countless hours grinding XP and levels for nothing more than the ability to grind more XP and higher levels.

You go by mars dates?

Self control, delete remove erase forget.

Why is it you think they give you 7 free days? Its exactly due to this effect; the, "one more wont hurt" syndrom. Though i do take my hat off to them, they baited you and many others alike perfectly.

Have no joy in it, and do not entertain any thoughts of carring on.

Its the equivilent of feeding recovering addicts crack for a week free of charge. They become addicted again and are then met with a price.

I will never, ever play WoW or any MMORPG, and it's all thanks to my no-good dirty rotten pig-stealing great-great Grandfather!

Seriously, it's because my aunt and cousins got addicted to it and never did anything EVER because they needed to become a "level 78 mage" or whatever, and thus chores were non-existent for them. So, yeah...

There's only one way to learn..., i wasted 2 years of my life playing an M.M.O. (Ragnarok) only to have the server go down (losing everything) then realizing I had wasted so much time i vowed never to again play such a game .

Yeah! Holes!

They probably have a system that checks who is active or not, and give out free time just to get un-active ones hooked again.

So far there's one thing that's keeping me from going back to WoW... Forza Motorsport 3. Specifically, the auction house and the ability to customize your car's paint.

WoW took 2 years of my life I can't ever get back And I didn't ever enjoy a single minute while playing it. I hope one day just somehow all the servers crash indefinitely. That way my addicted friends would stop playing and get a real life again.

Signature's are stupid.

well, iam addicted, but i do like it. iam not the "play cuz iam addicted" guy.. well that came out wrong but.. i dont play just to play, if its fun i play otherwise i dont, the reason for me stopping wow was becuz it took money and time. NOT becuz it was booring.

Heh... for me it just got boring. Don't get me wrong. It's a great game, but for me it's not as fun as it used to be. Having to go out and grind for materials/items to sell for money, or gaining more money. And all just to get better equipment to get you to the next level so you get to do it all over again.

I bet those guys at Blizzard are literally swimming in a large olympic sized money filled swimming pool...

Every time I played that game I fell asleep at the keyboard, no game before that has ever done that to me. Then Final Fantasy 12 came out and sort of borrowed the style of combat, and I fell asleep playing that too. Not even at night or anything, like in the middle of the day when I was wide awake to begin with.

Me:
*stands up*
"Hi everyone. My name is Rorek Brushbane, and I a WoWaholic."
Everyone else:
"Hi Rorek."
Me:
"I only started off playing my friend's account while he went to the bathroom. I figured, 'a few minutes couldn't possibly hurt.". Oh, how wrong I was. Before I knew it, I had signed up for the free trial. Then when the trial ran out, I bought a subscription. I got so into aimlessly grinding for this one quest, I forgot to go to work! For a week! So then my boss called and told me I was fired. I didn't care though, I had my Wow... The next thing I knew, I hadn't left my house for three months! I was surviving on pizza and Chinese food I ordered. I didn't shower, I hardly slept... I went to the bathroom in a bucket! And then... When the bucket got full... I ran over and dumped it out the window! One day I tried logging in. and it wouldn't work! It said I had unpaid charges on my subscription. I checked my online bank statement, and my account was empty! I had spent every dollar of my $700 life savings on Wow, fast food delivery, and Wow-related merchandise! So I grabbed everything of value I could carry, and I sold it all at the pawn shop. I got over $28,000! Enough to keep me going for at least another twelve years!!! There's no doubt in my mind that I would've kept going until I died... But then, just when I thought I was doomed and forgotten... a ray of light shined through... And then it went out because the electric company had shut off power to my house due to my bill being a month and a half late. If the power hadn't been shut off, I wouldn't be here right now. Playing WoW was the biggest mistake I ever made in my life."
Session councilor:
"Thank you for sharing, Rorek. Does anyone have any comments or questions for Rorek?"
Random guy:
"Is your account still active, and if so, can I have it?"
Me:
"OVER MY COLD DEAD BODY YOU VULTURE!!!"
*Attacks random guy*

So what if I talk to myself? Its the only way i can have an intelligent conversation around here.

Instead of spending time upping your combat XP,I'd rather learn a new coding language or something more useful.

I would not play WoW if you paid me a thousand bucks. If it's more addictive than CoD then I'd be killed by it.

I haven't played Wow but games become addicting when my friends play because you always try to beat them and vice versa. To me CoD mw 2 is crazy addicting, shooting random people on live is just so much fun.

I am mother and father, but never nurse.I'm rarely still, but I never wander. What am I? See my sketch
