world of warcraft is designed to take up as much fcking time as possible. its trash.

seriously, as a former opiate addict who had a 50-80mg/day habit at one time i can tell you they (MMOs) are worse than drugs, especially if you have an addictive personality.
i was able to quit doing real, hard drugs easier than i could quit videogaming and actually did worse in school when i was on WoW than when i was a real junkie.

and my story really aint all that uncommon.

there really is no such thing as 'casually' playing a MMO, at least not for me

i sell gold on a lot of shards including my home shards Mannoroth (alliance) and Twisting Nether (horde) PM me if you WTB

Agreed. I'm a former Lineage II player of 5 years, and it's all the same thing. It's just not worth it. It eats up your life. Good thing I played on a private server so quitting was easier for me once my server was shut down.

I strongly advise against starting playing MMOs. If you are already playing, then keep this is mind:
The highest levels on a server are usually losers who have no real life, and you do not want to be like them. If you'd meet them IRL first, you'd probably hate them.

And if you want to quit, just dick off as much as you possibly can first. It is fun with a high lvl.
