Down with eq! Sorry tried it and hated it. I don't know the whole losing XP when you die thing was never really something I enjoyed. Now wow, on the other hand... =P

I'm just busting chops. The game that started my addiction was wolfinstein. A neighbor turned me onto it. After that it was doom and diablo. Cannot wait for diablo III!!!

I'm a college drop out and I play world of warcraft. Thankfully I started playing warcraft after I dropped out of school. And its true, online games are highly addictive. I play warcraft for at least 2hrs a day. Much more on my days off. Don't get me wrong I have a life, but I do spend a lot of time playing. People have to understand that games like warcraft aren't just used for entertainment. They are also used as a social networking tool. I have had the chance to meet quite a few of the people I play with online. They range in ages from 17 to 46 and have varying professions. Most of these people have families. Is it an addiction? Yes, without a doubt. I just think people have to expand their views on the topic.

Woot!! WoW ftw!! Lvl 72 night elf rogue here saying the wtlk is amazing and I'm glad my t5/t6 epics will hold me till 80.
