World of Warcraft Addiction
Chris G:
If you're seriously asking what you should do... I'd say force yourself to cut back. The internet goes out and you get shaky? That would scare the hell out of me if I felt that way. I'd suggest finding some other things you're interested in (preferably offline).
OTOH, I just installed Warhammer last night. ;D
Regarding the guys... who cares what they think? There's probably not much you can do about that.

this from a guy who can't avoid forums for more than an hour or two...

what you should do... ? Ask yourself why your entire life is wrapped up in WoW. And be honest with yourself when you do.

Pot meet kettle
AtomSmasher:
Back in college one of my friends became addicted to FallOut 2 (this was back when it first came out) and after he failed all of his classes that quarter he realized he had a problem. He then gave all of his games to a friend and told him not to give them back until summer, and he also decided not to start playing any new games. The next quarter he got straight A's in his classes and decided to permanently give up gaming. He became one of the top people in his field (Chemical Engineering).
I also knew two other people in college who were not able to kick their gaming habit and failed out of school because of it. It's now about 8 years later I haven't heard from one of the guys, but the other one is still living with his parents and working at Knott's Berry Farm.
Basically, if gaming is taking over your life and is effecting your work/school, then you should seriously consider going cold turkey from gaming for at least a while. Uninstall WoW, give the disk (or access code or changed password or whatever) to a friend or family member, and tell them not to give it back for one month.
However, if gaming doesn't effect your real life, then game on ;D (However this doesn't seem to be the case from what you posted)
