I went through the same. I played WoW for over a year while I was in college. I was adicted, period. I would play 6, 8, 10, up to 12 hours a day. Lost that year in college, lost my girlfriend and lost some good friends.

I don't remember the exact day I stoped, but it was hard at first, even today when I read news about the game and the new expantions I feel like playing. But just thinking I'd have to quit social life again, quit Poser (can't handle two addictive activities), quit console gaming and any other kind of gaming in general, keeps me from joining again.

Now that I think about it, the way I feel nowdays when I look back or consider starting to play again, is that now I'm "free", no raiding scheduels, no farming for mats, no farming for items. I'm much better off without it.

Poser is adictive, but I can stop any time, for any number of weeks or months or years, and when I come back my stuff wont be outdated, nerfed or otherwise.

Zugzug!
