WoW made me doit

I just pulled my first gaming all-nighter in quite some time. (I think the first and only other time when I forget to sleep over playing a game was years ago while playing CivI).

And I didn't even do something special. I just wasted time. Went fishing. Cooked the fish. Improved my tailoring a bit, sold the bags I created in the WoW's "Shopping Channel" while fishing some more... got some new skills, made an easy quest, walked around a bit, "collected" some more reagents for my tailoring and cooking skill, disenchanted my tailored stuff to raise my enchantment skills... stuff like that.

Played a bit hide and seek with underwater monsters 5-10 levels above me... improved my wand slinging, drank some dwarven ale with a stranger I had just helped to get out of a sticky situation...

So:

"Hello, my name is spellcaster and I am a WoW addict."

I was thinking about doing an all-nighter last night, but I have off work today so I wanted to rest up for a all dayer & all nighter today. :) Probably 20 solid hours of play coming up on me. Time flies when you play that game.

Actually I think I'm a tad ugly, but some women disagree, mostly Asians for some reason.

Now.. Where is the statistics for "dead" (as in, addicted to WoW) a.cc'ers?

Ahahahah! Join us and the Dark Iron Dwarves! (See, that's a World of Warcraft pun. Dark Iron Dwarves... Dark Side of the Force? Get it? ;))

Additional funny thing to know:
I got a mail from the "City of Heroes" operators today that gave me 2 more free days as an apology for a few lagging issues they had some weeks ago. And while there was some lag n CoH, it was never really disturbing.
The thing that made me stop playing CoH (and after that buying WoW) was simply that the level design (maps and textures) is boring and very repetive, and that their missions are boring. Extremly boring. And they seem to never change regardless of level. Combina boring missions with bad level design and some other issues ... and you have a game that is no fun after a couple of days.
And that's what I told them as well. Let's see if I get any response :)

This makes me think of scary movies.

"It steals souls... will YOURS be next?"

Dundundundunnn! Now I know I definitely am NOT playing WoW or ANY other MMORPGs. The evil! The terror!

If you don't want to be addicted: Play CoH :)

I've noticed some of this with WoW. But it's still fun.

I'm getting tired of all the programming threads cluttering up the forum. Bah!

See attached... If I could just get the dates you were born and the date your soul became part of Blizzard I'll put dates on them as well :)

Heh, that all nighter probably was a good idea as World of Warcraft went down for eight hours this morning for maintenance. It should've been back up since an hour ago, so I'm off. :)

Man.. that game scares me shitless - I'll never even dare to look at it!

Bought Vampire: Bloodlines the other day - hope it's not that addictive..

That's the first time I hear people say that they don't want the best game there is on the market today :)
And it doesn't even require top-notch hardware to run and look good...

I'm staying away from it... it has symptoms much like crack/cocaine.

They fear its awesome power. They are too weak to handle it! They are educated stupid and do not understand the truth of nature's harmonic simultaneous four-day World of Warcraft gaming session!

They were one hour late with finishing their maintenance and now I can't login. I want my money back. ;) Just kidding, Blizzard owns enough of my soul already to make me not complain earnestly.
