A week has 168 hours. You spend 56 of those hours sleeping. You spend another 40 hours at work, at least. Say you have 72 hours of "free" time left. You are spending more than a quarter of this on WoW. If you have NO other hobbies or interests, this might work. OTOH, if you have no other hobbies or interests, you will be the most boring man alive.

loving AMEN to that. A guy reading this thread just told me that if he ever begins playing WoW, I should punch him repeatedly in the face and then set fire to the game and make him watch it burn.

Jesus christ people, it's a game, not heroin. A person with some self control and time management skills can play it without the game ruining his life.

But if I drank forty hours a week to the point where I never left the apartment and I never hung out with friends or returned phone calls and I called in sick to work so that I could spend the day drinking and I chased off a wonderful girlfriend because she interfered with my daily drinking binges, I'm ABSOLUTELY CERTAIN people would just laugh and say "ah ha ha, that crazy guy and his DRINKING HOBBY, don't be so hard on him!"

I'm just saying that you can play WoW casually without turning into a poopsocking unwashed lump of human excrement. I think some people are overreacting to WoW in general. I agree that the OP specifically is putting an insane amount of time into WoW.

You cannot compare it to stamp collecting or another solo hobby. Wow raiding is a team sport.

People like you are why normal people can't go online and play a silly game with moo-cows and squid-people with their friends.
