  Wow, i've heard of people getting pretty much addicted to the game but i never knew it was that overly serious for an addiction. Glad to hear they gave it up

  My roommate is into WoW pretty hardcore. I just don't get it...he's gotta be there every night. When he misses he needs a better excuse than you would to skip work. Which is exactly what WoW seems to turn into. A part time, or full depending on how hooked you get, job that not only to you not get paid to do...but you have to pay to do it.
  
  Not for me...but 9 million people would disagree with me there.
  
  On the other hand I have a good friend who's guild recently became ranked best in the nation. All he does is PVP and he tells me it's little more than a few hours a week.

    10, actually.
    
    I thought I heard some of the users do get paid, though? Sort of like in-game moderators or something, I dunno. If its true I'm sure its a miniscule percentage of users though..

  <sub>The game sucks though, its on the same level as Runescape and both ruins lives. Don't play them.
  
  About time these people used their brains for once.</sub>

  I was hooked on FFXI for a couple years......I could see the addiction but I knew when to stop. Every once in a while I miss my friends on it, but not enough to get pulled back into it! LOL

    _{I don't think FF11 is on the same level with these 2 games. I loved FF11 but i doubt it ruined lives like these games.}

  This article is genuinely quite sad. It's a shame people let their lives be consumed by a video game. One they pay monthly for, no less.

  How is it not the same level? It has a big community, lots of things to do and lots of expansion packs. It is also painfully slow, forcing you to invest large amounts of your time to accomplish anything. It has almost certainly ruined lives

    It had/has nowhere near the same userbase.
    
    It's like if all the sudden the flu was deadly to everyone, but it was contained like SARS.
    
    Even though it's deadly, AIDS and Cancer are still way bigger threats.
