Quit WoW Addiction, Win at Life.

How it started

It started before the game was even out. Too escape my life I used to play the mmo ultimate online but that was nothing serious maybe 2-10 hours a week. When I heard about WoW I logged onto the blizzard website to check out races and class combinations at this time I was an A class student.

So the day came, 3 copies of the game came (2 for my brothers). At first I was only playing afew hours aweek. The hours creeped up the girl friend started complaining more. I went 2 weeks during the christmas hoildays without seeing my gf, I got a text saying that I wasn't spending time with her anymore, she ended the relationship.

I was devestated.. I got hooked, every moment where I didn't have wow I though about it and to make things worse the game made me more shy at school which in turn made me want to escape to my more comfortable life wow. My parents didn't give a crap they never have, I decided to quit, I did this by purposly breaking my laptop.

Afew years later I'm at uni and my friend says that his boss plays wow, until then I'd never heard the game term since I last played. I though I'd take a look and seehow things were. I said to myself this time I will play in moderation! Real life will have the priority... Didn't turn out like that, I dropped out of uni and wasted a whole year of my life. So today I quit wow I sold my account for a reasonable amount of money. I feel like q part of me has died and I shall miss my other life dearly. But when I look at everything that's happned, a lost gf, whole year of university wasted I think too myself - "wtf was I doing?!"

I'm glad you quit early! Imagine looking back at having lost 3 years or 5 years of your life to WoW as some people here have. Now that you realize what you missed out on during that year, try to make up for it each day! Good luck at school!
