hey, not exactly sure why im posting this here except maybe the question is just kinda crazy.
I was just wondering, how much do u guys play of wow? i mean am I OVERLY addicted to wow lol, or am I in the norm? I play like 7-8 hours a day, depending sometimes more sometimes less, and ive stayed up till like 4 A.M. just so i could level.
Are you guys like this too, or is there something wrong with me???????? lol thanks and dont laugh if you find this a stupid question.

i only play when i'm not out doing stuff with friends and whatnot, and when i don't hang out with friends for a long while i usually don't play constantly... usually have a break or 2 where i only play casually vs. hardcore

I play WoW only a little more than I did FFXI.
I get off work at 3 am and go to bed around 7 am. Sometimes after work I study technical crap in the hopes of an eventual job promotion, but most nights I play when I get home until bed time.
I sleep too much on the weekends, but spend most of my waking hours Friday and Saturday playing. Sundays are too busy to do anything in-game.
I should probably take a weekend off from the games to get things done. My car needs a tune up and the house could use a good clean.

Honestly I think my work schedule is more of a problem than the game. When I wake up 7 or 8 pm on the weekends, most places are already closed. My friends usually want to hang out with me and drink but since I've just woken up, alcohol isn't really appealing. Most times I stay home by myself and when I'm finally awake and wanting to have fun, it's already around 2 am and everyone's going to bed. It's kinda depressing.

I must confess I have had a couple of periods (about 2-3 months each) where I didn't have a job, and all I would do is play WoW and get high.
Towards the end of these periods, I was a wreck. I would look extremely pasty and unhealthy, had little or no social life, and ended up rather unhappy. All the hallmarks of addiction. Lo and behold, if the servers went down (which they did frequesntly at launch) I was not a happy bunny.
For the other 18 months or so that WoW has been around I have either been taking a break or playing about 7-8 hours a week. Now I normally play a couple hours on a couple of weeknights and most of Sunday.
Obviously it is far more important to have a real life. Work hard, Have a social life, get outside, meet people etc..
A wise man once said "time wasted having fun is not time wasted at all". I have to disagree. So many opportunities can be wasted by staying indoors playing WoW all day. When you are on your death bed, you won't looking back on your life and say "Well I got that uber epic weapon so I had a good life."
All in all, WoW is a lot of fun and can be addictive and habit-forming as hell. No one will realise this until they experience the bad effects themselves, and thankfully most people wouldn't let themself get this far anyway.
Just remember it's a game, all things are good in moderation.

On your deathbed it wont matter what you had, as your just about to lose it haha, so losing less valuable stuff like an epicced char would actually benefit you :) Hehe jk
But anyway, when I got wow, I had 2 whole month to fill with anything, no work, no learning, nothing. As it was summer most of my friends werent home, so I decided to play a lot of WoW, and yeah it was 7-9 hours a day :) Skipping about 1 day each week to go out with some friends.
When it finished, and I had to work AND study so the 7-9 hours a day went down to 0.5-1 hours it was ANNOYING!
I would still like to have no life and play like all day long without caring about no ****...I dont see a problem with it if you go out with your friends sometimes...but who the **** except little children skipping school can do this?? I envy them...
