There are a bunch of stories like that which are probably true and probably why other people think That could be me and try playing one of the most objectively tedious and time-gated games of all time.

No the best part was that he nuked his account here but then re-regged so he could argue with people via proxy on messaging services.

I think that the best part is that now, 6 months later, he has not scaled back playing WoW at all, despite the ridicule he endured for gaming too hard.

I wonder if it's going to be like the hardcore Everquest guys when the game becomes desolate and they join a private server. Loot and vanity items become way easier to get and they no longer have their epeen because nobody gives a poo poo and they either wind up dead, addicted to drugs/alcohol, in financial ruin because they have no life skills and have multiple divources, or in jail.

It's honestly funny how little people get mad about wipes and poo poo when they can do raids whenever they want. You don't even need DKP systems.

We're talking about World of Warcraft here, it's not going to end until Blizzard says it ends, and even then, they will introduce a sparkly new treadmill for everyone to transfer to.

The summer D2 came out, I would wake up at 6am, use the bathroom, grab a bannana while running to my computer, and play D2 until I went to bed around midnight. Every day for three months.

E: Except my birthday, I ate dinner and didn't play D2 after dinner that night.
