Yeah wow, WoW more interesting than life?

Taking a dump is more interesting than WoW.

[Dis]

no it isn't. I hate when having to take a dump during a busy period of wow like an instance. I should have a ****ter built into my chair.

if wow wasn't interesting I wouldn't be playing it.

As for real life, I'd rather do that, but I'm a failure at it.

3 months is good.

the game is too addicting to me, and I played too much. the competition with other players pushes me to power level and such.

my carpal tunnel is pretty bad, and I'm going to give this game up. I haven't cancelled yet because I still have like a month left of my 3 month contract. I originally signed on for like a month last march (not including my original sign on over 2 years ago which lasted one day). Then did a 3 month deal.

I did play a game of civ last night, it's a little easier on my hands. but I can get really addicted to that game as well and not pay attention to my hand posture. especially when I really start getting into wars. What scares me is I won't be able to play computer games anymore.

So I'm done with wow, but I'll hang around to answer questions about the game.

you know that I have spent my entire life on the computer for years, and never gotten carpal tunnel

you just have to adjust your hand position

And yet Blake, you hang out at the WoW threads more than you hang out at the "take a dump" threads.

And seemingly understands the game pretty well too. Funny that.

It's something to do.

And I played WoW obsessively for like 6 months or something and I tend to know pretty much everything about every game I've ever played - that's what I do...

Besides, WoW is okay. It's just playing it which sucks.

Can't be that bad then. Unless you have really bad taste.

[Blake]

One word:
Addictive.



People don't stick with addictions because they taste good .

[DrSpike]

Well then it must be fun, even if it is predominantly on some primal 'monkey want epic' level.

[Blake]

The thing is, it wasn't even hard to quit.

I was just like:

Hey wait a sec, this is boring.

And quit.

Just like that, it was liberating, no desire to play WoW at all. I mean I sold my account and all just to burn the bridges, but then an on-line friend offered to let me play on his account whenever I wanted, I actually did once and just couldn't stand it. Urgggh.

WoW isn't bad initially, but make sure to quit when it becomes bad.

Technically it's more habit forming than addictive.

[DrSpike]

It wasn't hard after 6 months you mean.
