Oh ok. Yes it was. Very sudden! :D

Remind me never to get addicted to WoW (I wouldn't have trouble getting addicted to it; if it's even half as fun as everyone says it is. :))

It's fun. Priests are hard to play because of their lack of survivability. My main is a priest.

You blew off the Round Table for World of Warcraft? For shame. ;)

It happens. Some games are just more addicting than others. I never could get into MMORPGs mainly because I got killed by enough rats in Everquest to realize how stupid it was.

lol. Never got into EQ. I also didn't have a CC back then. Was too young and they didn't have a CC where you could just add money to it rather than a trad CC.

Plus I was playing on a buddy's extra account and I barely had a laptop to run in it. And for some reason, I played as a bard. Even worse, I'd run into people who would say really stupid things. One guy tried to bully me into giving him all my stuff by rooting me in spot and saying "Give me all your money or I'll sick monsters on you." So I sat down and exited the game.

I figured if someone was that petty, I wouldn't bother with the game. Life's too short to play a game with a jerk. Hard enough playing single player as is. ;)

You get a lot of Gold beggars on WoW. It's rather annoying. Just the other day, I had a lvl 1 character ask me for some gold. I told him to go earn it, lol.

I know. And you don't really get gold until you're in your lvl 30's, unless you know what you're doing or you give gold from your main character to one of your alternates, lol.

I would probably enjoy WOW because I do think the graphics and the amazing amount of players are incredible. But I watched my brother kill undead apple gatherers for about six hours and decided that would annoy me too much. I work for a living. I can't put teen time into a game anymore.

Alas, I doubt I will ever have another 36+ hour gaming session again in my life... Unless we open the Celestial Heavens retirement community.

I hear ya. I start to feel guilty for wasting so much time if I play games for more than 3 hours. Thankfully, such guilt passes pretty quickly. But it's getting tougher. I probably have one more year of being able to play games for more than three hours a day.

What a splendid idea. Maybe AS can set something up.

I don't. I can have 12 hour gaming sessions with no guilt whatsoever. And I do work :D.
