      I have been playing WOW since 2005 and had to pull myself away from the game. I allowed myself to get  involved in a fantasy world to the point it was more like an obligation than actual fun. I started to get  involved with helping others with their wants, and actually had a time schedule with others to raid, guild meetings, and RP events. The game does involve a lot  of research and strategy but is also extremely easy to play and lose track of time with. I told my husband I didn't want to play anymore because of the guild wanting to much of me. He looked at me kind of puzzled and said I shouldn't delete all my toons and I should just quit the guild. It took me 1 month to quit the guild, ( I know sounds crazy), because I felt badly for leaving them. I now only play while my children are in school and at night after they go to sleep. My hubby pretty much makes me go to sleep at the same time he does so I don't stay up to 3:30 am playing, which is the same time he wakes up to leave for work.  Now, I don't blame WOW for my addiction but rather myself for being so weak and not taking care of my own responsibilities.  WOTLK ( Wrath of the Lich King) will be out soon and I will have to be careful not to play all day again like I was.
