No its not addiction actually. Think about it stickynote. How often are you on staredit, how often are you on youtube, myspace, facebook, checking your email, IMing, etc? Okay now take those times and put them together... All I am doing is just doing one thing (WoW) instead of all the others. Like today i probably wont play WoW because ive been on the compute for 2 hours (myspace and staredit.)

I played Guild Wars for awhile and I still occasionally do. The GW community (both noobs and experience, intelligent players.) has a strong, obnoxious anti-WoW sentiment, and I think its silly, and the PvE scrubs in Guild Wars might as well pay up $15 dollars go play WoW. I personally have never played WoW, it doesn't look like throw up as some people will say, but I don't think I will ever play it. My friends play on private servers and love it but I can't trust their opinions as they are prone to forming these dumb personal allegiances with games, TV, etc.

And I might as well: Does anyone on SEN play Guild Wars?

'other stuff' also includes saving the money. Having a general attitude of not spending much money makes you accumulate pretty quickly.

I buy like one game every year or two, and this is one I regret getting. It gave me about a month of great fun before waring off. Anyway, there's a topic on Guild Wars already.

Do private servers count?

Like wait two months, get the StarCraft Battle Chest, save the price on the original WoW disk, and save an extra $15/month for the next ten years. ;P

Screw WoW, want some REAL PvP action?

Go paintballin'

Think of it as a hobby, spending $15 a month on a hobby is by comparison very cheap to say, collecting and painting Warhammer models is it not? But yeah, Starcraft kept me interested for a good 8 years of my life, so it was probally some of the best money I've ever spent.

WoW is alot cheaper than paintballing, pass

But you get what WoW doesnt...I mean SHOULDNT give you.

A rush.

WoW like most good games has moments of extreme tension that can get the adrenaline flowing. Situations where the slightest error can spell disaster for you and your party.

I never felt that when raiding or doing arena's, the game was too sluggish and actions felt 'squishy' which killed any intensity for me. Guild Wars pvp was intense and did provide that 'rush', but pve was definitely lacking more especially when they dumbed down the game because of wowtards complaining 'hulk smash' technique of party management didn't work in the game (hard mode didn't do much to challenge me or the people I played with either).

Yes, I play it. Currently, my account is frozen. I have a level 56 (I think) Orc Warrior on Arthas server. When I reactivate it from it's long slumber, I might find a new server or something. Yes, Horde FTW.

Or you could save your money, since you rebuy the game every three to four months.

real people can be fun, yeah. and No.

No
