WoW causes divorces; up 10%!

None of that bothers me as long as the PvP content is good. WoW is the only MMO I've played where I got sick of the PvP content and went to PvE.
 
wow pvp isnt mmo pvp anyway... its a side game. in fact you can completely rip out battlegrounds and arena and make them separate games.
 
I just like when something new comes out and stk explodes back into activity; even if the game is shitty it's a few months of fun with buds
 
I canceled my account months ago, I was only playing a few hours a week at that point, usually farming some mats to level JC on a toon while surfing the web.

I haven't been turning on my computer much now that the weather is warmer, when I do play something it is BF:BC2. I am looking forward to BF3 and honestly Tribes:Ascend, I hope it is decent and good for some casual play.

I remember the original HWL grinds and some people who played a very unhealthy amount of hours. Since that all stopped I don't know of anyone who I could honestly say is so addicted that they've had to drop real life activities or lose their employment over the game.

I look forward to playing now because slowly but surely we've almost filled a 10man with former guildmates as they come and go. We "retired" about 2 years ago (week 1 or 2 of ToC10/25 release) and most never came back. People show up for 2.5-3 hours 1-2 times a week and if we're missing someone we simply don't raid and nobody gets butt hurt about it.

My wife has a good friend who is an addiction specialist and she had a couple people back in the HWL grind days come to her after losing jobs and contemplating suicide after weeks of playing WoW literally 20+ hours a day. She hasn't had a client since then with that addiction (she primarily deals with gambling addiction), but of course that's only one person and it doesn't mean they no longer exist.

Tell me about the old HWL grind. I had a friend who pretty much threw his life away grinding 12 hours a day. I went over to his house one day and he answered the door in whitey tighties, bags under his eyes, and a full grown beard.
