Master Looter  Posts: 1648 Joined: 2 Nov 2008  | At one point I was insanely addicted to MapleStory, that game was like drugs to me. I was playing around 10-22 hours a day and was sleeping about 10-15 hours a week x_x edit: Oh, wow, I didn't pay attention to the date of the thread at all, sorry for the bump =x |

Master Looter  Posts: 1720 Joined: 20 Mar 2008   | I'm pretty certain I had a clinical addiction to Runescape for nearly two years, back in highschool. I eventually climbed myself out of that rut, though. 'course, now that I have four months off, I seem to be descending into a Fallout 3 addiction. Yee, and haw! |

Adventurer  Posts: 242 Joined: 21 Mar 2009   | Yeah I've had a few addictions over the years. I played World of Warcraft for four years (I started not long after the beta) and played far, far too much for at least one and a half of those years. I was also temporarily addicted to Mass Effect due to its awesome storyline. |
Master Looter  Posts: 1417 Joined: 31 Jul 2009    | I have been told that I have been addicted before. Particularly to WoW and Starcraft. I played these games often, but never to the point where I started totally neglecting my health, my job, or school. It even got to the point where my parents told me I needed counseling and after I went to a couple sessions, the counselor said I was not addicted. It was just a combination of being lonely and frustrated with stupid drama that was going on in my life. Given more opportunities at the time I would have gladly taken them, but I was just playing the waiting game at that point. |
