I used to play World of Warcraft, and a few of my family members (including my husband) still play it.
I barely ever get to talk to my mother anymore because she plays so much. Two of my sisters stopped playing. Two of my brothers play it. One of them recently quit, but the other still plays. I was on and off with it since a few months after it came out, and now I think I'm done with it completely.
It was more of an outlet for me when it started out. It got to the point where I felt it was an obligation to be on, and I didn't like that at all. While my children were homeschooled a couple years ago, I quit playing completely, then, I came back during that summer, and last year they went to school, and I played for a few months. It lost its faux luster.
Haven't played since the beginning of May, and I'm really glad to be rid of it. I still get the temptation to play, but thus far (thank God) I've resisted re-upping my account.
I watch my husband play, and I just lol because of how much time he spends on it, and the seriousness of the "lewt" and the obligation he has. It's almost as if it's a second job to him.
It was worse before, though. All he did for a couple years there was raid, raid, raid. It was only between the expansions that we quit for a while. He got back on when it came out, I didn't. I relented, he continued. I quit, he continued.
I hope that he quits eventually. I'm just kinda waiting for it.
