I know we have a few players in the audience here...
FWIW, I was addicted to UO before Y2K, when I started using it as a second income, my addiction ended.
Taken from the UO website:
...accounts that are old enough will be able to choose from five new rewards: a Red Soulstone, a Player Statue Maker, a Decorative Cannon, a Weapon Engraving Tool and a Rideable Polar Bear!
Rideable Polar Bear... I laughed for a minute and a half straight.
I play and would say that in the past I was an addict. Now I play a few nights a week or something. Would also quit playing all together if I had something else to do with my free time.
Odd how much I used to love games, yet MMPOG has never once interested me.
I'm not addicted anymore... not after I went to florida.
However now that I'm not in florida it may come back with force. Not alot of shit to do here.
My flatmate has got the game yet we are waiting a little bit longer (until around November) before he goes ahead to purchase a laptop which he will mainly use to play WoW. He won't be addicted, just play it for hours and hours and hours on end..............as well... that's what he already does with the XBox360. He finished Oblivion in "record time"... and anyone with any experience with that game will realise how huge that one is... and I mean finished.. all the big, small and in between "missions"... done.
He wants WoW because all of the people he knows are on it. I also told him that if he is smart about it that he could possibly make it a lucrative side income by creating then selling characters on ebay (like I have seen people do already). It wouldn't take him long since he spends a good portion of his time playing console games anyway.
He's also an RPG buff.. y'know.. D&D so this is definatley right up his alley.
My younger brother is on it... I wouldn't say addicted just that it is something he likes to do in his free time to "chill". Just like I like being here and elsewhere on the internet..
WOW is the "other woman" in my marriage, I'd opt to say the addiction rate is much higher...lol.
