I was addicted to Asheron's Call when it came out and then a second time with the Dark Majesty expansion. I played for about 2 years altogether. I left both times due to my guild dieing more than dissatisfaction with the game. I'm resisting the urge to go back again with the recent expansion pack - there are a dozen other games I want to experience. But AC had the friendliest and most supportive community along with fantastic gameplay.

WoW was nice for 8 months but the nightmarish gameplay for a paladin at 60 killed the addiction nicely. Even worse, there were a lot of intentionally offensive players.

There were a few others that I didn't get addicted to - EQ, AO, Eve, ATITD. I either came to the party too late or they lacked that tasty zip.

I'm happiest when I'm addicted to some sort of game though, MMORPG or other. You just have to love some real-life family and walk away from the game when it gets boring. MMORPG's can be fun for a while but no game lasts forever.
