WoW has been a huge part of my life for the last year and a half. It sorta filled in the cracks where there was previously nothing to do. Well, its also displaced things that I'd rather be doing. Like, I wanna go see my friends gigs this weekend, but I'm required to raid. I've actually missed days of school becasuse I "needed" to get the next PvP rank. I hate to admit it, but I don't want to get a night/evening job (the only hours I have available because of school) because then I wouldn't be able to play WoW. This little addiction of mine has really screwed up my priorities. I will admit that it is a bit pathetic, but others may sympathize - WoW isn't just a video game, its a social world. And not only that, the game is designed to take up as much of your time as possible.
WoW lends itself nicely to my life right now. I live in a really boring neighborhood, far away from all sources of entertainment. Why travel an hour just to hang out at a cafe or something when you could just roll out of bed and play WoW? Hell, why travel an hour each way for a 90 minute class? Well, my lease is up and I'm going to move - ideally to a neighborhood with more entertainment options than I have now, as well as closer to school. Not only will the process of looking for a new place require more time than I have now with WoW, but as you can tell, the game itself is just not healthy for someone who has a lot of time on their hands.
