I want to play WOW, like really bad, but I had a bad addiction to an online game called Evony. Yep Hi, my name is "Blue".... I look like a hippy business lady but I was addicted to a war game. It was a war game, and we had alliances and would talk and joke all the time. I had cybersex with these strangers on many occasions. It lasted about 4 years. I havent played in about 4 months I think. But it became an actual "addiction" because I spent thousands (seriously $2-4k) of dollars on it, buying upgrades for weapons and these amulets you could spin and win food and resources to build your army. And I wasted time there when I should've been spending time with my kids, or working, or a million more other more productive things. It ran in real time, so I'd have to be on guard for getting attacked, running bots and have warnings that woke me up, had to keep computer running 24/7.

Thanks for letting me get that off my chest... Maybe I can try to get over it now. But it was a harmful addiction for me and many others. If I'm addicted to an online mental health support group that's quite an improvement.

So Dan, I've always wanted to play WOW, would it be a risk to an obsessive type personality like me, do you think? I think Evony is evil thievery. WOW is probably not like that?
