I have been playing wow since day one, had nothing to do during school times, never though of quitting but since I started with Varsity this year I haven't had 1 spare day to play wow :(

It might be the end for me I have more or less 400 days /played :<

Guess i have to prio studies now :(* or any suggestions how both can work out?:S

exactly my view. try balancing honours studies, a gf, and muru training in 1 week...takes quite some balance and sweet talk!

i had to scale down on raiding a bit so atm i put on some top gear episodes and farm rep like a sad person. at least i will have some titles :(

Put the USB Logitech headset down, close WoW, close vent and back away slowly, never to return.

Best decision I ever made.

Girlfriends come and go, epics are soulbound! You can balance it if you try hard enough.

All of us here in the WoW forums are so happy for you. No go troll somewhere else.

If you're at varsity, kiss your WoW life goodbye. You will not regret it. Varsity will take up ALL of your time.

WoW isn't going to secure you a job one day, think about it.

Best decision you can make! WoW is just a game, your studies over the next few years are your future! Don't try and juggle wow addiction with studies, in 90% of all cases it does not work. In a few years time there may be a new game out, if your still into gaming. For now though enjoy varsity.

I am also in a point of my life where I need to decide if I want to play wow or focus on my career. Raiding 4 days a week till 1am does have an effect on your productivity :(

Voicy is 100% correct. This decision is a no-brainer.

Agreed on the raiding part but if you tone down on your WoW you can it all. If you find that WoW is getting more important than your studies then rather give it up.

All thinks in moderation.

No don't listen to them WOW is EVERYTHING!!
make some more WOW time take sickdays and leave man.

If you find your studies is getting more important than wow give it up.Go apply at blizzard for job.

If real life suck just log onto your OP DK and pawn everything.

I always feel good after bad day i log on and go into STV 1 shot all the allies.That or buy boxing bag with gloves.

Always wish i could read ally general chat about myself in STV :)

I too have around 300 days played + many alts. This week I decided enough is enough.

To substitue I am now playing runes of magic, where everything is new, and funnily enough, I spend less time playing as it is going to take a while before I do high end content.

When u hit 30 or 40 years of age, what will u have to show for ur 400 days played? Not much I am afraid, the time u have in varsity, rather use that for ur studies, as thats whats going to make u a somebody later in life.

All the time and effort that we put into this game makes it sad , yes it is just a game, have always been one, but one I enjoyed with friends people over seas and just about everyone / every boss encounter / pvp we raided or played. When I hit 30-40 it probably wont show anything I agree, just feel so much different that I cant spend time on MMO's like i used to ;/.

Was a fun ride but I decided to quit the game for about 4months, never thought I would have said it, I loved the game still do but real life priority comes 1st ;/
So I leave behind a Paladin with 200 days played
a priest with 40 days and a druid with 200 days
also a few other chars making up 20 days or so, enough is enough =)
