Peer pressure from a friend, who was supposed to help level a bit, but has now stopped playing WoW all together. The very least he could have done was given me his gold.
I too am an admitted wow addicted. A totally self inflicted one at that.
None of my friends play wow.
As soon as I moved out the house and got me an adsl line i thought, ok now time for some online gaming... first was CS but i wanted something a little more rpg and was always a warcraft fan so i thought why not... now the cushioning on my chair is non existent.
I started on wow emu servers back in the 1.3.2 emu days (think that was 2005), played emu on 1.4.2 (got to 60), 1.5 (got to 60), 1.7 (got to 60), think the last emu was 1.12.3 or w/e (got to 60)
at round 1.11 i started official (august 2006) on EU, havent stopped since xD
i didnt rly start from peer pressure, but have been the cause to 5 of my friends starting and being as addicted as me :>
now that i earn monix, i pay 4 wow entirely myself, parents used 2 get harassed 4 wow money 24/7
my /played on total chars is sumthing like 70 days (will get the exact figure 2nite)
since launch
only pve is tickling my fancy now and wont left go
My girlfriend is pretty much more addicted than me (does she want me or my line and cc{kinda the best relationship worry to have imo})
