I think that I have finally hit addiction status on World of Warcraft. I love the game to death, but that might be exactly where the problem lies. I find myself scheduling the important things in life around Warcraft. A coworker offered me two extra hours at work the other night (about $15 worth), but I declined so that I could get home and play for two more hours. My job search has slowed to a crawl because of the game. I even eat protein bars more often than real food because it's quicker. All for the sake of fantasy world. Kind of pathetic when you think about it.

I guess you could call it an escape. People do it with movies and television all the time. I used to watch a movie every day. I suppose justifying it like that doesn't really work, since a movie is usually two hours or less, and I've been playing about 6 hours per day. It's just more exciting than my current life. It's too cold for biking, I don't know anyone in this city yet, and I'm too broke to go out.

I just wonder, where is the line drawn with MMORPG's? When does it all become too much?
