He was pretty ok when he played EverQuest and Dark age of Camelot. It's when he started playing WOW that things got out of hand. It's been about a year since I last heard from him.

While I played, I pretty much lost 3 of the most important years of my life that I will never get back and lost a bunch of friends as well. By the time I quit earlier this year, I realized that I had really gained nothing and lost so much. Don't make the same mistake. You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick.

Then, when I got bored with it, I just stopped playing. I think there might be some other reasons that they only play a game and not do anything else than addiction, it can work as somewhere to hide from "real" life, etc. I mean, you don't end up getting addicted to a game if everything else in your life is super, remember that.

I would spend my entire life on there. I havent played any games since I started with guitar, im most likely addicted to that now... still its alot cooler to be addicted to a musical instrament than any computer game You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick.

Thats what is lost, that and the creative output you get from playing guitar In terms of people playing it 12+ hours a day, I mean, get real, what a waste, I played it for an hour and got bored (same with Guild Wars) , it was tedious, just number counting, point and click, meaningless, even the actual game didnt require a lot of thought. I dont understand how people could like it. You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick. Plus all our lessons are packed with free content!

Wasnt really impressed with the game- wasnt boring as such but just didnt really do it for me, tried it for 15 minutes and went to play guitar instead Thats so sad that it can affect people's lives like that though...
