I'm staying farrrrrr away from the new expansion, though I cannot say the same for my friends. hahaha You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick.

I have to agree, and I know what I'm talking about because I used to play way too much that game. So glad I now do something worthwhile with my time, guitar, that is And if I played guitar as much as I played WoW I'd be the new satriani already WoW players, don't take offense, if you are the kind that can play wow for just a couple hours a day, good for you.

Back in 2006 when I was really into it, there used to be > 1 hour battleground queues, which meant during queues I would play the guitar. It made something of an equal combination of two enjoying activities. You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick. Plus all our lessons are packed with free content!

Playing guitar for 24 hours straight isn't good either. Why can't people mix activities to take the strain off the body. You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick.

Nov 18 2008, 06:12 PM	GMC:er Posts: 274 Joined: 29-May 08 From: Gloucester MA.	This is why i don't play WoW and I play runescape (less addicting. I play it for an hour or two a day and thats only when i get membership which is rare). A good question would be how do you stay awake 24 hours doing the same thing over and over again and not get bored and log off? Is it that addicting?

The problem with WoW is that you aint doing the same thing over and over like in many hardcore training mmo's, you do many different quest and you go to a whole different zone like every level which makes it even more addicting But I dont play it that much I guess im only lv 72 now ( 80 is the max atm) You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick.

I once upon a time had a serious addiction to Age of Empires I and Empire Earth(i was way too good at this game). Battle Field 2 was another one. Now i play a little diablo in anticipation of Diablo 3 and i play Civilization 4. But i can't play games all day.. ive gotta study and play guitar and workout and eat and hangout with friends and drink.. a healthy balance of everything is what is required.. i see way to many addicted gamers..

I play games on Civ 4 and everytime I win and everytime I have no idea what I did, why I did it, why I won and how to win. If anybody can explain why it is a great game and why to play it I would be well happy as I haven't got a clue.
