Poll: Should I start playing WoW again?

[Rag Doll]

I've stopped playing wow about 8 months ago because I didn't feel like paying for another 2 months of playtime. I've got a lvl 70 character which I've spent countless hours, and my brother plays almost as much as I do. I wouldn't say I had an addiction to the game, but without hobbies or friends I didn't have anything else to do. After quitting things didn't actually get better.

Now I've suddenly gotten the urge to play again, because my life situation hasn't gotten much better. I know that if I start playing, I'll probably spend hours and hours indoors doing quests without getting anything actually done, and sink back people of WoW nerds.

So what trying to ask is: "Should I start wasting my time with something that distances me from normal people, steadily cost me money and probably raises my insecurity to it's peak, just because it's fun and I don't have anything else to do?"

I stopped playing WoW recently, it suddenly just got very boring, and repetitive. I mean I knew it was repetitive before, but its just suddenly become so much more noticeable.

No, you have done well to quit, I havent tried it but Ive seen it destroy lives. Enjoy the sunshine, get an xbox 360, and even maybe the company of a moderately unnatractive girl. The road to life is ahead of you. Take a ride.

If you think it'll be fun then yes.

 

[Hippobatman]

Suit yourself.

If you want to, go for it. If not, well, you get the idea.

We won't look at you any differently.

Tell me, do you enjoy time consuming repetitive unrewarding un-challenging work you have to pay for?

I'm in this same problem i've not played in months but I keep seeing things to do with it everywhere it's tempting me.

There are others like you just remember, WoW is just a drug without a high. If you all band together you can bring this abomination down.

If you stopped playing an MMO, you stopped FOR A REASON. I have. There's nothing wrong but MMOs get in the way of life sometimes, you can play if you can manage your life and an MMO at once... otherwise don't try.

If you have the money and the time you should

Stopped playing a couple of months ago when I realised the only thing that still kept me in the game was the people I knew there, there isn't really any more new game there now. I still keep in touch with those I got to know there though. =)

Yeahhhh go for it. Its a game. If you get hooked on it you are officially weak minded.

Ok just step away from the ledge, take my hand, come on.

Everythings gunna be all right SOMEBODY GET ME A COPY OF LEFT4DEAD OR SOMETHING!!!! STAT!!!

I stopped playing because all my friends who played decided to go travelling or goto uni or whatever for a year. Weve all come back to our hometown and its started again...

But "all my friends do it" is never an excuse to start...

(Were still actively drinking and "outside activiting" at time of writing, 2 weeks into the restart, I think well be ok...)

Condescending much?

Wow won't necessarily eat your life, not everyone alienates themselves from society.

I wouldn't buy it though. To me, it's paying for the chore that is leveling.

 

[Chipperz]

Like I said to the last guy that asked the same question. You're here looking for people to talk you out of something you want to do.

You want to do it, then do it. If you don;t do it, you'll have based a decision on a bunch of internet nerds who don't give a damn about you, and that is far more demeaning than doing something you find fun.

I had the same experience a few months ago.
But yeah, start it, it's good till it gets boring.

Stay strong! You've been off the stuff for so long! Don't give in!

(seriously, I don't care)

WoW, and MMOs in general, are some of the best values in entertainment for the amount of money they cost per month. Because of this, it doesn't steadily cost you money... not as much as other games/gaming systems or dating!

Mwuah! I know, but the cliche dude going through WoW withdraw does fit a certain describtion.
