Sister-site WoW Insider really has all the details on patch 2.1 for World of Warcraft. The newest patch opens up the Black Temple, along with a slew of other content, that tells the story of ... oh, who are we kidding? Do people even read the quests anymore? By level 60 isn't it just standard ops to find question mark NPC, accept, do the quest (kill, collect or escort), hand in, get phat lootz, rinse and repeat? Sure, it's been the same thing for 70 levels, the same raids over and over again, but can we stop? Can anybody stop?
If you haven't taken your first hit of WoW -- be happy. If you broke the habit -- be overjoyed. The rest of us are still licking the baby Murloc and just letting the drug course through our veins. How obsessed are WoW addicts? We haven't looked, but we're sure there's a thread on the WoW forums asking where patch 2.2 is already.

Never played this game. Like Sudoku, American Idol, and free basing Ex-Lax, it's one thing I'll never enjoy. And that's OK.

Kicked the habit. Suffered from severe altaholism. Seriously, grinding above lv30 sucked. So I just kept working characters up to 30. Eventually, even that grew old. Dropped it, just been kicking between all the free MMOs. Currenly on Audition...

This article isn't at all biased or written by a critic of WoW is it?

Isn't it ironic that this is a patch that actually increases addiction, instead of weaning one off of it? ^^

Never played it and never will. Too cartoony for me. I did get into Dungeons and Dragons:Online for few months. That game was sick and had a great combat system IMO. But it became too hard and groups were getting hard to come by. So I quit when my son was born.

bleh, I played this game from the beta to Naxxramas. It's hard to believe people aren't burned out on it yet.

I played from closed beta up till 2 months ago. So thats over 3 years right there + 1 year of Final Fantasy 11 + 5 years of Ultima Online. Looking back at it all. I never want to play an MMO ever again.
Wake me up when Unreal Tournament 3 or Starcraft 2 hits.

I play WoW everyday. I have a PS2 w/HDL 0.8b GOW2 patch and 200gbHD...and it just sits there...looking...seething...
But seriously. The AH has the power to control your life.
It got me. I said I'd never play it. Some people at work gave me a free trial card and I was hooked.
My PS2 is angry for being alone...Seething...Waiting

Yeah... I was convulsing all day.
What these "media outlets" fail to inform you of is the results of intense deprivation on patch day -- and thus down realms -- can have on a severely WoW-addicted individual.
I cried a little when they told me my realm was going to be down for another 2 hours.

Quiting WoW was one of the best things that I've ever done. If you have a bit of an addictive tendency avoid the game unless you can really afford to give up all your free time.

I kicked this habit long ago. After lvl 60 what was left to do?
But the pushers backed me into a corner, injected me with a 10-day free sample of WOWBC, and sadly, I am hooked again.
Someone please help me.
