I played world of Warcraft for several years and really enjoyed it. I think I quit around 2012 because it’s a huge waste of time when I should be outdoors and having fun instead. I do miss it, but I won’t go back to those kinds of games.
That's the reason I refuse to play videogames in the first place. Not that I consider myself superior to anybody but they just have a way of sucking you in and keeping you from doing the things you ought to be doing in life, such as getting fresh air, meeting real people, reading some good books, etc.
Back in the early 1990s when computers were just starting to be in everybody's homes, I briefly got hooked on the ID games like Wolfenstein 3-D and DOOM. I remember being up until 2 or 3 am playing those with my wife sleeping next door and my kids long since put to bed. And me having to get up in a few hours to go to work.
I realized it was a very unhealthy habit and so was able to stop. I think Quake (also by ID) was the very last game I played and that would have been around 1994 or 1995.
After that, nothing, except an occasional game of Freecell or Minesweeper while stuck on some incredibly boring conference call at work.
WoW kept track of minutes played. I know I’ve played over 400 days of WoW. Over a year of my life spent playing that game. lol
I haven’t played in a while, but I don’t regret it. I made some good friends and memories.
