I played WoW for exactly one month, back when... I think Wrath of the Lich King or something? When that was new, and they'd just revamped all the starter areas. I got my character all the way up to level 60, bought the next expansion, then let my subscription lapse for a week. And... during that one week, it dawned on me just how much free time I had. Free time that, when WoW was available, would have by default been playing WoW.

I stopped immediately, and haven't looked back. I really enjoy single player games, but something about WoW's core loop just... pulled me in. I couldn't do it in moderation.

I still play a single player game here and there. I'm so far behind in games that the free ones that come out on PSPlus are typically new to me. I need to be able to play for 30 minutes and then move on if needed be. Multiplayer/MMOs just do not work that way. And, if people you know play then it becomes this loop of playing together to get better and never really stopping.

Glad you're doing well! :) Would be happy to share your story on the website if you feel inclined to share: http://gamequitters.com/submit
