I quit, it didn't really consume my life. I never got super hardcore into it, it just required so much time and effort. It is definetly a super fun game, it starts out sooo boring but once you get into it's pretty sick. But yeah I'll admit that it definetly seperated me from some of my friends, school, and stuff. There was a group of us who played it and it was pretty much all we talked about in class. We would all be in the back of chem, physics, calc, or something discussing what we have done or what we need to do, ect. It screwed up my schedule, some nights I would be up till like 3 in the morning playing with my buddies and we'd be dead at school the next day. The teachers knew it too, because they asked others about what was up with us. They just let us be... We would all be literally sleeping in the back. It never really affected my grades though... I maintained the mid 80s I had, but I could of easily done better. Man, what I have said has totally contradicted my original statement, oops. Oh well. Let me restate it now; wow did in fact consume part of my daily life but not nearly to the extent of others, I still had a social life and was able to cope without it. I know people who couldn't stand being away from the game. That's the main problem with the game is if you don't play or keep up what you are doing you lose ranking. So you have to be constantly playing or else you start go down.
