Why do people spend so much time on World of Warcraft?

Question by : Why do people spend so much time on World of Warcraft?
My friends and i have been around since the very first warcraft. We saw WoW hit the scene and quite literally took us an hour to get over. This includes install, updates and game play.

I only ask this now as i’ve learned 40% of all WoW players are addicted!!?? Chronically and hopelessly addicted!!??

Is this for real? Are you kidding? Move over meth junkies, weve got n008s starving themselves to death online.

What a joke. I cant possible imagine a good enough answer to this question. Come on you lil geekazoids, why/how do you spend enough time on it to be “Addicted”.
– Haha, we have one response that refers to it as a dose. Nice one.

– If i ate at my favourite restaurant as much as “they” play WoW. I’d be fat and broke. Sound familiar WoW’ers
