What has gotten into this world and MMORPGs?!

This game has completely taken over my life. I cannot and probably will not ever stop playing it.

It all began two years ago inncocently enough. I bought this game and it was my first MMORPG. I was making 80k a year had a wife, a 3 month old son, and a house. At first the game only took up a small amount of my time.

After about 3 months I was a full fledged addicted WoW gamer. I stopped changing my sons diapers, mowing the lawn, making love to my wife, bathing, and working out.

After 1 year I was on the brink of losing my house and family. I thought I could control the addiction and threw my computer into a dumpster. That same night, at 2am, I drove to the dumpster almost 20 miles from my home and rumuged through it for my PC.

I lost my job two weeks later and was forced to forclose on our brand new home 2 months after that.

A few weeks after losing the house my wife left me.

I have not seen her or my child in nearly six months. I now live with my parents and am still unemployed.

I have tried suicide several different times but failed miserably each time. I believe next time I will forgo the inconvience of failed suicide by using a remmington rifle and a bullet.

Well, I have to get my tier 3 gear first, then Ill probably commit suicide. Ill have to run it by the guildies first. Sorry this is so long.

Damn...... some of those REALLY ARE depressing to read. Throwing away your life like that..... I wish I could be making 80k a year.
