Oblivion. World of Warcraft didn't really kill much of any part of my life because I hate people in general, so I couldn't get addicted to it. :P

Video games don't destroy social lives. It is the people themselves who destroy their own social lives. Don't put a bad image on video games as a gamer yourself.

I never really had a big social life:(. SO you cant destroy what doesint exist,but one game that had me hooked like crak was kotor. I would basicly get up shower/brush teeth, eat and then play the game for the whole day. I was on it for like 2-3 days.

Starcraft.

I seriously doubt anyone played as much as I did with a game like that.

Counter-strike back in my middle/high school years. I would rush home to spend hours upon hours playing it.

It didn't really destroy my social life though since pretty much every guy in school played the game as well. If anything, it made me more friends.

I'll admit it did leave a dent on my grades.

Counter-Strike, but now it is World of Warcraft that is taking over. I spend 1-2 hours everyday, but I level up because of it.

CS, Oblivion, rainbow 6 vegas, and Unreal Tournament 99 were all probably games that just sucked me in and wouldn't let me go. and RTCW literally took up my entire summer. I played like 8 hours a day i swear i was ranked 5th in the world at one point it was pretty crazy....

Halo 2 - the online multiplayer had me hooked.

Soldier of Fortune II: Double Helix - same as Halo 2.

Wolfenstein: ET - addictive multiplayer.

Team Fortress Classic / Counter Strike

Diablo 2 - I almost lost my girl, my job, and almost dropped out of college. In hindsight, it was total madness.

What is this "SOCOM" you guys are talking about?

World of Warcraft is probably as close to virtual heroin as you can get. It was my favourite game. But i've been clean for almost a year... I really wanna play the expansion though. But I'm not sure if I wanna put another 130days played into that madness...

WoW. I think I can blame just about every anxiety/depression/mental problem I have to this day on that f... game.

I am still hooked, even though I *cant* play it now because my graphics card is on its last stages of dying.

Counter-Strike

When you start getting good, there's nothing quite as rewarding as a killing spree on CS.

It wasn't such a problem, as all my mates I usually go places with all succumbed to the same addiction. So, because of that, I wouldn't of went out much during that time period anyway.

This. Just thinking about the 2 years of feverish D2 play makes me anxious. God I loved D2. I still love it even so many years later.

FFXI...

Dibdibdobdobo

GAH!!! Flacking A!!!!

Four years and still going! Although not nearly as hardcore as before though. Sigh, back in the daze, I'll wake up @7, turn on my PS2, sit down and party for the whole day into the afternoon for levels, then quit, take a 2 hour breather, sit down, join my dynamis LS and then rock out in "Die-namyis" till the cow come home. Sleep, rinse and repeat on Sunday! Now, now "happily" married (Yea right) with a bundle of PAIN on the way, I just don't have time for it anymore, not even weekends! I still play once in awhile (If I'm not stuck in China or the MRs. doesn't throw a tantrum) but it can be months before I get into the game for awhile! In a way, I guess that's good cause I got my social life back again.

P.S. are you still playing and which server you are on?

That reminds me, before WoW I played FFXI for 3 years, I was a 75DRK and 75THF on Ramuh, I had to quit that game for the same reasons I quit WoW, it eats your soul. :twisted:
