Hi, my name is Bill...

Then I thought in my heart, "The fate of the fool will overtake me also..."
- Ecclesiastes 2:15

I estimate that I spent 3120 hours playing MMO's in the last 4 years: Asheron's Call, Everquest, Dark Age of Camelot, Asheron's Call 2, Star Wars Galaxies, Final Fantasy XI, World of Warcraft. If you were to do nothing but sleep 8 hours a day and play MMO's, it'd take you 6 and a half months to rack up that many hours. If you work 40-hour weeks, it'd take you 18 months to put in that much time. It's not like if I hadn't been playing MMO's, I would've put all that time to good use. I should've slept at least a third it. So let's call it a lost work-year.

You can argue that I learned a lot that would help me in making an MMO, but that excuse stopped working in February when we stopped making one. You can also argue that it's a shameful waste of the only thing we really have: time.

It might've gone on like this, but World of Warcraft is really, really fun. Too fun. DAOC is to marijuana as WoW is to heroin. When edoublea and I did the math this afternoon, I had him change my password so I can't log in anymore. Get thee behind me Satan, I'm tired of being your junkie.
