WoW goes off line for a week. What Do?

[I stand in fire]

Day 1) Be missing wow

Day 2) Miss wow even harder

day 3) full blown withdrawal

day 4) still under withdrawal, I start masturbating 10-12 times a day because I don't have WoW to distract me from my sex addiction.

day 5) woke up naked in the jail cell after being arrested for running naked through a crowded mall yelling, "HELP! PINK PANDA BEARS ARE TRYING TO RAPE ME!".... Meth is a hell of a drug. still masturbating way too much.

day 6) Posted bail. tried to break into Blizzard's office to play wow, only to find the servers where down there to (go figure). Instead look up porn on Bashiok's computer before being discovered.

day 7) After laying in the fetal position for hours after my epic escape from blizzard's security guards and local police. I began to see the impact of my addiction is having on my life. I consider getting help to turn... oh! the servers are back up!!

Day 1) Get up early, go to the game-store, buy Dead Space 2 for console, complete it on atleast 2 difficulties before the day is over.

Day 2) I play HoN all day.

Day 3) I start the day off with watching Terminator 1, 2 & 3 on Blue Ray, then I spend the rest of the day with a mate of mine.

Day 4) In the morning I listen to metal music while headbanging like a madman even tho I fail at it, then I play HoN for the rest of the day.

Day 5) Finish Red Dead Redemption.

Day 6) Finish Dante's Inferno, then beating it on the hardest difficulty.

Day 7) I spend the entire day preparing myself for WoW to come back online.

[sscavenger]

Day 1) Denial. Attempt to log in repeatedly for several hours, check MMO Champion and official web site repeatedly. Uninstall and reinstall WoW in an attempt to fix the problem.

Day 2) A bit of acceptance. Accept that WoW is offline, punch the walls repeatedly. Frighten my kittens, storm around the house cursing and screaming. Venture out into the world, eye twitching visibly. Growling as I begin to deal with the with drawl of dailies. Carefully laid plans of transmutes and farming ruined.

Day 3) Dusting off the old consoles. To ease the pain of addiction I break out the old game systems, SNES, and Dreamcast. Revel in the nostalgia. The simplicity of some of the older games, remember the awe caused by others from the things that were made capable by the old systems.

Day 4) Begin to apply the WoW terms to everyday life, manage to face pull angry children in the mall. Have to resist the urge to aoe crush them all by plowing through them. Madness begins to set in, hear the whispers of the Old Gods. Try to keep a grip on things.

Day 5) Barricaded myself in my room... the whispering won't stop. My kittens are agents of the Old Gods, I should have seen it coming. I have CC'ed them with an ample supply of food and catnip. The whispers lessen, turn up the volume on the tv to drown them out. Check MMO for others that suffer the same problem, find none... Darkside oddly absent on the subject.

Day 6) They tried to come for me in the night. My barricade nearly fell, need a healer to fix it but none are logged on. Had to make due with bandages made out of my clothes. Supplies are getting low, damn mage food despawned while I slept. Still have soda though, it may be a low level dot but it is all I have.

Day 7) the light has abandoned me, here i make my last stand, they are coming and i am tired, i will not survive more than likely, let my comrades sing songs of my battle, let me be remembered in song for on this day i shall stand atop a mountain of corpses as i draw my last breath, they send the kittens first, i see their tiny paws poking out from under my door, cc wore off, i must go now, do not let the whispers lure you in

[foxHeart]

Bitch and moan, then warily put Final Fantasy XIII back into the disc drive. After loading my latest save, I will then proceed to attempt bosses that I haven't grinded nearly enough to beat. I will then swear about how fucking retarded Japanese people are and how I want a game to guide me through the experience/crystarium points that I need to be able to stand up to their ridiculous bosses, not one that requires me to go out and grind monsters for five hours, then come back to still get my ass handed to me by broken mechanics completely dependent on how well your stats have been boosted. I will eventually give in and go back to mindlessly grinding my characters until they're maxed out, then come back and swear at how dumb the bosses are. I will then craft a quill, then go about writing in my own blood a letter to Square Enix about how much I hate their guts and how not everyone enjoys bosses who repeatedly fuck you and how Japanese people may enjoy masturbating with sandpaper and creating Ninja Gaiden/insanely hard games, but many other people actually play for enjoyment, not out of some masochistic desire to be punished because they have maternal attachment issues. I will then cry, lie down in the fetal position, and fall asleep. I will die from my ulcer in my sleep and plant life will find it impossible to flourish on the ground surrounding my grave for the next hundred years because my hatred for that stupid game resides even in death and radiates from me like a poisonous cloud of despair. My life will then be made into a movie and a guy way cooler and way more attractive and way more socially acceptable will play me.

I will have sex with my wife everyday instead of on non-raid nights.

Yeah this is spot on. Although I think "Try to" Is closer to the truth than "I will" lol

[Thetruth1400]

Go about my normal every day life and only notice due to the massive QQ on the forums considering I've been out of game for a while now anyway.
Enjoy all the QQ and nerd rage while it lasts.
Sit back and wonder if I was ever that addicted to a game before.
Realize yes, but be thankful I'm not anymore.
