WoW? No, gaming in general? Hell yeah, however "living life" is a dumb term imo. I love the way I spend my time, I've made many good friendships because of it and wouldn't trade it for anything.

As playing WoW is a activity which takes place in your real life, it's impossible to play more, than to live life. Playing a computer game, or reading a book... why is the first considered as just a "virtual life" activity, but the latter an accepted "real life" activity? I don't get it.
Haven't logged in for several weeks no reason to do so.
I wish I had that much sparetime between working/sleeping, but alas, I don't.
Work 10 hours, sleep 8 hours, leaves 6 hours for other things, I play on average 1 hour a day, except fridays which is raid nights.
It took over my life far more than I should of let it, I lost tons of friends who I used to hang out with and regret it deeply,
I have actually unsubbed for the last couple of weeks and trying to build my circle of friends again.. I still read mmo champ but mostly because im doing other things on the pc.
Where is the option that says "Been there, but not anymore!".
Warlocks get buffed ONE TIME and suddenly developers are getting fired over it...
I used to, a few years ago. I still do have some crazy days sometimes, but they're fairly rare.
that survey is depressing
That's what you think......

This list could be extended basically indefinitely....
Since addiction is a mental state... What you falsely interpret are physical withdrawal symptoms some drugs causing.

at the launch of vanilla there were some days where i spend more time playing wow than anything else, but it wasnt really to the point where i neglected friends and family more than i did before wow came out... i already played more pc games than real-lifeing before wow came out, so thats that :P
starcraft, diablo2, warcraft 3, halo, metroid, zelda, super mario, command & conquer, dune, gta, sims, half life, heroes of might and magic, worms armageddon and so on and so forth!

Back in Wotlk it was twice the time I'm playing now - I remember getting most of the classes from 1 to 80 and going ICC at least 4 times/week aswell. WoW was partly responsible for the fact that two relationships broke apart. I've learned from that.
