So if you have nothing else going on, and it doesn't negatively effect anything else then I don't see the problem. Just my view, shrug.

Just exercise a few days a week...it's no big deal IMO.

I recently readdicted to LoL
I think in our modern age technology has evolved to become more addictive. The things that don't give us pleasure aren't used as much. Work was never meant to be fun, but doing it makes us happier in the long run.

Yeah seriously. If you have nothing else to do and it doesn't negatively impact your life that's not a big deal. If you want to cut on the number of hours you spend on computer that's alright. Just get yourself an interesting book, exercise, join some clubs whatever. And most importantly, don't stay in the room with your comp all day as it will be always tempting to switch it on..

Bottom line, find yourself sth constructive to do not involving computer and focus on that.

My criteria in these situations is that if the game is interfering and encroaching on other things in your life, or if playing the game makes you feel guilty or depressed; then that is when it is a problem. I recently started playing WoW again too, and even agreed to raid with my old guild, but only for 2 nights a week and not later than 11. So far it doesn't seem to be enough to mess up schoolwork or get burnt out.

In your situation I would say you should try to find a club activity or something you can do to start meeting a new group of potential friends : )

You are not addicted. You just don't have anything to do. Doing something a lot does not mean you are addicted. People on the internet need to stop calling anything and everything an addiction.

There's a distinct difference between addiction and habit. You need to see a psych before you can make that conclusion.

Find something else you enjoy doing, experiment with hobbies and such and when you find something you enjoy doing look for a local group you can join with people who share the interest. It takes time, and it takes work. Just like everything else that is worth having in life.

Just kill deathwing and quit,maybe nef cuz he's really fun

once you've finished him that should sap all the fun from the game(not that it has a whole lot anymore)

are you playing daily 18+ hours straight until the next day 8 am? if not, then your addiction is not nearly as bad as you think

You need to find other things to do that you enjoy.

Joining clubs does help i think it gives you a new group of people to meet and a hobby to go with it
