Starcraft is like caulk which fills the voids in your free time. If you treat it as such you will have no problems. You can manage everything in life if Starcraft is your least priority.

Quitting StarCraft?!!? impossible. I even tried playing other RTS games for a while. Sure they looked nice but none of them had the same intense feel. That feel that you really HAVE to do your best.

Then the dreams started. I was Z against a T opponent. He kept on sending waves and waves of marines while I tried to keep up by making sunkens, buying time while lurker tech finishes. The waves kept coming and coming. My sunkens wouldn't morph fast enough. Eventually I succumbed. The lurker tech you ask? It never came...IT NEVER CAME!!!!!

you don't have to spend all your freetime playing, you can just plasy couple games now and then.
I might have couple weeks without any game, then play few when I have nothing better to do when I'm bored.

I haven't played SC for several months now, thanks to Diablo II. At the moment I don't even play anything, just watch movies and study. School IS important, you know.

I use to be hardcore addicted to Starcraft, choosing to hang out with friends online than with friends in real life. Big mistake. Quitting for me was kind of a fluke though. My computer had broke down so I couldn't use anything, msn, myspace, Starcraft?!?!!!!!! and I was forced to use other people's computers and had to use my downstairs computer to play single player starcraft, just for the sake of playing Starcraft. I then started losing interest in playing the more I played single player, so much that when I got my computer fixed, the first thing I did wasn't play Starcraft. From then on I would just play a few games here and there, go a week without playing then one day get bored and play some games on Starcraft again.

It eventually got to the point where I didn't even feel like logging in anymore so, now I just have Starcraft there :D! I still play from time to time though ;O

The only way you will be able to quit is if you WANT to quit. Until you want to, you will be playing starcraft for the rest of your life.

It's not hard to reacquire it.

Seriously, good luck with the rest of your life. There's a time to move on for everybody.

Well the point is to remove easy access it's not hard to go out and buy another broodwar cd but you do now have to go out and spend money. Which is enough for some people.

It's even easier to reacquire it now >_>. A while ago blizz opened up their online store. So, lets say you break your cd. Do you still have the cdkey? Well all you need to do is make an account on the store(free) and put in the cd key to get starcraft + starcraft:broodwar again from a redownloadable source (a la Steam provided by Valve).
