People who complain about WoW being a timesink really need to stop being such a hypocrit, because lets be honest while your dream is to be a SC progamer it probably wont happen and all that time playing SC is a timesink.

Either way, the expansion is okay, I play about an hour a day unless I've got alot of stuff to do.

Seriously shoot yourself since you won't be needing your life anymore

Take it from an ex-wowplayer...

Edit: to the above, I just watch the best SC vods. It's like watching football for me

i am still playing the wow trial, hard to decide whether to play wow or not... each year you pay $180, in the end you get nothing, can't even play it without paying subscription and it is too slow by my standard..

Playing SC and being involved in the community isn't really a timesink. It isn't like you get nothing out of it, I've met people I never would have if I wasn't involved in TL and SC.

And you do not think that wow is anything like that?

Wow is a giant chatroom with a theme that everyone there can relate too. Everyone can meet friends there, which I think is one of the biggest draws of the game.

WTF WOW GOODBYE LIFE LOL!!!

Obviously if you play wow you have no choice but to play it 12 hours a day because people don't have any self control. Seriously only 3% or less of the people who play wow probably play that much.

save your life and start learning a new language or something. This game will steal your soul as well as at least two years of your life

funny if you change all the "wow" in posts for "Starcraft", it still makes sense.

There's a kid in my dorm who plays Starcraft. I've seen him out of his chair like 3 times in the time since school started. I don't think I've seen him interact with a real live human yet...


seriously calm down with the "no-life" thing. anyone with half a brain and decent selfcontrol can maintain himself to just a few hours of play per week.

and why are people keep saying you will "lose" 2 years of your life? Isn't it the same with every thing you start and then stop one time or another? when you'll quit starcaft, will you consider to have "lose" 10 years of your life?

there is a bunch of unnecessary things in life, do you think the 1000 posts you have on TL will stay in your memory forever as something you HAD to do? certainly not, but who cares, you had fun for a while and you'll have fun with another game later and maybe you'll have fun with a sport or with your kids if you ever get some.

Only if his soul is weak!

If you feel like a miserable person then don't start playing wow since it will suck your life force out of you.(Or do it since it gives your life a meaning, whatever)
If you feel like you got plenty of stuff to do all the time then you don't need to start playing, but if you do you will feel that it takes a bit too much of your free time and thus you will either quit or give up a bit of other activities.
If you feel like an average person with some time to spare every day then yes, it is a quite good time waster as long as you don't replace other activities with wow playtime.
