I played wow for a good 4 years of my life. It's an amazing experience, and if I could not pay the monthly fees, since I don't have the time to play it, I would casual it. I used to play video games all day everyday, then when I got into cubing, and got a gf, I seldom played them. My gf is gone now, and I still don't even find the time to play them unless I'm with my brother.
Will you EVER quit/ take a break at playing online games?

Excuse my ignorance, but how is "addicting" used wrong, in the context, "*Insert object/game here* can be very addicting."?

For the most part, I can nolife games without academic consequences. I've managed to find friends (real life, not online) that enjoy them as well, so playing with them is always fun. As long as my grades aren't suffering and I'm having fun, I won't stop. My big game a few years ago was RuneScape, picked up a few level 99s along the way but then stopped playing just because it got boring. Currently playing xbox because I don't have a good enough computer for PC gaming (once I go off to college I'll have a good one; at that point I'll be switching over).

I got Grand Theft Auto for Christmas, and I have not gone a day without putting a couple of hours in.

Of course. We won't live forever. Can't game when we are dead.
I honestly can not see myself video gaming once I hit 40 years old or even at 70. Of course we will all quit eventually.

Absolutely I take breaks. I play a game, get addicted and play the crap outta it. Then once I buy something for the game, my interest drops and I find a new game. Get addicted. Buy something related and then lose interest. Rinse and repeat.
Now, I do often get periods of time where I don't play anything at all. But I usually have some game that I look forward to playing everyday.
Downtime really is important. And thats my downtime. I also cube, so I don't always play.
But I do think balance is super important. And I found very good balance in getting a farmjob before I turned 16, really keeps me fit and outside a lot. very good way to balance.

I've found that, just like with cubing, if I take a good week (more or less) long break from gaming, I come back fresh and end up actually improving.
Of course, I only play FPS games, such as COD4 Promod or Quake (yes, I still play Quake).

How is cubing any better than gaming?
I'm redownloading Guild Wars. Eagerly awaiting GW2
I used to be hardcore into runescape, nearly the same thing as emolover
Got into cubing and learned how to balance school and cubing (For the most part, I usually procrastinate lots with no cubing involved so...)
I did learn memory methods that allowed me to be the only one to get a A on my Caribbean studies Mid-term.

Haha, Conquer Online. That's still around? I played for about a year before life got in the way. I had two characters at 113 and 80 and at one point was on the server's wealthiest players list. That was 6-7 years ago; the game's probably unrecognizable to me if I tried to log on now.
