WoW was really tough for me to break away from - it was pretty much a 'second life'. Was there anything particular that helped you quit when you decided to?

- skilled 8y agoYes, WoW is a tough one to leave behind. Hindsight, the game is a psychological rollercoaster, with high downs and even higher ups. I think for the most part -- other than the game turning into crap -- it was the feeling of degradation, and I think this comes with age. And it helped that during my breaks from the game I actually got to live life, and have meaningful experiences that further fueled my decision.* *: I don't like the word decision here as it implies forms of hatred/anger, which I don't believe is the case in my situation. Since it happened naturally, I don't have feelings of guilt or regret.
- camerondare 8y agoThat worked for my brother too. Just kind of grew out of it when he went to university and got a girlfriend. Glad you're doing well. :)
- pjc50 8y agoI don't think decision implies hostility. It's possible and maybe even healthier to take a Marie Kondo / Ariana Grande approach to things like this. Thank Warcraft for the good times, but now you're moving on.

- smrq 8y agoSame thing happened to me in Guild Wars. I loved that game to death, but I'm honestly grateful.
