    hmm...Died from WoW, that's possible.
    I played that game too, but i stopped because of some reason!
    -No Time for School (Exams)
    -Wasting Money (12 Euro for 1 month = 1 Card)
    -Very crazy if u reached lvl 60 u need go to raid and it raids take 2 hours or more.
    -Playing Non-stop after school, on holiday more crazy
    I reached lvl 60 on 1 month, my friends said that I was crazy lol.

    Well now the burning crusade released and I still don't interest on that game anymore. I was very crazy on playing when I was 13 years old always spent 20/24 on PC, Eating->Play->Eating->Sleep >_<
    After that I started to learn Photoshop, that was something interesting.
    I could make so many things, when I finished something I was always happy.
    Now I will go on to 3D Studio Max, hope it's something good for the future...
    I still play Online Game but not that much, because I had much time when I was young, but now school is more difficult. Actually I'm 16 old. 3 years left for exams for university ^^. I'm not like these freaky people who lock their room with key and play WoW and don't eat. I can take care of myself^^. We always make LAN party for some fun HeHe. In fact, I know why these people play so much Online Games.
    If u tried once u will know how it is....
