You guys are not alone...I played Asheron's Call for a few years and dragged my son along with me for like 2 yrs almost maybe...it got very tideous and boring and I have another interest which is web building etc graphics and web based stuff so finally found a good company and took the $120 bucks I would have spent on an online game and spend it for my own domain and web space so I can do all the things now with it that I always wanted too..and actually spend alot less time on the gaming...if we game now it is only free not subscription based...I just finished Doom3 with my new system and it was awesome..I play Americas Army which I find pretty cool to kill some time and hang with the guys for a while but I can lay it down and move on to other things ....my son plays Runescape which I think is toataly lame but I see how it is trying to draw him into the same trap...but if he doesnt make honor roll no computer....his grades this period slipped to 3 A's and 2 C's...wifie cut him off of the computer...

during the weekdays to re-focus on school.
I watched the trailers for the WOW game and almost got drawn into but from my past experiences with it, it wastes way too much time and we are all allocated only so much of that anyways...
