I've heard things here and there, before I started playing. You know like this game was/is worse than crack to a crack head. I was totally like yeah, ok what ever. until the first night I started playing, I was on for about 12 hours!! the second time was about the same (and every night since). It's a good thing (well maybe not) I am a stay at home mom, other wise I wouldn't get to play for so long! My husband is REALLY regreting getting me this lap top for christmas, it's even gone as far as me bringing it to the dinner table with me!!! It goes everywhere with me now (before I started playing I maybe only touched the lap top 3 times total!!!). The bad thing is that my oldest daughter wants to start playing now, should I let her? If I'm this addicted to the game do you think she might want to start missing school to play? (I would if I were her) So when the server goes down I start freaking out! I have to try to think of something to do, but nothing else interests me. So I have to mope around until it's back up.[/u]
