I'm not a widow to Halo but DH newest addition is World of Warcraft. The game is dangerous and can really take over your life! Thank goodness after a wake up call he's cut back but it's sad. For awhile the only time I could talk to him was logging on on the computer next to him on my WoW game and typing Anyone else?
Answer:
I have never played it can you believe it???
I don't dh has either.
Just a shameless plug ROFL, one of my best online friends on my August 2001 dd board is married to one of the programmers that developed WoW. They thank you for loving it so much!

I'm actually starting to like it again, but I couldn't play for a long time because it almost destroyed my marriage and DH almost lost his job cause of his obsession. I think there needs to be like a timer or something that kicks you off after awhile lol. You know they have camps in China now to rehabilitate addicts of the game?? One man even killed himself so he could be in a world like the game. It's a terrifically fun game in moderation, scary when you see addicts.
Answer:
I used to play, started a break in January just before the expansion came out. Was in an end game guild, raided 4 nights a week after daughter was in bed. I just started to get bored. Now I'm bored and want to go back but not raiding seriously only there isn't much else and end game to do. Miss the people mostly - though the expansion ended up causing my guild to split.
Answer:
omg don't get me started on WOW!!!! I was this close to ending my marriage over it! My dh is addicted and I hate that game! He told me months ago he would stop and sell his character on ebay. Did he? Of course not! BUT as of last week he quit his guild and joined another less demanding one so he TOLD me he'd only play 2 nights a week. Well those 2 nights he hasn't been to bed until around 1-2 am AND he's still getting on other days to "check his mail and chat" If I wasn't on ms all the time I would have had to kick his butt! I keep waiting for him to get bored so he can get back to reality!
Answer:
Again I am hoplessly addicted to WoW. Its a great time for my husband and I to spend time together. We ran an end game guild before expansion, but it fell apart because he had to give up raiding when school and work got to be too much. Now he really only gets to play 5-6 hours a week and I was only raiding to spend time with him. We tried to give the guild to new leaders (they had been in the guild from the day we started it), but they ran it into the ground. So where are your characters, and horde or alliance?
Horde/ Earthen Ring (previously Firetree)
Answer:
My husband and I play together, and it can be addictive, but I think you have to have common sense and know where your priorities are. It can be difficult otherwise. We are in a raiding guild, but we dont' raid anymore, just got tired of it and frankly bored with the game. We only raided one day a week anyway, I wouldn't be able to stand more than that hehe. I really only play an hour or so a day if I even log on, I just have too much to do around the house and with my kids to spend all my time on the computer.
Answer:
My husband & I used to play together but he works 5pm - 2am so he was never able to raid. We changed servers & both played Rogues which was great - except the week after we hit 60 they changed all all the instances except UBRS to be a 5 man cap. So once he got to 60 he was left with basically nothing to do in the time he could play because he wanted to play with me.
I tried to level a Priest to pair up with his Rogue but I found healing to be completely irritating in WoW (I played a healer in EQ so I was used to it, I just didn't like that it took no thought to heal in WoW - To short cast times, hardly any need for mana conservation, no timing needed).
Then 4 nights a week in Naxx started to cause me to burn out and being stuck on 4 horseman really helped that along quickly so I decided to take a break just before BC came out... and now my husband seems to not want me to go back! I know I couldn't do the hardcore raiding thing again but at the same time I don't think I could go back and be causal without getting bored.
