Yeah, believe it or not it is still going.

I realised I wasting my life again.

I remember sitting there at 3 in the morning grinding away killing the same mobs over and over again with bloodshot eyes, feeling dizzy and a cold sweat on my forehead thinking to myself "What the hell am I doing?" I don't know what drives me to keep going even after I am hating everything.

I think WOW turned up and I kept on that for years

I tried WoW a couple of times but just couldn't get into it. I think if I had played it without first getting so into AO I might have really liked it. I think it was more about the fact that I had invested so much time and energy into figuring out how everything worked in AO. When I opened WoW, I realized that I had to learn everything all over again and just couldn't do it.
