Results of my 30 days of World of Warcraft

This is a graph of my hours played per day over 30 days. i played for a total of 248 hours and at the height of my addiction i played for 24 hours straight. i came home from SAT prep at 10pm thursday and didnt stop until 10pm friday. it was brutal but i learned something. i didnt run out of things to do the entire time. i always had something i had to do next, whether it be farming gold, leveling up my tadeskills, or dungeons. i was always busy.

if you divide my hours over 30 days i average 8 1/2  hours per day or 30 days.

if you divide my hours over 4 weeks i average 62 hours a week. 12hours more than a full time job.

hell if WoW was my job i would have made 1,798$ in just 30 days at minimum wage.

30 days of World of Warcraft

During the summer of my junior year in highschool, i decided to play World of Warcraft for 30 days and document my Journey.

background information on myself

i am 18 years old, i love MMORPG (Massively Multiplayer Online Games) genre games.

Mmorpg - Massively multiplayer online role-playing game (MMORPG) is a genre of computer role-playing games in which a very large number of players interact with one another within a virtual game world <en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mmorpg>

Before I came to World of Warcraft I played Everquest Online Adventures for the PlayStation 2 from when I was 12 til when I was 15 (7th grade until the very end of my freshmen year)

What many people don't know and don't understand is that these games tend to be addictive. What broke my  addiction was I finally got banned for duplicating items. from sophomore year until my senior year i have been free of these games and my grades had never been higher.

why did i come back? i wanted to see what makes these games so damn addictive and i wanted to see how well i can cope with quitting.
