All the people that I know that have started playing MMORPGS have slowly went from fairly fun people, to people so sick/boring/greasy (pick 2 of the three) that I am embarassed to go out in public with them.
I honestly do think that these games are very addictive. No one takes them seriously though because they are so new. There was an interesting article on MMORPG's in one of the business magazines this month... I am not sure which one unfortunately.
I do not intend to play a MMORPG, ever. I would rather have a REAL life, where i do REAL monotonous tasks. At least in the real life, if you play your +100 charisma card right you get laid every once and a while
