How long

[Gustafson]

Yay! Finally another addict. I'm in the same situation as you. I can take weeks off at a time but when it comes to quitting I never can do it. I tried one time and even went so far as to almost delete my account. If you havent tried it, they make you hold like 5 buttons down at once just to delete it and give you 30 seconds to cancel. I let it get down to 15 seconds and had to stop it. I looked how many friends in game I had and how much time Ive put into my little guy. On a side note, it is scary how much time is logged just when you go afk or in bazaar. Anyways, I'm glad I'm not alone.

thats about roughly 144 a year. its a bit outta your pocket if you're a student currently trying to work your way through college. I mean you have to consider such realities. People have certain bills to pay. STuff comes up. That 12 bucks is really useful when something comes up. Heck that 12 bucks for a college student is like three week's of getting to eat.
In the end it really isn't that much but then again it is. I know people who set aside the 144 a year just for the game and I mean it works out great. Just to tell you form my experience the game isn't all that great and I didn't get that addicted to it.

This is addressed to Miriel-I never implied the the game wasn't addictive period. I just said it wasn't addictive to me..

I'm sorry but this is very funny to me. I work full time and attend night school full time. I pay rent, utlities, insurance, tuition, and my car payment. If 12 bucks a month makes that big of a difference then you really need to maybe get a second job or adjust your budget. If you break that down it cost .40 cents a day, thats 5 pop cans if you live in a state with a depost. Your comment about 12 bucks being enough to let a student eat for three weeks is, to be blunt, dumb. That would put you well below the poverty level. Going by that statement your telling me that all you have for food is roughly .57 cents a day (thats for 21 days worth of food found by 12(cost per month)/21(days)).This is not even a valid point of why people dont play. Anyways, I'll stop, but thanks for the laughs.
