Lets face it, when you bought Diablo you know you were addicted from the start. Hell I watched my freind play it for 20 minutes 1 year before I bought it and I was addicted:p

What has the addiciton cost you? Its cost me my one shot for a good social life (which wasn't all that great anyway:p) and a freind or 2, along with other minor things.

However it did a few good things also: It led me here to BF for starters, and really broguht me deep into the Computer Gaming world.

How about you all?

Well..a certain point in my life I was online so much that I showered once a week, never brushed my teeth, and had no social life or girlfriend. Once I finally got a girlfriend I changed..since then even after losing her I've changed dramatically. Diablo caused me to have such a horrible life. I'm glad I was able to fix it. I still play every now and then, but not nearly as much as I did. I also shower and brush my teeth daily now. :p

School suffered as did some social things. It was to the point where i'd play 6 hours a day go to sleep and wake up at 4:30 everyday to play for 2 hours b4 school.

I have had hygene problems though, always kept that in order. LOL

It never got very bad for me. I usually would play a couple hours a day, but my grades never went down or anything. Now my comp is messed up so I can't play it at all. ><

I know a friend who went crazy and broke his computer because he accidently deleted his uber barbarian. :( But yea, some may have worse cases then others.
But it still sucks for everyone. :-/

well...i first became addicted a couple years ago around winter time. I didnt really get addicted to the point where it f***ed up my social life or school life or any of that crap...i just enjoyed it ...played for like 2-5 hours each night. Its all about moderation :) i honestly dont c how someone can get terribly addicted to d2...its a fun game but its not exactly like crack or anythin. Besides i beat my "addiction" out of bordom...i got bored with mfin at the time so i just turned it off and didnt play for like weeks ...came back played for a bit ...stoppd playin for a while and so on.....

If anyone spends money on d2, it's because they suck at the game and are newbies. Only 1337 players don't buy shit ;)

On another note, I just did inept's Hell HF, and found a gul then traded it for a Light GC (*for him*) and a SoJ for my necro. WOO!

Hmm. Some people are good tht ebay. Their skill + the bought items. But not many, most don't know how to use the class they made, and expect to click and watch evwerything die. :p
