was researching TW on Google, and other sites about what they say on this MMO.

Im addicted to. I wanted to share this game addiction with you so i feel better in myself. btw, im not giving up i just added 600 PP to my account!!

but mine started on W12, i failed ofcorse and I remember getting WAY excited about making my first HC :icon_wink:

I made my first million on W28 (W28 guys will know of PWO, Drink and ~L~ i was in them)
then the problems came, id set my alarm for 3am, to send fakes/attacks at a tribe because i needed to hit the landing time.
The look of my misses face as she peeped around the door and peered over the laptop wondering if it was porn, no.. it was worse.. alot worse.

She didnt understand the game, how many of us have tried ( in vain ) to get our partners to understand the game, and deep down think they could help you with farming lol. *hand raised*

but she wasnt interested.. instead saw me on the laptop as my little girl was growing up, guess what i was doing ?

Yup, good guess. i wish it was porn now :icon_cry:
most of my tribe members came from the same town, infact the manager of a local internet cafe had got his students into the game so they came by to check on their villages. And i took a train down there to join them 1 day and spend a while on TW.
I went on Vacation and took my laptop with me.
I went skiing in Bulgaria, the laptop came with me.
I even went to Tenerife, and the laptop came with me.
so i quit W28 and took a break. and gained a life back. I was free -

Or was I? 6 weeks later i got the offer of an account through facebook from the tribe. They needed help and i accepted having not seemingly "broken free"

The first few weeks I manged to hide TW from her, I felt like i was cheating on her.. i felt guilty and i had to delete net history etc. Cheating on her felt rough.
When she found out she was ok with it, Id manged to persude her I was't addicted, mainly because id managed to persude MYSELF i could give in anytime..

I quit in 14days from then as she said it was either TW or her and my baby.
That was the last straw. I handed my password over and told someone to change it quick, before I had anychance of backing out.
-----
A year went by, and we broke up anyway.
So I started on TW again back in November and this time round, im single and this game actually HELPS me save money, i dont go out lol and i have the BEST coplayer ever.
my 2nd village was his, since then we've built it up (first million will be in a week) and lifes good.
Im addiced again, i cant give up. But i dont want to give up, the guys on Skype are the best bunch of guys (and gals) that ive played with for a long time so im say thankyou..

so heres my comment to TW addiction.

"if your addicted, addmiting it is the first step to defeating it, the real winners of this game are the ones that manage to get away"

ive not won yet....

Dave :icon_cool:

Somehow I've managed to make it manageable, and I do love the person to person interactions of the game, so it's worth it for me :). Provides a fun little way to immerse yourself in something else in the day, and I've found that taking breaks when I feel I'm spending too much time has made it easier for me to make it less of an addiction :).

Truer words have never been spoken

Though I must say, quitting was never a good option for me. Cutting it out completely always ended in relapse. Instead I just built up the habit of "if I go out tonight, I could get cleared. Oh well, I'll have extra res to rebuild in the morning"

Limited hauls saved my life :icon_redface:

nice story mate. I think some of us can relate to this as well. Ive been here since W5 and intend to stay here until the game dies out completely if that will ever happen? Lucky for me my girlfriend has got addicted to this game as well as i taught her how things work and she is more addicted to me at times lol. WE have a nice balance which works well.
