Aye, I believe there's a rehabilitation center in Hamsterdam of all places. Wonder why they placed it there of all places.

ROFL! You think they have experience with such problems by any chance? :laugh:
It's funny, because as I wrote my previous post I was thinking that I could certainly imagine more interesting things to be addicted to

The worst part, he tried to justify it as a moderate expenditure compared to other "hobbies."

It is rare that I utter these words being a (MMO)gamer myself - but somebody seriously needs to get a life
(In fact he can have mine, so I can play 1 account in Warhammer)

Who said it was uncontrolled?
Nah, I don't play it at all.

Can a game really be that addictive? Does he even remember why he started playing the game?

I don't know whether it's more shocking the amount of WoW accounts he has or how many computers he has to let himself play so many concurrently. The man must spend a fortune in hardware.
I'm a little conflicted when reading comments on some sites about this -- some people are actually calling him awesome, which totally doesn't correlate with what I'm thinking as I read this.
I mean, he could at least play WAR. :laugh:
Much more interesting story than the woman who got 100,000 dollars in a grant to study World of Warcraft.

Besides the hardware costs, monthly subsribtion fees and price of upgrading every account to WotLK, think about the electrivity bill the guy gets!
THough he probably saves from heating costs, as such a ammount of computers and screen does really produce good ammount of heat :laugh:

Collecting something expensive would cost over 9000. Cars, mistresses, etc...

Oh, and as patching my own WoW at the moment, I can't but laugh at the work he has to do to patch all his 36 clients
364,67 megs per patch, times 36 does... 13Gb 128,12Mb...
