So I'm giving a friend of mine a hard time about being addicted to the internet and a specific online game (which I wont mention)

While I was looking up stuff on net addiction... I found an interesting pie chart.

http://www.netaddiction.com/whatis.htm

Take a look at the last pie chart on the page

Clinical research classifies the most addictive online applications:

MUD's 28%


Where's my 12 step program?!

So instead of packs a day, will we talk about hours a day? "My name is Joe, and I am a Mud Addict. It all started so small and innocent. Now I am a 12 hour a day mudde..."

I used to be a mud addict. Now I'm just addicted to one game... and it consumes way too much damn time.

You guys think DL is full of drama? Pfft. What I play now is drama disguised as politics... ugh.

But at least I can still kill people!

50%. Now take into the fact that I'm on the computer while at working (8-9 hours), spend at least 3 more hours surfing or gaming at home (Upwards to 6). At least 12 hours a day using the internet. Granted I guess you can't really count the work hours, but if I didn't work.. I'd be surfing :P

That percentage seems a little low. So I guess I'm not "really" addicted. I'm just a heavy user.

40% but I think if it was a more mud-orientated questionaire id be a lot higher :P
