Average time Americans spend playing MMOs: 21 hours/week
Average time Americans spend watching TV: 28 hours/week

Too much time? Probably not.

the thing is, these things are expensive. It adds up if you don't play a lot. Myself, I am going to see if there is a possibility of temporary account suspension so i can just get game time and am not wasting money if i play it. I still play on Deathwing as Jirdok.

But the number of people in the U.S. that play MMO's can't even compare to the number who watch TV.

The statistics are on a per-person basis, and the sample sizes for both are large enough to make each meaningful with a high probability. What it essentially means is that people who spend a lot of time playing MMOs just take that time from time they would otherwise spend watching TV.

i plan on buying this very soon (when i get the money) but i cant decide on two things, wether i should be a nightelf rogue or a human palidan and wether i should play pve or pvp.
also i guess i have another question what is a really good site to download the patches from.

I got this game about 2 weeks ago. I have a level 19 warrior night elf. Its such an addictive game! BUT I HATE dark shore! THESE QUESTS STINK! I was thinking about just skipping past them all but that would destroy my code of video game ethics :P

I've never done the Night Elf quests, I must do them one day.. I played a NE druid to level 9 before I quit.. couldn't find the moonkin stone thing-whatever. I have no video game ethics.

Does anyone play Horde? I have a troll.
