    1)Age?

    23

    2)Why would you choose to play the number of hours you picked?

    Because I need to relax, get away from real life traffic, all the hurdles. Sometimes, because I am bored. Moreover, I play often because I have ingame friends that make the experience worthwile. Often there is nothing better to do:)

    3)Have you sacrifice work or school to play the game?
    -If no, would you?

    Yep, I did, but only because I chose to, because I knew that the 'sacrifice' would not do anything bad to me; by playing the game instead of doing some work never got me into troubleb:victory

    4)Have your health been affected?

    HAS your health been affected?! Not that I observed negative reactions, but I know, I go to sleep later, and sometimes forget to eat while playingb:chuckleGuess it must affect me somehow...

    5)Have you try to quit playing?

    Nope, I feel no need to.

    6)How much money do you invest on cash shops?

    Personally, none to this day, but that might change and I use in game coinz for those purposes

    Hehehhe, damn, I got to know something about myself:)))

    Good luck fellow gamersb:bye

    EDIT: Forgot to write how many hours I spend... it depends on the amount of things I have to do, on my free time, onb the weather, my mood, etc. Lets say 4 hours per day, but there are days I do not play at all or days when I spend like 12 hours playing LOL

    (hard to believe you guys don't sacrifise rl... really? think of what could you do instead of playing...)
