Yes and quite badly. This was while ago on Star Wars Galaxies, before they dumbed it down. This was my first ever MMORPG and at the time I was unemployed. Not a good combo. I was supposed to search for jobs during the days, but instead I slept till noon and started playing SWG. When my girlfriend came home from work I pretty much ignored her. After going to bed I would always sneak back to my PC and continue gaming til 4-5. This lasted for 6 months or so. I remember one time when it was really bad. We were hosting a party one evening. My brother who came early had to do cleaning and while my gf was cooking. Strangely she didn't leave me because of this. Although we did split few years later. Addiction resolved by us moving and me getting a job. That was a time I don't look fondly back. I know better now that it won't ever happen again. For one, I don't plan to play a MMO ever again. Not because I am afraid getting addicted again. I've played some other MMO's after this already (ATITD, WoW and EVE) and had no such problems. Being a family man doesn't leave much time for MMO's anymore.
