The price one guy paid to be the top Clash of Clans player in the world

Good read, and why I'm always retiring! lol.

Nice article.
There is always a price to pay, good that he rebounded and found his way back to reality....

Ipads in the shower? And I thought I was hooked on this game lol

Haha, that is really extreme! I must confess I got totally sucked into wow, not in the financial way but time wise.. when it was in its early days I was part of an elite raiding guild, I used to spend an incredible amount of time solidly on it.. looking back I was such a fool, but when your in that "place" it never crossed my mind.. some games can be so addictive and captivating.. needless to say its been 5 years since I even looked at wow

I am right there with you, lol. I am 4 years sober from WoW. However, I still to this day miss my Boomkin.....RIP Deathchicken....

Ya I averaged about 20-30 hours a week raiding during wotlk then temporarily went really hardcore during fire lands. Our guild got sponsored by curse once they saw how fast we were destroying fire lands. Went 4/7 heroic on week 2 7/7 regular and everything was running smooth then arm got crushed by boat anchor and I've not really been as coordinated since then so gave up my spot. Dk dps dime a dozen but man I would out some crazy numbers up.

The welps on sindragosa I got up to 300k dps one time and this is back during the 12-15k dps was good days haha

I was a little earlier, I raided hard core vanilla through Wotlk, then quit cold turkey a few weeks before they opened the icecrown citadel. It hurt my heart a little bit to play so long and never get the chance to lay some smack down on arthas, but alas, it was time.

I was also vanilla, was one of the 1st priests to get the faith set from the original nax, I used to average around 12+ hours a day.. raids were 5 days a week..! Quit once they undone all my hard work with bc but eventually came back and got right back into it, then again before long next expansion and its just such a reminder of how much time I just frittered away for nothing.. needless to say I lost countless jobs and relationships because of my "addiction".

Mammon, remember quell serrar? had that on my 1st toon, alliance server 1st
