World of Warcraft - buy one addict, get another free

Because I think I am. My boyfriend (henceforth referred to as N) and I recently set up 10-day free trials for World of Warcraft. Last weekend found us in the shops buying a copy each of the game, because our 10-day trials had expired and we missed playing it. After a moderate amount of playing during the week, we've nearly perfected questing as a team, although voice chat is the next hurdle. However, this weekend we've found ourselves on a slope more slippery than a well-greased jelly...

The last two nights have seen us up until 3am and 1am respectively, with sleep-hangovers a prominent part of the following days. We're unable to quit without completing all quick or easy quests, selling all unusable/useless loot, training up all skills as far as possible, and stopping at a 'resting place' before logging out. I'm not worried (yet) but I do wonder if it's healthy, or if this is a normal phase for people new to the game.

They don't call it WarCrack for nothing! (Don't you just always wonder who 'they' are when someone says that?) I hope the fact that both of us need to get some work done will stop it getting silly...but in the meantime I'm off to do a few quests before bed.
