You haven't showered in days from playing There and your significant other doesn't even notice because they are playing There too much too.
LOL Share your stories here!

You get logged out of There during the off hours and you spend the next few hours/days(?) of your life chatting/idling in our IRC Chat and typing !addiction in MBoffin's script to find out exactly how many days/hours/minutes/seconds are left until the There login opens up again.
//Edit: River, our IRC chat can be found as a link on our home page. Or join the irc server: irc.enterthegame.com Channel: #there through your normal irc client.

You haven't seen sunlight in the last 72 hours.
You've worn your clothes more than once without washing them.
Your Buddy list, My Things, My Places and Change Me Folders/Areas are all neatly organized, but everything around your computer is a mess.
You log out at 7am Tuesday morning and get this awful empty feeling, like
you just pulled the plug on a loved one.:0

lol A sure sign that you're beyond help is when you start dreaming about There... Last night I had a dream that I was somewhere in Tiki trying to build a ramp. The really sad part? I've never actually built or even watched anyone else build a ramp, so I have no idea how it's actually supposed to look and don't know why it was about that of all things. lol Polly Gone Mad

You know you're addicted when....
You call your dog and she doesn't come, then you realize you only have a dog in There - not in real life.
You're not afraid of heights anymore because you're sure you'll just bounce harmlessly.
$20 for a T-Shirt at the Gap sounds like a bargain to you now.
You actually say the word "wave" when greeting a friend in RL.

For now only possible on AW, VU, and Plastic Planet, but should be possible on There soon:
You get bored from 'walking' and start trying to learn how to instantly teleport yourself anywhere in your field of vision. (I actually sat down and tried to do that on AW for afew hours, and I gotta say I got pretty good at it! I'd just 'appeared' infront of people and things instead of approaching. hee.)

You get more excited at receiving $10,000 Therebucks from answering a survey than receiving your normal paycheque.
It's the most exciting $5.50 I've ever received. Now that is just sad!

Heya everyone!
Here's a little list I gathered from #there. We were trying to fill up our need for There, before PB2 comes out "online".
If you can identify yourself in that list, read the great quot-ologist who once said...
The sage aphorism holds true: "Before you attempt to have a virtual life, make sure you have a real one first." -Ryft
(Edited from IRC - irc.enterthegame.com, #there)
| Quote | You know you're addicted when...your desktop pic is now the backdoor screen with your mouse hovering over "log in" waiting for you to push it over and over...
You know you're addicted when...you ask your mom if you can borrow her buggy...
You know you're addicted when...you loan your kid your buggy.
You know you're addicted when...you hear the message alert noises in your head... but There isn't connected. o_o
You know you're addicted when..."I was in Mcdonalds today and saw the maximum occupancy sign on the wall, and thought of the server load in There, hoping my burger wouldn't be returned to inventory" that happens to you.
You know you're addicted when...you wonder why chatting with your friends on MSN doesn't make you an Adept Socializer.
You know you're addicted when...you think your car could go faster if you'd hook up a mouse and hit the right mouse button.
You know you're addicted when...you go to the mall and wonder why everything is so inexpensive...
You know you're addicted when...you're stressed over a problem in RL, and you think of Helper_Fiona and Helper_Loki.
You know you're addicted when...you think you can "retrieve" something you've just lost.
You know you're addicted when...you try to sell some t-shirts with your name written on it on Ebay. |

When you are standing infront of a rusty shot up soda vending machine in Tabu trying to figure out whether you should buy the Atomic Sour, Bubble Pop, or Rainbow Fizz and how they can possibly cost $199 each!
On the plus side at least the price of a bumblebee hoverpack is back down to 4999 from 6599. ...just call me Number 2

OH MY GOD you guys had me rolling . I am apparently in heavy addiction and in need of an intervention. Hopefully I will keep dodging them when they gather in groups around me hahaha . How about you know your addicted when your significant other tells you they have the night off and you are disapointed because it means you have to spend the time with them instead of in THERE.
So I have to say it my name is Trisha and I am a THERE addict.

You know you're addicted to There when you are asked to take a survey at work and you wonder how many ThereBucks will be credited to your account.
You know you're addicted to There when you walk down the street and you wonder why you can't see anyone else's chat bubbles.
You know you're addicted to There when you realize that thinking '''smile or '''hearts or '''yay doesn't actually make you do anything in RL.
You know you're addicted to There when, while drinking at a bar, you catch yourself looking above the patrons' heads to catch a glimpse of what they may be drinking

... when you make up songs about being addicted to there.
(With apologies to Mr. Palmer)
The server's up, and you're logged on.
Meanwhile, real life is gone.
Your clothes rock, your board's l33t,
And all those drinks are really neat.
You don't sleep, or wash your hair,
You don't care - you're in There.
Your cards are maxed, accounts emptied,
But life In There is all you need.
You like to think that you've got all the cool stuff,
Oh yeah.
It's closer to the truth to say you can't get enough.
You know you're gonna have to face it,
You're addicted to There

when someone comments on having to drive a long distance and you comment that you should just teleport there and then summon them...
When you see someone with a nice shirt and you ask them if they made it themselves...
When someone starts to go in their house and you ask them to email you a invite...
When you loan someone money... in a little yellow box with red ribbon and bow...
When you see someone exploring a empty room in the Sphinx and say "that's nothing. I've been to the CHICKEN ROOM"...
...You MAY just be addicted to "There" "Life is only what we choose to make it, let's just take it, let us be free...

OK...
I'll add mine...
Hubby wonders why you're not sitting at your computer and you have to explain that it's Monday meaning that There is not in operation
or there's the fact that I still have a TSO account but barely use it; so hubby suggests that I build a house in Alphaville and call it Meet Me in There or any other play on words
oh, and I have a final on April 28...studying...oh, I need to do that
I know that I won't be on as much this week, but I'll still be in There!
My name is Tansy and my creator is a There addict
Needed: a There-Anonymous club
Twelve steps anyone?

... you begin wondering how you'd look with the same haircut as your avatar.
... you have a "I'd rather be Hoverboarding" bumpersticker on your car.
... you search through all your drawers, all the dirty laundry, under the bed, and behind the couch before you realize that the shirt you're looking for is your avatar's, not yours.
... you put in a request at work for a videocard upgrade so you can pop into There on your lunchbreak.

Yesterday, at home with laryngitis; typing is very good. There went down and I immediately headed over to thereuniverse to fill up on screenshots et. Oh, and to add my avie picture. I'm stuck on There
I found myself doing 'tada when I'd gotten my hair done this afternoon.
I don't want to think what this means to me!
Be afraid, be very afraid.

...I log on at my moms house which is 30 miles in the country...I am so addicted that I did not pack a suitcase this time, I hitched a ride (with no way back home) just so I can get 4 days in the program. But, atleast I can hoverboard in my undees and look for deodorant while I make sure my buggies are on my "my things menu". There Police Department Sheriffs

You're curious if the network admin at work is going to bust you because you only visit sites that have *there* in the URL.
or
You're a network admin playing in There all day rather than running those pesky port scan reports.

....you take a sip of [insert "real life" beverage here] and you make a distorted face or jingle a sound of notification from drinking it.

...you dream in There...not ABOUT There, but IN There. just ask Calvin_J4 about that one.
...you get stuck in traffic and don't understand why you can't just teleport home and retrieve your "buggy" later.
...you logon to There and 15 minutes later turns out to be in reality 3 hours later
...you fight with your significant other over There so much that a new computer is needed because it's cheaper than a divorce 
...you constantly spend usd on T$ because you have to have the latest and greatest designs from auctions
...you don't understand why you can't make someone in rl a stickfigure when they start getting on your nerves
...you adjust your sleep pattern for those Avatar buddies of yours who live in other countries. just ask Chanel about that one
...you can't sleep at night anticipating logging in to There the next day 
...you wake your signigicant other up earlier than normal to get me..er, them to show you a place they have been to and you haven't (and visa versa)
I could continue, but I think you guys get it that Calvin_J4 and I are addicted to There...and you know what, we don't care

You find yourself logging into the IRC channel, #There, when There is down because you just miss everyone so much!
You have a 3 month old kitten who insists on sitting in front of the monitor to watch everyone on There and you're so tempted to name her "There".
You go into TSO for about 30 minutes and find that you just must logout because you still want to do There stuff in TSO.
You're on a vacation day while There is down and you land up checking on all the fan sites! Well, I was going to play There, honest!
Addicted, am I

I haven't contributed anything to this thread but as I realized that I have something to add.
- When you take continuous screenshots of your avatar falling or walking or driving and bring it up in the image viewer and just click the forward button so it looks like you are actually moving.

you know you are addicted when....you have not logged on to there since beta 2 and you can't untill you buy that one special computer to handle b3, so you dream of the day you stroll the monkey garden or ride in the b3 hover boat, and wonder if your beta one buddies still "do there"
I also wonder am I "There Old School" like spliff. I wonder if Jopy is still GOD. I wonder if people are still hanging around from sunday to wednesday?
Boy, I am really addicted because I alphabatized the topics in the forum to find this thread because its one of the oldest. And much to my amazement, it was still here.
