Chances are if a game is "hurting" your personal life... you really don't have much to speak of, and if that's not the case you have an addictive personality of some sort. I'm assuming AC is full of people who are either incompetent or have the worst time management skills in the world.
Using myself as an example.. I have a full time job, I go to university part time, have a social life which includes outdoor hobbies and friend and I still have time for many games including AC.
I think breaks are healthy, but making a drawn out I'm leaving AC post for an arbitrary reason seems like an excuse to showboat or an excuse to boost the ego. I have many friends who left but didn't bother with the publicity... they simply stopped playing AC and we shoot an emails at each other now and then.
For once I agree with Woolly. I know I have to monitor myself with AC. I am addicted. I used to play 7-8 hrs a day, sometimes more. Addiction takes many forms.
But seriously, at least some people realize it. A lot of people live in denial that addiction is hurting their lives. ;-)
On another note, as i am required by KH law, lest I be marooned on a deserted isle with naught but a pistol with a single shot, .....I agree with MorganKell.
