Do you play World of Warcraft instead of exercising?

Do any of you folks play World of Warcraft? I do and sometimes I forget to exercise bc I feel like I've been running around because of my character running/swimming/climbing/battling. Does that ever happen to you?

    Losing track of time playing WoW is so easy to do. I had to quit cold turkey because I found myself logging in for "just an hour" and logging off six hours later, missing out on dinner with the family, seeing my kids off to bed, getting myself to sleep on time, etc.

    Can't say I've ever felt like I've exercised just because my avatar did, though.

    lol I feel that. Do you still play WOW? I ask bc I would like to make friends on there who share similar real life goals.

    I've thought from time to time about rejoining WoW now that my kids are older, especially since my parents, brother and sister all play. In fact, they don't bother calling each other, they just partner up during raids and discuss life via chat. But no, after I quit cold turkey six years ago, I haven't touched it since.

    I haven't played WoW in forever. I don't even think I could recall my account. But, I do play ESO.

    I mean who doesn't want a bag of snacks and to crush with their Worgen Death Knight. Nail on the head with this post for sure! Made my day.
