I find it would be very hard to determine the "ideal" candidate becuase everyone has their own story. Some are unique, some are not. Me, for example, I've been on EverQuest over 2 years and I also have two accounts. The difference is that I started EverQuest BECAUSE of my job. Most of the people I worked with also played EverQuest and it's all they ever talked about. I began playing EQ at a time in my life when my job was all I had. No social life, no nothing. Just Work and EQ. I slept very little and played up to 16 hours a day. Needless to say, I becamse very burned out, and I quit my job. I moved and got a new job and put myself in a position where I had a nice balance between EQ, social life, and work. I would have considered myself an addict. EQ was all I thought about. I couldn't wait to get home from work so I could play. But now, I've been able to refocus my attention on other things. Now I go to school full time, work part time, and play EQ when I have no other social plans. Even though I still play, it's no longer the first thing I think of when I'm bored and need something to do. I still love the game and I have no intentions of quitting. Especially now that after 2 years my main character is JUST NOW hitting level 50 and going to start working on his epic and AA points.

It's always interesting and entertaining for me to hear other people's stories. Although I wouldn't mind appearing on the VH-1 show, I wouldn't consider myself the "ideal" candidate since my addiction days are over and I've found a comfortable niche, but I think whoever does get on the show is gonna have a great time. I know I did when I went to San Francisco for the episode of Call For Help on Tech TV. Good luck to anyone who's interested, and congrats to whomever they choose - even if it's me. :) hehehe!
