I may have a few....
1: staying up till 5,o clock in the morning to get to a new world or farming a boss for a piece of gear 2: your on a LONG trip and think, "too bad I cannot teleport to my house right now" (guilty) 3: you be a character from wiz for Halloween 4: you are getting ready to clean your room, and think, "too bad I don't have an attic I can put my stuff into" (guilty) 5: whenever your swimming with a friend at a pool or a beach and the friend doesn't know you play wiz, you splash them and shout, TEMPEST!!!!!!!!!!

1 - You try to put what that little leprechaun guy on the two-pip Life spell says through Google Translate, to see if you can figure out what he's actually saying.
2 - You heard it enough times to be pretty sure at one point he's saying "PS4."

Three words: Carpal Tunnel Syndrome
Your friends list is full and..well... darn it...they just need to allow you to have a bigger list
You find yourself sneaking away to the computer during the night while everyone is asleep
You bring a bag lunch, a cooler, and a catheter to the computer. You ask a plumber how much it would cost to replace the chair in front of your computer with a toilet
Your desk collapses under the weight of your game manuals, maps, notes, quest instructions, boss drops list, and character-building notes
You set up a Facebook page for your character
You don’t watch TV anymore. You don't sleep anymore. You don't go out anymore. Your dog leaves you.
You think moving the mouse around is exercise
When your wife says "If you don't turn off that machine and come to bed, then I want a divorce!", you tell your game buddies, “I don’t know about you, but I plan to hunt ‘til dawn!”
You play the game for 16 hours straight hoping a certain "special" person will be online soon
Your relationship in WIZARD101 has gone farther than any you have had in real life
You have to be pried from your computer by the "Jaws of Life"
You tell your spouse, "Just let me finish this quest; then I’ll come to bed." 5 hours later, you’re still working on it
You call Pizza Hut and try to order 2 goat cheese pizzas for your dog
You’re outside on a smoke break at work… a dragonfly buzzes by you and you say, "free king Evil Imps!"
The teacher asks you, "Is everyone ready for the test?" you say, "Hold On! Let me cast Blade first!"
You look at your daughter and think, "I really should help her level some".
You have to lock up your peridot athame because the cats next door are beginning to look like good xp.
You ask a friend, "What's that big shiny thing in the sky?" He says, "It's the sun."

This one is absolutely majestic...
In school, you are asked to do a report on Rome.
Since you are addicted to Wizard101, it will take you only 48 hours. In school, you read out your report to the class and no one gets it.
"In Rome, all the cities are separated into three tiers. All of them are inhabited by scary dragons, zombies, giant spiders, and ghost knights. There are also warlords that help people out, but they have silly Eastern European accents. On Tier 1, there are out-of-place towers where they store crystals, but the zombies guard them. Evil pirates run riots in the streets too. There's even a plaza where you can farm a giant demon elephant to get an evil grim reaper for a pet! You'll reach a giant chasm where they have vaults where the enemies are totally overpowered, too. On Tier 2, you can stop at a town where a sassy crystal ghost sends you to a hatchery haunted by even more ghost knights! Then you go through a battle arena where they wear turtleneck sweaters that cover half of their face! On Tier 3, you can enroll in an academy that only teaches pyromancy and necromancy, and a weird place surrounded by green and purple crystals! It's all dominated by a volcano where an evil wizard commandeers a giant dragon!!!"
You ended up failing the test.
Wait isn't Valencia, Italy? Rome is in Italy. I always thought Dragonsprye was Germany (atleast that's what I thought you were talking about). But other than that great story!

Diary of a Wizard (a now closed fansite) has a wonderful post from Postcards from the Spiral about the Top 10 Ways You Know You’ve Been Playing Too Much Wizard101
TOP TEN WAYS YOU KNOW YOU’VE BEEN PLAYING TOO MUCH WIZARD101 (As if there IS such a thing!) 10. You’ve convinced your child/parent/significant other to create their own account so that you can battle together. 9. You’ve purchased a new computer so that people in your house can play together or play online at the same time. 8. You’ve set up a wireless network, after procrastinating for at least five years, so that people in your house can play at the same time. 7. When driving or riding in a car, you keep looking at the dashboard for a yellow arrow to tell you which direction to go and how many more steps until you get there. 6. When you reply to a text message sent to your phone, you press the “r” key and don’t understand why you don’t immediately see a text box. 5. You’re on a first-name basis with the employees at your neighborhood 7-11 (or wherever you buy Wizard 101 gift cards). 4. The employees know the name of at least one of your wizards, and ask you which wizard will get the pet from this particular gift card. 3. You’ve had a dream about leveling up. 2. You’ve had a dream about Merle Ambrose summoning you to his office (bonus points if he does NOT have a yellow exclamation point over his head). 1. You’ve had a dream about Wizard 101 announcing a seventh chair will be available in each player’s classroom, and you rushed to your computer the next morning to finally start a wizard from the seventh school on your account.
The only one I would add would be you see a stick on the ground and think -ooh! Mistwood!
Thank you both for the article and we encourage our players to list their own below!
