here are a few tips for you my fellow wow addicted :)
1
Do something WoW-related. Here's a list of examples:
- Update your Add-ons and Mods to the game. Chances are some of them are out of date.
- Beef up on your strategy. Read ahead for the upcoming boss fights so you'll be prepared when you reach them.
- Look for a guild to join. Try the WoW Realm Forums as many of the realms have a recruiting sticky.
- Read up on strategy for your class.
- Consider a new talent build, you can find talent calculators online. [1]
- Make a list of the stats of all your equipment, add-ons, enchantments, and talents. Mathematically calculate the optimum combination.
- Read some "lore" or work on your backstory.
- Listen to some podcasts about World of Warcraft [2][3].
- Listen to WoW radio[4].
- Draw your character. Create real and absurd situations for your character to be in. You can even create comics if you think you're good at it.
- Sleep. This way you are well rested when WoW Realms come back up.
- Try a different RPG game. Who knows? You might find a new addiction.
- Play World of Warcraft private servers. However, know that World of Warcraft "private servers" are against the policy and, if others find out that you've played on a private server, this can even get you banned on the official server.
- Watch World of Warcraft videos on Youtube.com. Some of them are actually entertaining to watch. One of them that is commonly known throughout World of Warcraft is about a guy named Leroy Jenkins. Watch it, if you are an experienced player of WoW it will be much more enjoyable!

Take a break from thinking about World of Warcraft and do something completely unrelated.
- Download some music to listen to during the next big boss fight. Good music can help a lot of things for most people.
- Go for a walk. Have you breathed some fresh air lately?
- Go on wikiHow and edit something. Maybe you can use your vast WoW knowledge and skills to improve the articles in this category?
- Hang out with your friends. Like Blizzard says, "Bring your friends to Azeroth, but don't forget to go outside Azeroth with them as well."
- Try not to panic. Even in the worst case scenario, the realms have never been down more than 16-20 hours in a row, and rarely more than 8.
- Periodically check that maintenance hasn't finished ahead of schedule - apparently it has been known to end at 7.30 instead of 10 on occasion.....
- Learn a new language - free online lessons are easy to find
but please what ever you do
