I lost my home to "Travian", not me playing it but my wife. I lost everything, because she took it to keep me from complaining about her online addiction. Women can do that still. This was like 8 years ago when most people still didn't get online addictions. She was spending a lot of money on "gold" and we were getting calls from bills we couldn't pay. When I tried to talk to her about it once, the first and only time, she went to work (she was playing at work) typed up a raft of false complaints against me and a short time later I was divorced with only what I could pack in my car.

I could have taken the house and probably more, but she got custody of my son and I didn't want to upset that for him. Fortunately he was almost ready for college and is now out of there. According to him she is still playing and spending up to half her monthly salary on it.

The real power of these things is that the game keeps moving when you are offline, calling you back to it so you won't get left behind
