I remember, there was an American guy a couple of years ago who died from excessive EverQuest playing, died infront of his PC. His mother then sued Verant (or Sony Online Entertainment as they're now known), didnt get anywhere though.

Then there were lots of news reports on CNN, Fox etc about the game.
There was a segment on Richard and Judy earlier this year about EverQuest, they even requested players from a forum i visited, to be part of the show and give info on their experiences. "Soccer Mom Syndrome" seems to have spread far and wide.
