For me it was easily Diablo II.
I discovered the game in the spring of 2001 and began playing it obsessivly. Soon I converted all my close friends. Things changed from, "hanging out friday/saturday doing whatever" to "playing Diablo II together online/taking turns watching someone play Diablo II and making comments."
Since I was too young at the time to have a job, and I didn't care for extracurricular activites, all I ever did was go to school and play Diablo II. I rarely got more than a few hours of sleep a night, and every day I'd go into school feeling like I would die from exhaustion. To this day I blame it for my delayed sleep disorder.
But, in August of 2003, two of my friends managed to steal my account password. They attempted to transfer my items equally to their accounts, but my one friend, feeling he had been cheated and filled with greed, pulled the power plug of his computer and all my items were lost. I was so pist off and disgusted that I stopped playing and sold my copy. Soon after my friends quit too, and I've never played the game since.
Yet, in the two+ years I played I must've logged over 5,000 hours.
