One of the ones I think is fairly obvious is Cutlass Isles in Peregrine.

If you've ever been over there you know that the whole place is literally SWARMING with Rikti monkeys.

The famous Lucas Arts adventure game series involving monkeys and pirates was, of course, Monkey Island.

I would suggest that at about leve 40 or so, players get the option to take a mission that lets them teleport to any zone in the game, excluding, maybe, the Shadow Shard.

As for the shard... I'd suggest more teleporty thingies instead of the gravity wells. They're fun (Especially to watch characters flail as they fall), but impractical Also, REVEAL THE WHOLE FREAKIN' MAP. It's too confusing to navigate blind if you can't go "as the bird flies"

I think all you need to do is ask yourself if you play to the exclusion of other things.

Are you missing work/homework/things you used to do with friends and family? Is it a problem to turn the game off if you're not in a task force or something? Or, if there was a real emergency, would you have a real difficult decision to just quit the game right then and there?

If you answered "No" to all of the above questions, you probablly don't have an addiction, but maybe you should look into cutting back on play time a little bit.
