11) You get a job at NCsoft 
12) Your wife gets your attention by calling you by your main's name, rather than your real one.
13) You refer to your wife by HER main's name... to her parents.
The wisdom of Shadowe: Ghostraptor: The Shadowe is wise ...; FFM: Shadowe is no longer wise.
; Techbot_Alpha: Also, what Shadowe said. It seems he is still somewhat wise 
; Bull Throttle: Shadowe was unwise in this instance...; Rock_Powerfist: in this instance Shadowe is wise.; Techbot_Alpha: Shadowe is very wise *nods*; Zortel: *Quotable line about Shadowe being wise goes here.*
14) You're more used to being called by your forum handle or shortened version. (Go on, it's easy. "Hey Z!" But that's Zee, not Zed.)
15) You do more travelling to go to CoH cons than anything else.
16) And spend more money on them too.
17) You wish there was a global chat in real life.
18) You know about Lesbian Hellions, Kill Skuls, total cat, spleens, slavemasters and all the other various injokes that have arisen. IT'S ALL GONE TO TEH AMERICANS!
19) You consider all real world problems a Nemisis Plot.
20) You use '1337' speak in real life. . .
Edit - Sneaky ninja number editing ^^
you find yourself answering a thread in the forums saying 'you kow youve plade to much cox when'
There isnt a problem on earth that cant be solved with the proper aplication of hi explosive's

What is this mythical street you speak of? Is it a realm of the daystar?

5) You try to encourage your wife/girlfriend to wear thigh high boots and patent leather outfits.

Surely this isn't a sign of excessive CoX playing if the behaviour predates any MMO play?

You end up getting more and more of the Community people on your MSN just to talk about random stuff in the day instead of issues in the game.

I was going to say... this has absolutely nothing to do with CoH.
In fact, you know you've been playing too much CoH when your girlfriend can't peel you away from it despite the fact that she's wearing the leather outfit and the thigh-high boots.

@FloatingFatMan
Do not go gentle into that good night.
Rage, rage against the dying of the light.
Trying to do Magic Desks in your living room
Trying to recall the remote to you hand
Trying to teleport to the shop
Trying to convinces you mate to upgrade and rob a bank in talos and freak give good xp prestig and infamy
You know you've played too much COX when ...
You think that you are a board moderator.
You think that "thou shalt not farm" is the 11th commandment.
1/Your girlfriend invites her 2 cutest mates round for a slumber party, a pillow fight erupts in your front room and all it does is wind you up because you've only got 5 mins left to kill that damn AV before someone leaves the TF.
2/You measure your life in how long it's gonna take you to pimp out you latest uber PvP build.
3/Whenever you close your eyes the the letters WW seemed permantly emblazoned there.
4/When you can't get to your own computer you despratley want to play with other peoples CoX. 
Think I better leave it there.....
Thinking
"Thou Shall Farm is the 11th commandment!"

I'm not good at giving advice, can I interest you in a sarcastic comment?
@Lyrik
Oh yeah:
Your mobile phone is only used to find out if your mate d/c'ed
With regards to the thigh highs and patent leather, take it to mean you try to get ure wife to dress up like your toons (my preffered being those costume items )
Got bored waiting for servers to come online so here we are:
10) All of your friends' name's are shortened versions of their main toon.
9) You have a mandatory PC running Mids at all times and every toon you make has been prepared on Mids to 50 with a full io build before you've even logged on.
8) The pain in your wrists that troubled you a few years ago is now the only thing that tells you your still alive.
7) What people are wearing in the street serves only as inspiration for your next character's cossie.
6) You start telling tell your friends/spouse/kids that you're afk or you'll brb.
5) You try to encourage your wife/girlfriend to wear thigh high boots and patent leather outfits.
4) You're best friends with Katie Hannon and the Ice Mistral.
3) You thanked the one above when they decided to give extra slots last in the last issue.
2) You've actually stopped speaking to people in team chat ... it affects your xp/time.
and...
1) The idea of a threesome involves you logging on an alt.
Please feel free to add some more, I'm sure they'll be more accurate and funnier.
