How can i keep a balance between life and WoW?

So I just started on World of Warcraft. I have already found the game very addicting. I have seen my friends fall into the abyss of Warcraft. What is a good way to keep my social life and WoW balanced? The many people that tell me they wasted 4 years of their life with the game. I love the game, but understand i need to draw a line. Any suggestions on a sorta schedule of playing WoW would be great.

1. Dont become an obsessed person and have wow take over your life. Limit it so you dont play more than about 9 hours a week. Call your friends a lot and stay out of your house. If your out places then you wont be playing wow and you can enjoy your life.
2. I only read the first sentence. Say goodbye to your social life, your grades, your family, and anything else. Unless you have some kind of insane human power you aren't going anywhere soon. Enjoy, I recently just quit. It's only because I have insane human powers.
3. Try to only play it for a few hours every day. If it's a weekend then feel free to make it an all nighter. Otherwise try to limit yourself.
4. dont play it???
5. ok ..here is wat u do ...get the whole 200% exp gain in the char ....DO NOT TRAIN or play... ur char till it reach whole exp bar to 200% exp gain ... u will find more time for ur normal life and also some time for ur WoW life. Its also make u feel lvling up fun. try it sometimes.
6. there is an option that allows you to set up and certain play time for your account. you can make more friends and hang out with them instead of playing WoW or get a girlfriend or some girl to f*uck. that helps
7. I have a standard policy where I only play at the end of the day, when I have accomplished all that I need to for the day (wife and kid keeps me running) This usually only allows me to play maybe 1-3 hours a day (5-6 days a week) but it keeps my priorities on what is important.
8. I totally agree WoW is VERY addicting, so just put your real life before your WoW life and you should be good! Late night playing is always fun just be sure to get some sleep, all nighters are not good unless it is a weekend! :)
