Am I addicted or what?

OMG, I've been debating whether I should quit SRO completely or start over again. I haven't played SRO until recently (two weeks) ago. I quit playing SRO over a year ago and want to start playing again. However, I am afraid that it will ruin my social life like it did when I used to play it before. I was planning on getting premium plus which is 5 hours of grinding.... 5 hours!!! If i do get it, I will be committed to spending that much time in the game because I paid for it and don't want to waste it.
The reason why I'm debating right now is because I just had a huge fight with my group of friends (real life). Just two days ago, I decided to leave the group and not talk to them unless they talk to me first. So I decided that I will not initiate a conversation but if they initiate it, I will gladly respond. Because of that, my roommate (Im in college, so yes I have a roommate).... anyway, my roommate is part of this group and I've been trying to not talk to him also unless he starts talking to me where I would respond.
The thing is.... I don't want to end up not doing anything for hours because I'm not talking to my friends and I always want to do something and playing SRO seems like a good thing to do to kill time because I'm not talking to my friends. When they are outside playing soccer, I don't want to go and join them and what am I suppose to do? I don't want to sit and do nothing and playing SRO seems fun and preoccupying.
Should l just play SRO or quit the game and make up with my friends again?
Edit: This is really sad how I'm asking you guys what I should do with my life

First of all, you should try develop a spine so when you need to straighten your shit out, you are able to do so. No offense, but the first step is using your own will power.
Make up with your friends. Please.
Learn to control how much SRO you play. Keep a healthy balance.

Friends are friends because they are willing to make sacrifices for each other. I know this isn't exactly what u were asking, but i feel the way you are acting is very stubborn. Even if this is not your fault it isn't relevant, if they really are your friends you should be willing to put your pride aside and concentrate on whats important, rebuilding your friendship. If these people really did mean a lot to you than keeping your friendship with them should be your main priority and be worth sacrificing your pride and ego to do so.
But hey, thats just me. Without my very small amount of friends i wouldn't be alive, they are the only thing that keep me here. So i value the idea of friendship pretty highly and will go to a great length to try and keep it in balance.
As far as sro is concerned, if you have nothing better to do with your free time than just play sro, i see no problem with it. Everyone has hobbies, i currently am spending a lot of my free time playing my old consoles and getting in touch with my past self. Some people read, some play sport and some play sro, it really isn't a big deal. Learn some self control and you wont have any problems.

yeah, and that free time should be reserved for studying and enjoying the social aspects of college, not locking yourself in a room for 3-5 hours playing a video game. you're supposed to be enjoying the college experience, not just learning it.
and i doubt you'll be passing if you don't study at all, unless you feel like cramming atleast 12hrs straight the day before your exams, which isn't a good idea.

Play Warrock. 3 types of premium, bronze, silver, and gold; 5$, 10$, and 15$ respectively. Silkroad is a cruel mistress, it should get better after the legend update if you can wait long enough.

I don't understand from where comes this feeling for so many people :
" if i don't use all my tiket hours i waste it "....
i mean .. so what?
there will be more the next day, and more, and more the next month,
you r not gonna die next week, are you?
I think people wants to get " 100 % of the possible exp that there is everyday" ... but .. why??
be 80 asap .. yes but .. then?
" i am on tiket - have gt -i don't wanna waste it "
That is the legit issue , with those sentence you kill the fun in the game , your's and other's.

so true, people are always concerned about their GT and it kills the fun.
You're too busy grinding and make the game... a chore.
People on servers that don't want to waste their GT would eventually bot in my opinion
I think we can't give you a clear answer without you telling us what your friends did.. if they did something really bad/mean whatever and you don't like it and they don't show any remorse for their actions then.. you shouldn't get back with them obviously.

You shouldn't play sro again, it is addicting. Make up with your friends, and you can play soccer with them instead of having to sit at home for 5 hours in the same spot playing a game.
