Nope. I'm being honest when I say this, but WoW was designed to take away your life.
so a rpg server and maybe even a rpg-guild (not too extreme though, then it will start sucking up your time). whatever guild it is, make sure they accept RL and casual play (and don't just pretend).
play at your own pace and enjoy the quests/scenery.
espcially if you are two playing, then make sure you motivate each other to stop, not to continue as in "only this one more thing" (which might take 30 and not expected 5 minutes). so set a time limit. it's difficult, but can work.
never been into pvp, but i think you can get nowadays with the new system pretty far and pretty leisurely?
i play e.g. EQ2 nowadays, I know there are raids in the end, but I also know that at my pace it might take a year or more to get to level 70, and I don't mind. Then there are alts to rereoll, crafting (more extensive than in WoW). My guild is a raid casual one, since they only have a few very high lv chars. And their motto is "all have a RL, so it's cool" - so far, this is perfect for me and my rl. and with the station pass, i can do some casual crafting in swg as well (and have my crafter do afk-commercial in Mos Eisley, hence the many hours in swg, which aren't the same as at-the-keyboard
e.g. If there's a party or your friends go to the cinema or something like that and you don't go because you want to play wow all evening, then you DO have a problem. Simply quit wow if that's the case.
On the other hand you can play wow and still have a real life as well. I only play wow when I'm bored or don't have anything else to do. Once wow is a priority it's dangerous.
Honestly? Just don't play. Period. As fun as WoW is, or any other MMO, it isn't worth screwing up your life over. I myself have enough things to do that for me, as I'm sure you do as well.
Also, if your friends happen to be of the opposite sex, forget WoW entirely. In fact, hack your computer into a thousand bits, because your new purpose is to wow them. Trust me on this.
Your the reason why your life sucks and you choose what you do. If your going to abandon real life for wow because you enjoy it more, aren't you better off in wow?
