It's pretty much a given that I'll go through a lengthy "how the hell is it DAWN, I just put the kids to bed five minutes ago" obsession with any new game I buy.
Hell, I do it when programming (for fun rather than for pay) some new exciting project.
The only difference is in how long that obsessive stretch lasts. With Ultima Online the initial "Oh hell, I was planning to sleep last night but now I have to go to class" stretch lasted four or five months, and the "getting mostly enough sleep, doing the essential tasks required to sustainably support my UO addiction" lasted for 2.5 years or so.
