Get into something new, like a sport and watch some pro sports games on TV with friends. Try to find some other activities to do with friends as well.
I hang out with friends everyday after school and we go to a shopping center or the park to play. I'm already really fit my mile time is 6:48 at best. I've gotten gold awards at my school for both pushups and situps (25 Pushups/ 50 Situps Respectively) and Pacers (90 Pacers). My day time is already filled up. What I'm talking about is I'm staying up til 3:00 in the morning and sneaking on my laptop just to get my share of mabi that day.

I'm not sure if you're in middle school or high school, but I was referring to something more exhausting, like varsity sports practice coupled with maybe orchestra or band. If you're really occupied, you should be tired enough to sleep through that 3:00 AM time you normally play.

I do that too sometimes. (I really hate it when people call it an "addiction" or call me addicted 'cause it's not a freaking drug or anything there's no withdraw there's no compulsive whatever IT'S NOT AN ADDICTION) *ahem*
You should try and go on a break. Maybe post here or make a promise to someone you're not gonna play, until say, your GPA goes up. And I agree with what everyone else says, get a hobby, start playing a sport (you'll need the exercise ;D), set some goals and yeah, I could go on all day.
It might also be that you have a compulsive nature (like moi) so you might just have to shift your interests and start obsessing over something else. It's a bit of a cheap way out, but it can help.

I got grounded for a month and had less urge to play Mabinogi. Just force yourself into taking really long breaks and you will feel less controlled by it.

Yeah, after you take a long break, you don't even feel like touching the shortcut anymore... Only thing that will keep you going are pretty much friends...

I have this problem with gaming in general, I'm just too weak to balance my time correctly between games and school so if I notice my schoolwork slipping I simply take a very long extended break from gaming in general or until my studies are back in order.

Set limits for yourself, like a cap on levels. Also set goals. You'll spend less time online if you know what it is you want to accomplish. It wouldn't hurt to limit your playing until after your homework is finished either...do not play mabi on hw breaks, never works out.

Clearly your goals are not lofty enough. When I was in high school, varsity swim practice, orchestra, schoolwork, club management, and cello practice were enough to make me so tired and occupied that I really didn't have enough time for games. I do admit that middle school was easy. Wait until you get into high school.
