This game is my life. I live for it.

I live in my moms basement and play it around nine or ten hours a day. I have 3 level 70's on three different realms. I suggest you get this game, you will love it.

That's sad.
Really sad.

I play the game, but I'm not addicted. I honestly can stop whenever I want to. I'm level sixty, I play the game sparingly as not to get myself hooked. Once I hit level 70 with my hunter, I'm done.

Im only a guest here till my account gets activated (cant activate it here in school) But anyway here is my two cents. I dont find it addicting because if im not playing this im either watching tv or surfing the internet? Whats the difference? And personally I find this alot more fun then sitting around watching tv or spending time on the internet. I mostly play after school because there is nothing else to do after school and on weekends I go visit my girlfriend during the day and come home and play more that night (She lives 45 min away so I only see her on weekends) I like my lifestyle and its going to stay this way =P

....You should ask my boyfriend Miller....THEN you'll know how addictive this game really is....I can't pry him from the computer most time.

'Hold on, let me just finish this quest.'

'I'll come to bed in a minute, need to find three more of the same item.'

My personal experience is that this game is the most addicting thing ive ever done. And it really doesnt make it any easier that unlike any other things that i like to do i dont have to leave my home dont have to spen any money except for the monthly cost which is almost nothing compared to everything else i enjoy and the fact that i play on a laptop so im not just confined to one spot when i am playing its just so dam convenient compared to everything else i do that i really just go to work and do everything that i have to do before i come home so i dont have to leave out again. Also the fact that many of my family and friends play so even when im not playing theres someone calling me saying get on get on get on. My PS2 and 360 gets really no play anymore at all one of my friends hates me because i introduced the game to him and now it has consumed his life also. And then i ordered all the novels from blizzard and read them like nonstop (i think there were like 8 or 9 of them) and after actually knowing the entire backstory of warcraft (which from what i can tell few people actually know) the game just became like 10 times more interesting to me because now everything i see in the game the npcs the creatures the heros and even the different areas and their names i now know what they all mean and how they came to be and why alot of the areas and cities look the way they do. I havent met one person yet who even knows what the burning crusade is other than "oh its the expansion." Blizzard claims they put between 50 and 70 million into the production of this game and to me it definitely shows.

You people aren't the only ones concerned about its addiction, recently a country or state or something (forgot what it is) started putting some type of curfew or ban or something on Wow because a child died of neglect from his parent whom were so addicted to Wow didn't give a dam about there child, and there was another incident where an Asian played Wow for 62 hours straight non stop and died instantly after he stopped playing.

definitly ......this game is a bit of a problem im in 6th grade i played it all the time in the summe rbut hen school came i cracked right down to it....im not a geek iether .lol surprissingly
but my dad plays this whenever he can aswell

yes that thing about the southpark thing everything on that is exactly true because ..well it is...lol

Actually yes sometimes it is take it from me Im Big B (if you dont kno my nickname thats fine my real name is Bloin in WOW) and i used to play it like 20 hours a day on weekends so yea its pretty addicting but Its really fun too

I don't get the appeal. Yeah, it's fun at first but like any other game it gets boring. I don't get how people can't even be turned away to use the bathroom. It's beyond me that a parent could ignore their child, that they brought into this world and act so selfishly. This game isn't that great. If you have some self-esteem you'll realize many aspects of what makes this game boring. I think if you're mental stable, and once you get over the "cool" factor of it being Online. Then it's a yawn fest. I think Wow should put a time limit 7-8 hours a day max. Then a login ban for 4-5hours. I think people should view it only as a game. I lost a friendship over this because our testosterone poisoned BF's didn't know the definition of "game" but needless to say I don't deal with any of them anymore.

I use to think that I had to be at a certain level by the end of the week so a few hours a day in my freetime should suffice but then I asked myself why? and there was no reason for it. That's when I realized I wasn't playing for fun (When the reason developers make games is for FUN! ... and money.) So I thought I would only hop on when I was bored. So a few hours a day turned into 2hrs or less every few days. Then it turned into 2 hours a week until I would only get on a few hours every few weeks, then a month. Then not at all, I never renewed my subscription.




So when I broke it down, when I play a normal game I play it only for a few weeks (or less). Then I usually finish it. Then I replay it later if it has that certain factor. Then if I removed the "real" people, cause I thought who am I trying to impress? These people don't give a crap, they have their real lives to contend with. I realized it gave us repetitive task that stretches out so it takes us 40mins to hours to do when a normal game it would only take 10mins-20mins to do and the normal game would do it in a more interesting personable tailored manner (cutscenes, FMVS the works)
