I'm a one-time WoW addict as well. I got out of it basically when I realized that the entire playerbase was made up of either immature 13 year olds or drama-mongering idiots. Afterwards, I bought a PS2 and learned to love single-player gaming again. :)

Oh, and I got out, made real friends, and had lots of sex. With women.

Yep. Best decision I ever made.



"'Casual games' are something the 'Game Industry' invented to explain away the Wii success instead of actually listening or looking at what Nintendo did. There is no 'casual strategy' from Nintendo. 'Accessible strategy', yes, but ‘casual gamers’ is just the 'Game Industry''s polite way of saying what they feel: 'retarded gamers'."

It was a combination of my parents forcing me and my own free will. I felt sick looking in the mirror (was 220 pounds as a FRESHMAN!) and i couldnt bare it anymore, ive been off it for a year and i weigh 170 now.

It took alot, but it would not have happened if my parents didnt also force me (though i could of found a way), the game is EXTREMELY addicting, whoever made the design at blizzard is a genious. All i can say is dont ever try it if your a gamer.

 

Overall people will most likely need outside help, or make them release what its doing to them


Well, kudos to you and your family. I want to help my friend out but I don't think there's a shot if I can't get his parents on-board.

thanks, friends were also a big reason, i felt that i never had time for them, maybe if you can group up all his friends you can do something



                 With regard to Call of Duty 4 having an ultra short single player campaign, I guess it may well have been due to the size limitations of DVD on the XBox 360, one of various limitations multi-platform game designers will have to take into consideration-Mike B

Game trailers-Halo 3 only dissapointed the people who wanted to be dissapointed.

Bet with Harvey Birdman that Lost Odyssey will sell more then Blue dragon did.

I know a friend who got lot to WoW. Fortunately he got into Soul Calibur II and well... you had to go to Arcades or people's houses to play that, so we busted him out of it.

And on another note... this is one of the reasons I harbour a deep dislike of MMO's... too many people think they can handle it and end up sitting there for hours and hours on end.

I'm a WoW player, but i'm no addict.

It's taken me over 8 months to get to level 61. But I guess that's not because I haven't played it a lot; around 18-19 days total. I basically set a goal everytime I get on for what I want to get, or how much experience I want to gain(which isn't a whole lot most of the time), and then I quit and talk to friends, or play other games with friends.

 But I don't have an addictive personality. I get bored easily, and I need to change to different things to keep my mind occupied.

people sit here at VG chartz for hours and hours on end... its like one step below MMORPGs

I've had friends that have lost their lives to Ragnorak online and Everquest. No WoW yet though.

Oh and drugs. Couple of friends who have lost their lives due to drugs.

I played it when it first came out for 2 months then I got bored and stopped. (I was 16, in gr.11) Then 2 years later I played it again for 3 months and got bored again, so I stopped. I haven't played it since then

I was one of them for 2 years..i survived..

 Same. Last summer I got really bored with the game but just couldn't get myself to quit.... then I had this awful group doing one of dungeons in Outland, they were so bad that I just quit the group, logged out, and cancelled my account right there.
