i have been addicted- for a few months each- to runescape ( a long time ago) and silkroad, for a while. so i plane on never touching WoW

Why are people so addicted to WoW. I tried it, the only good thing I could see about it was the art style, everything else was just plain boring, like every other MMO on the web.

WoW sucks, I absolutely hate that game. I can't believe people would get addicted to that, to the point where they ruin their lives, JESUS! Now drugs...I got out of a 4-5 year bender, i was selling coke and oxycontin, and had a 3-500$ a day habbit, luckily I made more than enough to pay for it all, but still...I am not 5 months sober, doing great in school, and have a kickass job, and I haven't looked back yet. All I have to do is look at all my friends, and how shitty they are doing at life, and the fact they are going be worthless in a few years, f*ck all that shit!

I didn't do it.

I never played it, and I'm not going to since it looks like too big a risk. The subscription model also puts me a bit off, though.

My roommate, unfortunately. All he does is class and WoW. And all he does during class is talk about WoW. With other people who only talk about WoW. You see where I'm going.

He still gets decent marks, but he is usually bitter and rude whenever he is not playing WoW, and he very rarely will agree to do anything with his spare time except play WoW.

He's my friend since high school, and even though we're roommates, I feel lonely here.

I'm trying not to even try it, since I know I have an addictive personality (more like obsessive) but I might be forced to--I won't be home for several months, and most of my friends play it all the time, so I might have to try it so I can even talk to them.

HELP ME!!!!!

leo-j?

I've never played the game, but if I ever did, I think I could handle it. There's no way I would ever give up hanging out with friends, going to the movies, reading, etc. Those are the things I do regularly, and I wouldn't let a game get in the way of that.

I can't believe what this game has done to some people. And recently, have you seen the new commercials for the game? They have celebrities advertising it claiming they play the game to make it look cool. This way, they are just going to perpetuate the suffering WoW has afflicted.

May Mario have mercy on the poor souls who couldn't survive WoW.
