Forums - PC - Report: World of Warcraft is as addictive as cocaine

i never have play WoW s i dont know if is addictive



Around the Network

One thing that should be noted.

 

World of Warcraft is addictive. But because it is easy to be addicted to it, people think you're addicted if you play it.

 

I played WoW for 2 years ago (before TBC), together with 8 of my friends. Over ~ 300 days, I played 180 hours on my main character (and maybe 50 or so on the others). That's less than an hour a day on average, and I found the game brilliant.

My family and some friends, however, meant that I was addicted to it. They actually managed to make me believe I was addicted to it, so I quit. I later checked, and found I had only played as much as I stated above. I wasn't really ever addicted to it.

 

I mean, I have played Fire Emblem (6-11) for ~ 50 minutes a day (average) for a year and a half now, yet nobody has said I'm addicted to that. And it's the same with TF2 (albeit just for 6 months now). 

 

So essentially, I was considered (and believed I was) addicted to WoW, because it was WoW, not because I played it a lot.

PS: I'm not saying that there aren't people who are addicted to it, but I believe that most of the people who are "addicted" are just stories blown out of proportion.
