WoW FTW!

What you said sounded kinda sounded like something that Jack Thompson would say. "These MMOs are causing addictions" similar to his comments on GTA causing violent behavior.

Addiction is more to do with the person having an addictive personality. MMOs are a catalyst. They are fun and time consuming and someone with an addictive personality could easily become addicted to playing the game. But for most people (like me) that is not the case. People could become addicted to video games in general.

play aion, it's better, not as easy as Wow.

Honestly I might play WoW Cataclysm for the Werewolf race, but I will probably lose interest...

I liked it for a while, but by the time I hit 80, I didn't have a good raid clan, so I pretty much had nothing to do. I was just logging to do my dailies....which is pretty sad.

I never said that MMO's are the cause of the addictions. I said: "You'd be surprised to know how many people have real addictions to MMO's". The addictive personality that you refer to has to be triggered by something. For example, a person that never smoked can easily trigger the addiction to cigarettes after trying it a few times. I agree that for most people it's not the case, but I believe that it's much easier to get hooked to an MMO rather than a console game. But that is just my opinion, I would be interested as a gamer to read a study paper on the subjet if you know any.

Cry me a river. Go play something else.

^Will do I was just frustrated when I posted this. They really need to think about lowering their monthly fee or they will continue to see users cancel their subscription. Is it worth 15 a month? I suppose for most... However, I don't pay a company 12-15 a month for shit customer service. It takes at least 2-3 days or more for them to even respond to your ticket. I am also on Chromaggus which is pretty much always low pop. It went to medium pop for a little when they were offering free transfers to the server. I work 2nd shift so I usually just played during mornings and late night. Log onto low pop server around 1 am after work and there is hardly anyone on. Sure you can say transfer servers but I'd rather not so I guess I'll just wait till next expansion.


My main point is why the hell would you even care to get the best gear right now when the expansion is just going to come out probably late fall and all the gear will be shit then. My lowest gear is 226 I think and I have a few 245s and the 264 emblem cape.. Pretty much I see no point in playing right now because of the expansion coming out in future. I am too tired of the game to lvl any more alts at this point even though I have almost all the boa gear.

My other main point is that it is good to take a break from WoW because when you come back it is more interesting than just playing every day in a row for years.

And its threads like this that shows you why I never even tried to play World of Warcraft.

That's right, I don't even call it by its annoying abbreviation.

I'll keep my sanity and social life in tact. And keep to more social multiplayer games that also have the option for single player gameplay when they arrive such as Old Republic and Diablo III.
