Know anyone who plays too much Warcraft?

I am really curious as to how many others notice their friends or relatives playing World of Warcraft day in and day out?

I certainly do, a number of them, I don't play though.

I didn't find any threads regarding this, and its certainly not game discussion so I'm not going in there, and I checked, it doesnt break any rules.

discuss anyone?

No.

I have a few guildmates that in my opinion need to take a break.

Me? I'm taking a break from raiding due to said people. Nothing fun like them blowing up over a heal or two (i wasnt assigned to heal them anyways... yeeesh!)

When I first bought it.....my friend who was gonna play online with me, couldn't! I quickly got sidetracked with my school and lost interest!


My little sister on the other hand, needs a life....a REAL LIFE! She would play 24/7 if I let her, shes even bought enough game cards to get her thru the end of the year!! One morning last week...I caught her playing at 2am, after she started playing at 6pm! Its a good thing that its my computer... I bought it... I just let her use it to keep the peace in the house...and she does understand that if I need it for school she does stop playing for that....but damn! Whats really bad....she has started reading the WOW books, when shes not playing!!

oh man i remember when one of my roomates was really into that and then he actually turned down sex for warcraft! he sold his character on eBay after that though! So he learned his lesson.

go to the lan cafe, internet shop in ur neighborhood

you will see some ppl live in those places

Considering this thread is based on the result of playing a video game, it is more appropriate in this forum. Carry on ladies and gents.

I probably play far too much than humanly reasonable. I don't know how many hours a day though. Some days it 1-2hrs, other days it would be 12+hrs. But I also work shifts, so I have alot of time during the week to do nothing. And it's not like I neglect anything, I still spend time with my wife and kids on a daily basis, and do the normal husbandly stuff like yardwork, etc. etc. But with that said I have 4 level 70's, and 5 others characters at 26-62 level range. Some would say that is alot, but unless my wife starts bitching at me for not spending enough time with her, then I'm not too worried about it.

The stories you hear about WoW are crazy. I've heard of urban legends of people being found dead at their computer screens because they forgot to eat!

It really is an addictive game tho. Very addictive. They should do more studies on video games and their addictive nature. I hear Dopamine might be involved in establishing the addiction. If thats true, they need to monitor this so people don't become addicted to it.

I used to play this game around 10-12 hours a day, sometimes more, when I was unemployed for a few months. Trying to get full Beastmaster set was gawd awfully hard (never got the chest piece btw). After taking my Druid to 70 and gotten the Drake mount I decided to have a brief hiatus of about 5 months. It's now almost a year since I played and while I do miss from time to time I know my time is better spent on my family. But when the expansion comes out I will give it a try and see if I still like the game.
