...from WoW who lives a few thousand miles away for help or anything like that. Even when one begins to criticize the game or it's hardcore community, a lot of the self proclaimed gamer fans will turn rather quickly.

To those who criticize ... the casual gamer who plays WoW or any other mmo or the like for a few hours a week or so, is not what is meant here.

now you dont have to delete you toon or cancel your account all u got to do is not pay and ur account will b frozen but ull still have it all u got to do is pay again and ull start playing again.
Been playin since it came out I have never been addicted I haven't even hit 80 I just talk to friends and piss ppl off but yeah there are some ppl who go crazy I had a friend that didn't sleep for two days because he want to be the first to 80 I don't understand what it is but some ppl can't deal with it
GRATS! now u will find a other thing to be addicted... this is some people who get addicted to something, drugs,game,console,msn,facebook, whatever! these people are people who are in want of affection
this is to all you Guys all slag this guy off for no reason, you're the ones who make world of warcraft a worser Game you're all the ones who are addicted .
and can't get a life you're all crazy mother fuckers who haven't got a clue How to fucking gain shit. he's Done the right thing don't put Him down you Fools he played to much and he realised how many Hours he played on the chair but gained Nothing
AND YES ANOTHER EXPANION IS READY TO COME OUT NEXT YEAR MANY MORE ADDICTED TO WOW
The point is you're enjoying making the progress, not trying to get something finished. If you are, well then it's probably best to quit and we don't want lootwhores in the game anyway.
I'm sick of these weak minded people thinking the game has consumed them and all of their time. Is it really that hard to simply limit your play time to an hour or two a day? Come on...
If you truly feel hopelessly addicted then use Blizzards parental control features to limit yourself to a certain amount of play-time before the game locks you out. Randomise the password so you can't undo the restrictions, don't go wasting money like this guy who probably bought the game back a month later.
in my case i don't need cuz i actually only play 1/2h a day but that parental thing with the random pass sounds like a good ideia for the ppl that complain all the time... "oh, i can't control my playtime... i'm addicted"... yes, addicted to being stupid... no one is grabbing your hands or something like it
Yeah I tottaly agree with 88Vrus88 . this fat idiot thinks he has found some secret conspiracy omg go shoot yourself fatty.My life before and now is exactly the same... the difference is that now in my free time instead of watching movies and some tv series or play FIFA with friends I play WoW with friends and I learn english from it.
Pause this video at 3:40 and you will see right after he deletes his characters in WOW he still clearly has a Lord of the Rings Online launcher on his desktop. What a junkie! Lol
good on you! i did the same thing not long ago... but i think my addicition was a little worse. 4 70's :X.. it all comes down to what do you want to do? make money and become well respected in a fantasy world or do the same in the real world. yet i dont have any regrets about the game because all in all its made me take less for granted and spend more time expanding my knowledge. for all you who still play, i wish you luck! but youll never be the best because there will just be another expansion
hmm my life before and after wow... its still the same. and just cuz you play wow that dossent mean you cant learn anything els or that you life gets worse. take things in moderations i play often but when i dont want to i stop and do something els... but i think hes right about the rage of younger kids who are addicted. i dont agree but i respect it.
Deleting / Canceling your account ain't worth it.. you could just sell it for some money If you wanna quit it :P.. Anyway you did the right thing.. I'm gonna do aswell soon :P
Your right, why should I get addicted to WoW when I could get addicted to drugs...This game saves people from their addictions. "Your lost in this other world" Pfft I have a job and a GF yet this game is ruining my life! And he could have sold those used games...that breaking part made me cry.
I can see how this game is addicting mainly because those who play it want everything fast. So in order to achieve levels, gear and ranks faster than all the other players you have to spend a shit load of time playing the game, around 5 hours in one day to gain 10 levels or something like that.
If you are addicted just moderate your game time and what usually would take you 6 hours straight spread it out in your time you only spend 30 minutes a day over a span of a week
I was reading this medical journal which says that playing video games, especially those mindless video games is extremely harmful for people under 18. Why? Our brain grows untill age 18. Just like a muscle, it needs excercise or it gets rusty. If you play games, your mind will be "on hold". For people under 18, a good alternative would be brain exercise games like puzzles etc.
There is still another problem. Given that technology doubles every 18 months, EVERY game out there will be outdated because all games are technology bound. So if your game is not important anymore, who gives a shit if you were the champion in it years ago? Have you ever heared of AKG clan (code seven) of Battlefield 2? Didnt think so. They wanted to be famous via BF2. They became the champions, yet they are not famous.
Part 1/2 I agree with Shawn. Think about it. No matter how much you "accomplish" in gaming, is it really an accomplishment? Can you even put that "accomplishment" on your resumate? I know that you can get lots of fame/money etc from gaming but the chance of that is EXTREMELY unlikely. First, you will have to be at the top of your game among millions of people. Second, the game you play has to be big enough at that particular time. Third, even if you become the world champion..Continute
The way I see it, and I am not an expert on this, the root of the problem is not the game it self but they way we approach playing the game. We live in a society where we have to have/get everything now or our life is over. We do not pace our self. There is no reason to sacrifice a weekend getting tier 7 when you can pace yourself and get it over a week while giving your self enough time to enjoy other things. I play the game and I dont have a problem. its called sustainable and balanced living.
lol someone said memory loss if you guys are playing that much you need to leave seriously I mean god thats horrible. I have a gf, a job, play outside, have friends, and play mmoropgs at night
You started playing World Of Warcraft cause you had no life you were a loser. World of Warcraft embraced you, it took you in and gave you a life. Mother WOW let you suckled on her tit to nurture you back to health. And this is how you pay her back?
You will soon realize the attempt to become a succesful person in life is no longer there and it will never be. Picking up and instrument to learn how to play will not feel the same as you thought it would. On the first few stroke of the guitar strings you play you
will get tired and bored. Placing your head down in sadness and remembering how great it was to run around in World Of Warcraft.
caught someone farming and you would come from behind and kill them ,then running away laughing to seek for another victim. So, Go Ahead! Go back try to be someone in your pathetic world you call earth. Mother WOW will always be there to take you back.She never turns her children away.Mother WoW awaits with her arms wide open waiting for one of her many children to come back. *Sounds of laughter echos through Azeroth* Muahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha!
lol, i dont buy your theory, i never liked world of warcraft or level bassed games, though im very addicted to games like far cry evolution vampire the enternal struggle generals online survival maps
Nice the guy in this video is a complete moron. He brings up conspiracy theories with no facts to back any of his inane bullshit, then makes ridiculous claims about the New World Order. Anyway, fuck you!
Good video and good for you for moving on! I've only recently become aware of internet and ,or gaming addictions. Move on with your lives folks! If you're on a computer for "nonessential use" (work or school),for longer time then you'd want to tell people,there's likely a problem. As he said,all this time,maybe 2-3 or more years!,invested in what???!
It's spring,go outside,find a cycling group,or handball court,BE WITH OTHER PEOPLE IN REAL LIFE. Very important! (For me too!)
i kno i quit like 2 weeks after i posted that since i have a life and want to stick to and besides i'd rather play xbox live and pay for like 60 games for 5 bucks a month istead of paying 15 for 1 game
Well i never liked MMORPGs they just suck so much time and offer nothing :( You waste literally million years just to get some sweet numbers to your stats page :(
umm WoW i only have 1 lvl 70 i dont have time to get another, so i dont think you shuld tell everyone that if you play it ur a zombie and i bet you took them out of the trash and reinstalled it in like 2 days =P
I am not sure If simply stopping playing those games will work for anyone as far as beating the addiction. If you play those games for achievements, then, in my openion, you wil beat the addiction by stopping to think that you can really accomplish something by mastering those games. I knew people who easily got back to gaming after a year absence. But once they remove that accomplishment idea from their heads, they quit forever just like that.
I am no longer a gamer. I was once no 87 in bf42, no 8 in bf2, one of the top 100 in Starwars battlefront2 and I have a level seventy Gladiator. So what? Even it took me a long time to reach those goals, I can't even put any of those "accomplishments" on my resumate. On the other hand, If I do a voluntary work just for one day, then I can put that on my resumate. Besides, every game, no matter how huge, is going to fade away at some point because technology doubles every 18 month.
ok id say very good job on the video, and guys WoW doesnt just make u have no life, there r tons of down sides.
my friends and it been proven, played wow for 2 years, his memory got rly rly bad, sometimes he cant remember what happend a week ago, but knows what he needs to do in WoW when he gets home... and u become obese too, and im sorry to WoW players, but u will have down syndrome, and its rlly not funny. i mean u rlly do waste money and time... JUST DONT PLAY IT!!!
what he said was so true, WoW just neutralizes u, and there will come a day when u log in on ur char, and see a lvl "70" hero who u pay $15 a month to have, and whos is wearing some super pwnage armour- but that all is just a bunch of bytes that can be deleted with just a few key strokes and a click. Guys dont play WoW, becauce one day u will realize how much u missed out on, and if u dont start living ur life now,u will be depressed bcuz u put like 2 years of ur life into this.
good thing you broke the discs, and now you have the time to level up in real life to level 80
(leveling include: mate with your girlfriend, play sports and have fun with friends and family or go on vacation and explore outland in some other county in real life)
And when you ding to level 80 in real life. You become a DeathDad and have your own gnome kids KEK!!!
Anyone else flinch when he deleted his level 70? :O
But good for you, I need to quit as well. It's hard to play wow and keep a life in order. And the only way to truely start again is to lose everything. When youre as hooked as him or me deleting your account and game is the only way to go.
Everybody is free to play what wants, but you shall control yourself to don't get addicted its very easy to play and have a good life at same time. Instead of buy multiple games and when u reach the end u buy another one, u buy one, don't get sick of it and don't waste too much money.
This is what I gotta say, is fire a bad thing? No, ppl are the ones that use it the wrong way burning things instead of cooking with it, or a knife, anything in this world, is not the things, is the people, I dont play WoW, but I do play ff11, and if you use it the right way, it wont affect your life, only YOU do that.
so, is heroin a bad thing then? I mean, it's just some chemical, right? And if someone uses it and finds themselves hooked on it-- so stimulated at a neurological level that it over-powers their will and logic to the point they HAVE to have it-- its still okay? and its okay for the person who sells the heroin to the junkie, right? Just because he knows the heroin will hook the user into coming back again and again, paying for more and more? It's cool, right? Cuz the junkie's in control, right?
Then arent humans any different from animals? So an animal kills a baby and, people say, its just an animal with no intelligence, yet, a human is blamed and put to jail and also sentence to death, why? Because no matter how we look at things, ppl make a choice, and if your addict to something, its not the drugs fault, its the user.
To use or not to use is a personal choice. The issue, then, is how members of humanity treat each other, how we take advantage of each other for profit. I wish humans were a little more like animals, because rarely do we find abuse, manipulation and slaughter within other animal species as we do in our own. what separates us from lower animals is our intellectual capacity, and humanity is destroying itself because we use our intellect against each other for profit, not survival. Soul-less stuff.
I understand that this man in the video made a choice for himself that he finds a relief in it, but its wrong to blame everything else for it, we must take responsibility and blame ourselves, we cannot say that its a games fault that we ended up worse, we can only blame ourselves for that, cause and effect, thats all there is to it.
Heroin is completely different from WoW. Your body actaully starts to NEED it in order to funtion propery. Gambling, gaming, sex, eating how the hell are these disorders.
An addiction to something like heroin any other narcotic means you rbody starts to depend on it in order to function properly, if an addict doesnt get heroin they become very ill. Ever heard of detox centers? Look into what goes on at those places. The fact you compared a game to drugs is laughable
wow that vid actualy made a lot of sense and i just started WoW cuz my friends got me into it and im dazed by it now im gunnu stop playing so much but not altogether.
World of Warcraft was made for one reason and one reason only, so Blizzard can make money. You really think they give a fuck whether they zombify you or they don't? It's a capitalist country, if you don't want to play the game - don't play it. It isn't evil, it's a productive way of making money that took a lot of work.
this guy made the most since i have ever heard about getting addicted and quiting WoW, the game is made for us to get out of the real world, nd stop us from completing our REAL goals in life nd get distracted from WoW, we are all better off not letting things and ppl take control, nd get back out in the real world and get a real hobby, word =D!
this disgusts me i play and im NOT addicted i play maybe once every 3 days in my living room while my parents are watching tv...at night...im very active during the day...only thing that impressed me in this vid is the editing the rest is just bad.
maybe when he wanted like maniac to start playing wow, speaked with some blizard emploee and give him his char back(even though they where deleted) that is what i would do at least and i think that in the new acc i would be more addicted
man i thinck u are great a lot of will and hope ! i dont play wow becuz i dont like it i so this video at a friend and i wanted to give u a comment ! :) man u are a great man with a lof of will and discipline... good job.
Its easy for you to say that you can play it without being addicted, cuz if u wan't to have fun in that game u have to dedicate a LOT of time.... I mean u can't do 1 hours raid..if u play like 1 hour pvp a day u wont get any gear and players that spend 5-10 hours playing will WHIPE URE ARSE out... + there is this lovely farming blizzard made, and that every instance's takes atleast 1hour to do..so u will be addicted without noticing it lol.
Hey man ir pretty strong willed if u got rid of a lvl 70 and snaped ur disks so i hope u keep staying away if it is realy consuming a lot of ur time but that was great seeing u snap the disks and actually being ables to do something like that it didnt seem too hard for u so the more power to ya peace
I play world of warcraft all the time I play one hour a day and got to level 70 in about 3 months without using cheats I barely ever play and I've gone months without playing. What most people lack is Self control. Moderation morons Moderation.
U can still play the game without being addicted to it, and u can keep break from the game too, i mean when you are very bored, and nothing else to do this will be good as moderation. But i dont mean to play it all the time. Ive been playing it almost year now, and i can say that im still playing it and im not addicted to it. I live normal life, and sometimes play only weekends, or hour in day. Just keep breaks but dont delete your characters, some point you feel playing again. Thanks :)
Folks, it's me, the guy who posted the video. I am happy to say that I have never played WoW or LOTRO again since making this video. I am so much happier now and am actually doing a little bit of "leveling up in life". Take care and thanks for your comments.
Why would I want to pass this addiction on to someone else by selling my characters? That would make me a sell out. Why sell something that you know is evil?
you had me until you started talking new world order. Your first step is to stop playing the victim. Take a little responsiblility for your actions. Stop blaming your lack of willpower on a conspiracy theory.
World of warcraft is not an evil game...you are the one who is gona choose how much time you gona spend playing the game.And even if you dont play the game anymore you gona find other things to do that are not better than wow like tv and maybe another game....
This is fucking stupid. You really think a gaming company that has been in business for about 25 years would suddenly start creating a conspiracy video game? WoW is just a relaxing game to play to escape the world for a bit, while offering a myraid of things to do in the game. You played for all the wrong reasons apparently, it's not a rush to the endgame. What are you going to do now that WoW is gone? Anything that replaces WoW will be just as "addictive" to you.
world of warcraft is a game, just like final fantasy, just like guild wars, just like halo 3 or any other video game. It is a way to spend free time and it is your choice whether to let it take over your life or not. World of warcraft is not part of some sinister conspiricy to take over the world. It is a way for blizzard to make even more money by providing a form of entertainment to the public. MMORPG's FPS's RPG's even TV and the internet in general can be addicting as you want it to be.
why delete them? u could just have sold them... if they had noob gear u wouldnt get much for them but a little amount of momey is better than nothing... and u cant say that its a new world order... thats a little dramatic...
i Hate it when people say that WOW is addicting, its not. Its the player's choice to play it or not. If you can be addicted to wow then any other game can make it happen too.
Yes, Life is all about being happy and self-satisfactory. But it is also about knowing your boundaries and knowing when to leave when something is not right.
Man, I need help getting away from it also. I am very addicted, and even though I keep myself from playing too much, I still crave it at all times, and it's almost always on my mind.
I wish I could delete my account, but just the thought of it makes me sick to my stomach.
I think the game is sort of addicting but not to that point i think its the player fault ur not addicting u just love it and alll that crap on how it is addicting is annoying i think you cxan stop not easy but yea. i say play the game just not much and if you really cant then yea dont play
Wow how about you delete that LOTR online account too there buddy....I saw the icon on your desktop. Wow is the shit just control yourself and you won't spend your life on it. (Next video by this guy will be him deleting his LOTR characters and saying how that game ruined his life, grow up people)
sad movie, reminded me of the ending of Terminator 2... "But I'd can't Self Terminate..." I could never do that... it would be like an artist spending 600 hours on a painting them just throwing it in the bin.... at least sell the dam thing!
I find that its OK for a game to become your life because the purpose of life is to be happy, to keep yourself entertained, if playing a game keeps you happy with your life then by all means feel free to do so.
You hit the nail on the head. While watching these type of videos tonite, I had an epiphany.
"Blizzard" means "blinding storm, isolation, stumbling around and lost".
Does this company exist for reasons other than profit? WoW certainly has affected me and my friends lives, distracting us from world events, and losing months, if not years of our lives...
Man I respect you so much. I was addicted to WoW as well. I am from ROmania and I played like 25/26h/day. I fianlly realised that after 2 month of playing my life was going bad and I deleted the game. What i didn`t do is delete my character and I felt like sad that i deleted the game. Now I know what i have to do . Good luck with your life and I love the phrase "Good bye WoW, lvl up in Life" Thanks for this awesome video. Respect !
hey man, I respect you alot for doing what you have just done, I don't play word of warcraft, but I do play addictive games like ROSE online and/or Counter strike..
it takes alot of guts what you did and this video met a little something to me and my life and I just wanted to say I respect you for what you have done and I wish the best of luck to you and your new life.
Ok what the hell is all this newer world order crap???
If you don't have time to play WoW and/or don't want to then don't. Oh and have you learned to play a musical instrument now that you've stopped playing? No probably not, because you're a lazy bastard and always were. Games can't stop you from sleeping or working out, if you want to work out then you will... duh
He's talking about being addicted you fool!! Look it up in a dictionary!! It means he wanted to but couldn't. His mind wouldn't let him and scientists still don't fully understand why.
WoW is designed to make people adicted, to make them feel as good as possible to fork out more money. Why do you think they make you pay subscriptions? Playing it in moderation is a great way to drain stress after a hard days work. Thats it.
...from WoW who lives a few thousand miles away for help or anything like that. Even when one begins to criticize the game or it's hardcore community, a lot of the self proclaimed gamer fans will turn rather quickly.
Before this turns into an essay I'll stop it here. Everyone has to know what they do for themselves. Just ... one should always keep an open mind about things, and see both sides of the coin, not completely disregard one while blindly following the other. Has been done before.

If you truly feel hopelessly addicted then use Blizzards parental control features to limit yourself to a certain amount of play-time before the game locks you out. Randomise the password so you can't undo the restrictions, don't go wasting money like this guy who probably bought the game back a month later.

good on you! i did the same thing not long ago... but i think my addicition was a little worse. 4 70's :X.. it all comes down to what do you want to do? make money and become well respected in a fantasy world or do the same in the real world. yet i dont have any regrets about the game because all in all its made me take less for granted and spend more time expanding my knowledge. for all you who still play, i wish you luck! but youll never be the best because there will just be another expansion

hmm my life before and after wow... its still the same. and just cuz you play wow that dossent mean you cant learn anything els or that you life gets worse. take things in moderations i play often but when i dont want to i stop and do something els... but i think hes right about the rage of younger kids who are addicted. i dont agree but i respect it.

Your right, why should I get addicted to WoW when I could get addicted to drugs...This game saves people from their addictions. "Your lost in this other world" Pfft I have a job and a GF yet this game is ruining my life! And he could have sold those used games...that breaking part made me cry.

I can see how this game is addicting mainly because those who play it want everything fast. So in order to achieve levels, gear and ranks faster than all the other players you have to spend a shit load of time playing the game, around 5 hours in one day to gain 10 levels or something like that.
If you are addicted just moderate your game time and what usually would take you 6 hours straight spread it out in your time you only spend 30 minutes a day over a span of a week

I was reading this medical journal which says that playing video games, especially those mindless video games is extremely harmful for people under 18. Why? Our brain grows untill age 18. Just like a muscle, it needs excercise or it gets rusty. If you play games, your mind will be "on hold". For people under 18, a good alternative would be brain exercise games like puzzles etc.
LordoftheKeyboard 3 years ago
There is still another problem. Given that technology doubles every 18 months, EVERY game out there will be outdated because all games are technology bound. So if your game is not important anymore, who gives a shit if you were the champion in it years ago? Have you ever heared of AKG clan (code seven) of Battlefield 2? Didnt think so. They wanted to be famous via BF2. They became the champions, yet they are not famous.
LordoftheKeyboard 3 years ago
Part 1/2 I agree with Shawn. Think about it. No matter how much you "accomplish" in gaming, is it really an accomplishment? Can you even put that "accomplishment" on your resumate? I know that you can get lots of fame/money etc from gaming but the chance of that is EXTREMELY unlikely. First, you will have to be at the top of your game among millions of people. Second, the game you play has to be big enough at that particular time. Third, even if you become the world champion..Continute
LordoftheKeyboard 3 years ago
The way I see it, and I am not an expert on this, the root of the problem is not the game it self but they way we approach playing the game. We live in a society where we have to have/get everything now or our life is over. We do not pace our self. There is no reason to sacrifice a weekend getting tier 7 when you can pace yourself and get it over a week while giving your self enough time to enjoy other things. I play the game and I dont have a problem. its called sustainable and balanced living.

You will soon realize the attempt to become a succesful person in life is no longer there and it will never be. Picking up and instrument to learn how to play will not feel the same as you thought it would. On the first few stroke of the guitar strings you play you

caught someone farming and you would come from behind and kill them ,then running away laughing to seek for another victim. So, Go Ahead!

I am not sure If simply stopping playing those games will work for anyone as far as beating the addiction. If you play those games for achievements, then, in my openion, you wil beat the addiction by stopping to think that you can really accomplish something by mastering those games. I knew people who easily got back to gaming after a year absence. But once they remove that accomplishment idea from their heads, they quit forever just like that.

I am no longer a gamer. I was once no 87 in bf42, no 8 in bf2, one of the top 100 in Starwars battlefront2 and I have a level seventy Gladiator. So what? Even it took me a long time to reach those goals, I can't even put any of those "accomplishments" on my resumate. On the other hand, If I do a voluntary work just for one day, then I can put that on my resumate. Besides, every game, no matter how huge, is going to fade away at some point because technology doubles every 18 month.

what he said was so true, WoW just neutralizes u, and there will come a day when u log in on ur char, and see a lvl "70" hero who u pay $15 a month to have, and whos is wearing some super pwnage armour- but that all is just a bunch of bytes that can be deleted with just a few key strokes and a click. Guys dont play WoW, becauce one day u will realize how much u missed out on, and if u dont start living ur life now,u will be depressed bcuz u put like 2 years of ur life into this.

good thing you broke the discs, and now you have the time to level up in real life to level 80

And when you ding to level 80 in real life. You become a DeathDad and have your own gnome kids KEK!!!

so, is heroin a bad thing then? I mean, it's just some chemical, right? And if someone uses it and finds themselves hooked on it-- so stimulated at a neurological level that it over-powers their will and logic to the point they HAVE to have it-- its still okay? and its okay for the person who sells the heroin to the junkie, right? Just because he knows the heroin will hook the user into coming back again and again, paying for more and more? It's cool, right? Cuz the junkie's in control, right?

Then arent humans any different from animals? So an animal kills a baby and, people say, its just an animal with no intelligence, yet, a human is blamed and put to jail and also sentence to death, why? Because no matter how we look at things, ppl make a choice, and if your addict to something, its not the drugs fault, its the user.
uzimachi1 4 years ago
To use or not to use is a personal choice. The issue, then, is how members of humanity treat each other, how we take advantage of each other for profit. I wish humans were a little more like animals, because rarely do we find abuse, manipulation and slaughter within other animal species as we do in our own. what separates us from lower animals is our intellectual capacity, and humanity is destroying itself because we use our intellect against each other for profit, not survival. Soul-less stuff.
OEP4U 4 years ago
I understand that this man in the video made a choice for himself that he finds a relief in it, but its wrong to blame everything else for it, we must take responsibility and blame ourselves, we cannot say that its a games fault that we ended up worse, we can only blame ourselves for that, cause and effect, thats all there is to it.
uzimachi1 4 years ago
Heroin is completely different from WoW. Your body actaully starts to NEED it in order to funtion propery. Gambling, gaming, sex, eating how the hell are these disorders.
An addiction to something like heroin any other narcotic means you rbody starts to depend on it in order to function properly, if an addict doesnt get heroin they become very ill. Ever heard of detox centers? Look into what goes on at those places. The fact you compared a game to drugs is laughable

Its easy for you to say that you can play it without being addicted, cuz if u wan't to have fun in that game u have to dedicate a LOT of time....

This is fucking stupid. You really think a gaming company that has been in business for about 25 years would suddenly start creating a conspiracy video game? WoW is just a relaxing game to play to escape the world for a bit, while offering a myraid of things to do in the game. You played for all the wrong reasons apparently, it's not a rush to the endgame. What are you going to do now that WoW is gone? Anything that replaces WoW will be just as "addictive" to you.
Sorrowtree 4 years ago
world of warcraft is a game, just like final fantasy, just like guild wars, just like halo 3 or any other video game. It is a way to spend free time and it is your choice whether to let it take over your life or not. World of warcraft is not part of some sinister conspiricy to take over the world. It is a way for blizzard to make even more money by providing a form of entertainment to the public. MMORPG's FPS's RPG's even TV and the internet in general can be addicting as you want it to be.

WoW is designed to make people adicted, to make them feel as good as possible to fork out more money. Why do you think they make you pay subscriptions? Playing it in moderation is a great way to drain stress after a hard days work. Thats it.
