I played World of Warcraft for over 2 years, Was in one of the first guilds to enter Molten Core, Black Wing Lair and ony. I had all 3 tier sets of epics for my shaman, had a hand of rags (legendary weapon) that took over 13 months to finish building. I was in hard. I decided to quit when my daughter started walking, and have not regreted it at all. I do miss the friends I made in the game, but I could not punish myself by going back in lol.

I have no idea what the hell you mentioned in the first part, but its cool to see that some people can just get off for good.

lol. Blackwing Lair, Molten core, onyxia are raid areas in the game, they were origonaly designed for guilds of 40 people to defeat. There are many more of them now, after the expansion pack they changed the ammount of players needed to 25, which makes it a hell of alot easyer to get enough for. But I have no interest in going back, I am afraid I would get sucked back in again

Eventually he will run out of money, friends, etc. and he will realize he spent enough time playing a game to have accomplished some great things..except that he was playing a game. Here...ask him.."In 10 years will anyone care that you defeated the ______ (insert target here.) The asnwer is no. I wonder who is paying for the classes he is skipping. The money has to come from somewhere. If it was my kid, and I was paying for his classes/housing/food....and someone tipped me that he was screwing his dad...I'd cut him off. Sometimes you gotta fall....to learn how to stand. It's fine to spend your life blowing it on a game...who am I to determine your happiness....however... it's NOT fine for me to have to pay for it.

The game is vastly different now, anyway. It's become a game for attention seeking teenagers who spam the channels and want to go cyber with their e-boyfriend elf in the tram.
That, and the horde got pallies, the alliance got shamans, and they're all about to get deathknights. Talk about ruining the lore
One of my college friends is so addicted to World of Warcraft that he plays non stop averaging 20 hours per day. He has even stopped going to class, stopped hanging with his friends (including me), and does absolutely nothing but play WoW all day. He still makes time for his girlfriend on weekends but I am wondering how long that will last. I have tried to play WoW 3 times but just could not see what all the fuss is about.
How many hours is normal to average playing WoW?
That sounds like below average for WoW.
The average gamer plays video games up to 10hrs a week.

Wrong! He will not run out of money.
because he will sell a character.

I have a friend who did the exact same thing. He decided not to go to college, just because he wanted to play WoW.
I started playing on and off, but for the most part I don't see how its so addictive.
