Addicted to World of Warcraft

[Jesse66126 4]

I started playing WoW again and got hooked. Now i'm busy trying to form my own army of darkness. 5 characters contrrolled seemlessly with a Key Clone.

From what I've seen and heard, Emily is addicted to WoW too.

haha, yes, yes I am. WoW is addicting! I've been roleplaying on Wyrmrest Accord.

Better to be addicted to games than drugs.

I most definitely agree, I've known some people addicted to drugs......

Altho sometimes getting addicted to games can be bad. You can lose grip of reality. and go insane if you don't play. It happened to me once till i got bored.

 

So be warned Emily and Jesse. Take it easy. Take breaks and go for a walk once every hour or so and try not to think about the game so much when your going for a walk.

I had an addiction once. Then I told her to get the hell out of my house.

Meh, I'm one of those casual gamers, who play a LOT, but i still have 100% sense of reality. I do have those "what if" moments, though.....and i don't get angry at all when playing, just mildly annoyed, and that's even rare. I now feel more alert, and my hand-eye coordination is better. And now since some games are really informative on real life events (I'm not talking about games that blend reality with fiction.), you can learn a lot of things in ways that are more fun then just reading it out of a book.

 

I played WoW, too (Bobroberts on Shandris). I stopped playing around a year ago I think at lvl 65. I had lots of fun, but the subscription seemed to steep for me to keep up at the moment, so I switched back to my Runescape account. I think that RS has better holiday events, and i like the miscellaneous items they have. The 6$ a month helps in contrast with WoW's 15$ a month. My only gripe about RS is the movement.

 

I do take walks from time to time, and I read as well as draw. I also play instroomentz, so I seem okay to me.

I agree. Although i do find myself playing TF2 for hours on end and dont eat....I dont eat anyways lol and im lean enough to not really need walks. I feel the same way tho, just dont over do it......as im sure I will in college until crunch time comes along

I have a level 65 warrior.

I live with two other people who play WoW. We all share the same internet connection on seperate computers.

I have a 54.0 Mbps wireless reciever in my room on my pc. Which is a windows sp2 1.80 Ghz with 512 MB of Ram.

 

WoW runs just fine on this pc with sometimes 15 fps, and roughly a 100 ms to 300 ms latency depending..

 

I don't play it that often but I get to hear about all the fun pvp issues from my friends. I can't say I've ever been addicted to WoW.. but every now and then I get a whim to play it. =p.

 

I don't understand how people can be addicted to WoW because I don't see the fun in grinding, or doing several instances to get gear. I mean... it just seems like too much work to me. I like my console games. Nice replayability values, no subscription free, and no lag. <3
