ORIGINAL: SavageFaerie I am anti WOW. When I was living with my daughter and her partner, they got started on it. Her partner had a very successful business in a specialized field. He got so caught up in it that he lost a $70K contract and eventually got evicted for not paying rent on the insanly huge house he was leasing. The two of them did nothing but play the game, stopped fixing healthy meals which were the norm, stopped shopping, ignored the kids, ignored financial responsibilities. I guess it was a wicked case of addiction, but it ended up ruining his reputation for someone that was top in his field. I have never been interested in RP games, I do good concentrating on pogo games LOL But sadly I have seen the effects of WOW addiction. My duaghter now works as a server at a couple of restaurants as her partner cannot get work due to bowing to WOW instead of working on his contracts. So Im a bit biased due to that. While I know people who are addicted to rp games I find it hard to blame the game. Personal responsibility goes a long way in life. My ex played pogo to the point that she would miss meals. I never blamed it on Pogo, I blamed it on her. While it is a shame that your daughters parter had no self control, that is hardly Blizzards fault.
