How WoW ruins lives

[92EvilTalon]

WoW..to me is like Evercrack. I never played it. I never will ... but Matt can remember back when I played to much Battlefield. hahaha The good old days. Right now I am playing Lego Star Wars II.

Good ol' days? Damn noobs. The good ol' days were MUD's and MUSH's! I was addicted to MUD'ing back in the day and killed my GPA. I got out of it and will never try WoW or anything like it because I am too competitive and become addicted. It can kill your life as easily as drugs do.

I'm glad I stopped playing it. Last Spring semester I spent more time on WoW than I actually did with school and homework, so my GPA went downhill for that semester but I got a lvl 60 priest in about 2 1/2 - 3 months (I started slowing down after lvl 45. The thing that ended if for me was that my after all that hard work and time wasted, my brother sold all my stuff (armor/weapons/items) and closed the account I was using and gave all the money to his other accounr because he couldnt afford 2 accounts anymore. I was pissed! and still am a little, because now he wants to get that account back. Now for me, I say "screw that game!"

Only game i ever got too adicted to, or games, is Starcraft back in the day and Earth and Beyond for it's short life.

Seen what it does to people, know of one guy that destroyed his life, a mairage and a kid over Earth and beyond actually. Really sad.

My oldest brother whom I live right is playing WoW on the comp behind me. Him and his wife get into so much arguments over this. It's kinda sad, especially when his kids are always yelling and crying (they're 7 and 4 yrs old) around the house.

I know a guy who moved to georgia to marry a girl he met on WOW. She's pretty ugly. The type that would play wow and get married to a dude from WOW. Maybe you get what I'm saying. :O

heh i will just copy/paste it here from my post in MNSC...

I.... am embarassed.. (sp)

lvl 60 warlock, played 110 days thats 2640 hours siting infront of the computer
lvl 60 priest, played 28 days... 672 hours
lvl 60 warrior, played 18 days 432 hours
lvl 45 mage played 5 days 120 hours
lvl 40 hunter plaed 4 days 96 hours
few other characters totaling of at least 200 hours..



thats total of 4160 hours
that is exactly 2 years of full time work... i am an addict.. and ashamed...
I have put back 2 of my business behind and not made any progress due to the game, i am selling one of teh businesses because of the lack of progress it made and expenses.
Second business has racked up late fees for bills and repairs etc etc, i have the money just never found time to actually pay them, didn't have time to go read the water meter to send in to get the bill straightened out.

ALL BECAUSE OF THE GAME.....

its ben 3 weeks, i stoped playing on the 9/27/06 (when i got my first son), in the mean time i took care of all the late bills/payments/licenses etc etc.. some damage has ben done that can't be taken off the record but its straightened out now.. or almost..

GET OUT IF YOU CAN ANY WAY POSSIBLE...


How stupid was i, and still am because i still want to go to the computer and sit down and play the game.. because i want to beat some of the bossess in the game, because i want to get some of the items..

but i will be stronger and won't play WOW!!!

i still want to play.. but like few hours/week but that is the thing, you can't just do that, its the life of being in the guild, you have to make to at least 3 or 4 raids in order to be able to go to the places where you can get the gear to play..

shit there i go thinking about it again.. fawk...

but i will be stronger and won't play WOW!!!
We will be strong together! You have a lot more time played that I do, though I have two 60s, a 51 and 5 in the 20s. The guild I left is all real life friends so I still talk to them about the game and attend their LAN parties, but that's about it.

[Enes]

yeah, i know:(

the reason why i have a lot of played time is because i was a gulid leader for a long long time.. we had over 500 people and 3 full raiding teams that was doing end game stuff. i spent hours and hours learning new encounters and a lot of server firsts went to our guild, and right now they are still working on finishing Naxx bosses. all other instances BWl, AQ and majority of Naxx is on farm status.

I could probably sell the account but there is always that chance that i have time to play again, i want to try the expansion when it comes out, but i don't want to level up to 60 again so thats one of the reasons i dont' want to sell the acount, i could probably get $1400 easily for it due to having naxx/aq/ geared priest/warlock/warrior.

but yeah.. bad bad bad bad bad
