WOW is a videogame.
That counts.
Maybe I should've titled the thread "Anyone ever lost a friend to WOW?"
Or do you mean the Acid going around, never mind.
Either way, that sucks man.

yes and no - i think they're a phase, usually a really ugly one almost similar to a drug addiction, but they eventually climb out of their trance sooner or later. WoW is garbage, the matrix has them

World of warcrack has taken many of my friends.
My drug is better than theirs. I don't do it when it's not fun. Which is usually about an ounce worth.

My buddy's pushing three and a half bills.
Plays a lot of fucking video games.
The shame of it is, he's fucking fantastic at any game you can name.
If you've been playing for a year, he'll pick it up, and a day or two later whup your ass.
He's also a great piano player, and good with computers
It's too bad all his skills are sedentary.

I once took part in an attempted "intervention" for a guy was up missing classes and shutting himself off from the world because he was addicted to Final Fantasy online. He looked pale and malnourished, and he ended up flunking out of college.

Not to derail this, but if I ever have a drug problem, I really fucking hope no-one tries an intervention.
My reaction would definitely be violent.
I could understand pulling someone aside to have a word with them, but getting a whole bunch of people together?
I think that's a serious act of disrespect.

well back when sega genesis came out with Mortal Kombat, I used to whoop everyones ass just by pressing every button .But with the new game systems these days, it requires more strategy, which is really awesome, but not when it comes to XBOX, cause thats when my manna crumbles

Well, it wasn't all confrontational. It was basically a bunch of coming by and trying to get him off the computer for a while and hang out.

Ya, that's why I'm not a big fan of fighting games. It's so easy to just get lucky.

Could you be a bit descriptive of his reaction to the intervention, for my entertainment's sake?

The kid I was talking about can do a 100% combo in mk... 3?
You wouldn't get to do anything for the entire fight.
He'd hit you once, then beat you to death on screen for like, 2 minutes, and you'd give the controller to someone else.

He basically shrugged us off and continued playing his video game and eating cold pizza.

I was one of those people who was addicted to online games when I was younger. It started with an online game called UO. I dropped out of highschool to play it, quit my job, and broke up with my girlfriend. I stopped hanging out with my friends and played the game 12-18 hours a day, 7 days a week. After that game it was Asherons Call, Counter Strike, Shadowbane, and WoW... all the games took over for a while where I would go into hiding and do nothing but play the games until my eyes wouldnt function anymore, but nothing comes close to how much time I spent on UO.
I dont regret anything, because I had a lot of fun on those games, but they are like drugs, and can consume a persons life just like drugs. I still get urges to play them again (10 years after UO)... Last night I convinced myself to to install counterstrike and play it. WoW sucks in comparison to other games...
When Darkfall comes out, I am afraid I will definitely play it a lot... which is why I hope it comes out in like 3-4 years so I have time to finish school before throwing my life away again.

I'd be willing to bet there's an parallel version of this topic on a video game message board concerning people who do drugs. Except their's is a lot more closed-minded. And everyone's 12.

I introduced WoW to a very close friend of mine. We had a great time playing WoW with each other. Eventually he switched to a different server. I continued to play casually. He started playing more. He eventually dropped out of school and does not have a job. He just plays WoW....all day every day. I feel very bad for him. I wish I never introduced him to the game. Hes headed nowhere in life.
