Ok...

That's like telling people never to eat cheesecake because you've known people who ate it and got fat, or sick, or worse, they liked it and went back for seconds.

A game does not ruin a person's life. Addiction and neglect of all but that which you are addicted to is what ruins lives. Look at an alcoholic. His addiction did not make him who he has become, rather it allowed the true person hiding inside to surface without inhibition.

So I venture to say that people who allow themselves to turn into "perpetual hermits who are in immense denial" were not "good people" to begin with, and marriages that end over a game were founded on false promises and illegitimate vows.

Unless you are strapped to a chair and forced to play WoW at gunpoint it is your choice to play it or not.

Free will. It's a beautiful thing.

I LOST MY BEST FRIEND TO CHEESE CAKE! *bawl*

Well, like anything potentially addictive, it's a "do it at your own risk" thing. not everyone who takes that first sip of beer becomes an alcoholic - not everyone who plays World of Warcraft gets divirced when his wife starts bangign the mailman because she hasn't gotten laid for three weeks while her husband tries to get his elf to class 45.

You know, you just have to weigh the risks.

It's true. I've seen it happen. It's not a pretty way to go.

Amen. Case in point, I've never been drunk and I've never smoked, because I know my propensity to take it to an extreme since my grandfather was an alcoholic and a chain smoker who eventually died of lung cancer.

Alliance is fine by me. I have an alliance char named Forthehorde on one server! lol

I, on the otherhand, have drank and smoked on several occaisions, and am not addicted to either. I play WoW on a semi regular basis, and i figured it'd be more fun if i didnt have to weed through parties of dumbasses to find a decent group. Hence the thread ;D

Drew -you're not gonna finish the album anyway, dude.. come on ;p
