World of Warcraft Addiction
sel:
Ok so i am still new here but I like your guys forum<,< and I am bored at work so i wanna hear some opinions. Maybe some of you hate online games i dont know.
Anyways i have been playing this online game World of Warcraft (WoW) for about 2 and a half years now, give or take a little. I first started out as just playing the game for fun and leveling up.
Then I join a little guild and we had ventrilo ( a program you use to talk to people online with for free) and blah blah they found out i am a chick. Then like all of a sudden omg shes a girl she is playing this online game la la.
And so then they all started to talk to me about raiding and getting all these items for my character. And then thats when I got sucked in
the Satan of all evil got me addicted to this game like crack. And i always have to have better.
Right now I am in a guild who has killed everything in the game, I even pre ordered the new expansion Wrath of the Lich king, and plan to go stand outside in the freezing cold at midnight ot pick the game up, and even take 2 days off of work so i can "power level" my character.
A part of me really wants to quit, but I don't go out much so this is something I do when i get home from work.
I even get" shakey" if my internet goes out and I cant play wow its like i'm pacing around the house and everything. I could probably sell my character for $1000-$2000.
And another thing is the whole female gamer thing. Its like we are always getting constantly labeled as " omg shes talking to him she must be cybering, or gosh shes an E-whore I wonder how she got her gear, girls can't play games!"
So ya what should I do i dont know lol @_@!!!!!
Maybe this was a little bit of a rant too lord sorry...... :censored:

I've known several guys who had problems with online gaming... back in college it was Quake 2, half my class failed out the semester that was released. But I know a couple now who are so addicted to WoW that they freak out if we're at someone's house that doesn't have a broadband connection. And we're talking college graduates with good careers, families, and nice homes, so it's not like they are escaping a terrible life by playing the game.

A guy at work plays WoW. He's been trying to get me to play... but I know I'll be addicted, so I won't try it. >:D
I used to play a MUD nonstop about 9 years ago (pre-WoW days, all text based Multi User Dungeon for all you young peeps). Very addictive.

Welcome to the forum.
WOW is crack....I been on for about 2 years now, and it's hard to walk away from. My current sub ran out yesterday, and I'm committed to staying off for awhile. Sadly, I spent about 2 hours playing Warcraft3 last night to get a "fix" :lol
I think the # of girls playing games increased a lot in the 90's with some of the consoles, but today, it not that strange.
Especially on WOW. The leader of my guild is a woman, and there are tons on there (at least they say they are women).
:dunno
