Wife left me because of WoW
From begin want to appologize for any grammatical mistakes, english is not my native language.
Started to play WoW in spetember 2007, it was so fascinating that quickly became an addiction.managed in 4 years of playing to gather 629 days played time..addon Altoholic shows it :s .Anyway, in begin my wife was playing too, she liked that game also, there was many many weeks when we was doing nothing except playing and sleeping, now i cann't even remember in real time how many years/months back it was..was during BT days..back in TBC. Sucks that my time measure is tied to wow expansions...
During Naxx in wotlk she stoped to play because she got bored of it and just stoped. Me...rolled all classes to max level,after made 10x characters on one realm (limit pre realm) rolled on other realm and did 10 x horde to max level also...cataclysm came few months ago, on the moment when i gave account details to an ingame friend and uninstaled game from PC there was 19 x level 85.
for almost 1,5 years wife was begging me to stop playing and get back to life. All her words, warnings about divorce, crying, she even broke up PC, took a new one on next day, had no effect on me. She was kind of invisible for me, not only her, i was going to bed with thoughs like : what combo is more viable for my main toon, how to improve my healing in raids, how to get more achievment points, where to get more golds etc etc..
And guess what, 4 days ago she said that it's the end of our relation and nothing can change it more. in 4 years of wow my longest break from game was hours when i was sleeping, now i unninstaled game , burned discs, gave account to other person and only getting close to PC if she aint around. Afraid it's to late tho..Now i don't know if i'll be able to win her back, but if around here are people who still play that game and somehow found themselves in similar situation as me, take this in consideration
I still want to play
I haven't played WoW in about a year.
I heard the opening theme today, and felt the absolute NEED to play again.
Fortunately the client takes about a week to download, so that prevents the gratification so I can move on to do other things.
I understand now when people say that even though someone may be sober for 10 years, they are still an alcoholic.
I'm moving to a new job soon, my first job, the one with the degree I almost didn't get due to playing WoW instead of studying. I'm afraid that if I start playing, I'll not have any time to pack and line up housing and so on.
I'm afraid 10 years from now, I'll still crave playing.
I want my son back!
I lost my son to WoW! My son started playing WoW about 4 years ago. He did not have many friends and the game seemed to make him happy. Our home is in PA. My son met someone in FL on the game and seemed to fall for her. She broke things off a few months ago. My son dropped out of college. I stopped paying for him to play the game because he was not working or going to college. He moved out in the middle of the night two weeks ago. He now lives in OR with others that he plays the game. My heart is broken. I am getting re-married in two days and my son is across the country playing a video game. I miss him so much. I feel like he is throwing his life away for fake relationships. How can I get him back with his family who loves him? How am I going to get married without my favorite man with me?
How its addicting.
The biggest illusion in the game is that you have
control in the building oy your character. YOU DONT
The game is heavily manipulted by WOW. Your
character is toned down at some point in the game.
The battlefields are toned down as well. Thats why
weeks go by and your side sucks.
After things start to suck you have have 2 choices
to make. Start a new character or play all the
levels out hoping your character will revive. It
doesnt and you start another character. This repeats
over and over.
Your chasing a carrot on a stick. Hard core drug
addicts call there addiction "Chasing the draggon".
Get it?
I want my brothers back
I would like some help regarding the WOW and addiction. I would like to help my siblings understand the WOW is an addiction. I feel alone as in the only person in our family that really cares enough to do something. My parents ignore it or are in denial please can someone reach out to me that has a loved one in or is the loved one in this predicament. And please for the users of WOW this addiction affects your family in a way you may never understand we love you guys and want you to be a part of our lives and are tired of waiting for Raids to end so we can see your faces for 5 minutes while you eat only to have you take your plate and disappear. It hurts and we love you....
