WoW Addiction Story (WoWS) form
No More
Well, I have to end this. I started playing as an orc hunter, got him to 70 then WoTLK. Leveled up a priest to 80, then a paladin.... then a shaman. Took my paladin to the alliance and back to horde when 3.3 came out I got my GS from 3.4k-4.8k in two days of almost non-stop playing. My grades went from straight A's to D's and F's. Im also not on my school swim team this year even though its my favorite thing outside of WoW. I just canceled my subscription, I uninstalled it and got my mom to hide the discs. I am so happy that I am almost done with this game. Anyone that is thinking about quitting I can say one thing, do it.
WoW.. all I am thinking of...
Hi,
I am 15, and I'm playing the game for 3 years now...
When i started the game, at the age of 12, it was a really fascinating new world for me. But i've been a casual player at this time, because i had better things to do (such as going out with my friends). I played every day for 2 hours, not more.
I started, because my friends all played the game. In the breaks, even in my free time they've been talking about this game. I started as a Night Elf warrior and I really enjoyed sitting in Stormwind as a lvl 24 character.
Everything was all right till i turned 14. Most of my friends stopped playing, I didn't. My grades in school went really bad, i repeated twice a form.
But I havent cared about it.When i came home, first thing i did, was logging on WoW.
So I played from 3 pm till 3 am. then i went to bed and woke up at 6.
I tried to stop at this time, because it was really bad for my health.
I went pale, and lost 15 kg of weight, so my weight was 45 on 1.75 metres.
My parents didn't really cared about it, only at the start because my grades went bad. Later everything was fine, because i did my homework, while playing.
At this time i played till 70.
I turned 15.
At the beginning of Wotlk I started a tauren DK. I enjoyed it.
It took 3 days from 55-80.
I didn't went to school at this time, because I didn't want to miss the beginning of naxxramas.
Later on, when ulduar came out, i raided almost every day.
Then on Patch 3.2 i definetely played too much...
It has been my holidays, and my parents wanted to go to thailand.I just told them I don't want to so I stayed at home.
I calculated everything for playing. with 4 hours sleep i had loads of time.
I got the t9 set in 3 weeks.
Now: I still cant stop to play, but the good thing is that my computer is broken, so i cant play. But I still managed to kill the first to bosses of Icecrown Citadel. Thanks for reading.

going to do it
I started playing wow about 2 years ago. I had just graduated college and, do to a sagging economy, was working as a cook. Some friends of mine convinced me to try it and I was hooked. I tried to convince myself it was a cheap hobby, cheaper than going out to the bars at least, and that I would quit it after a little while. This was a mistake as I continued to play more and more as the months whore on. I completed my first year of law school this year and did just enough to get by in my classes. I was new to the area and totally blew off establishing a social life. I played wow constantly in any free time I had. I blew off working out and picked up smoking. Worst of all I let relationships with old friends and family slip. About a month ago I quit and have not played since. I am staying with my parents for the summer to work and save a little money on rent. This is good because I left my computer with wow (and my authenticator) in storage 5 hours away. I do miss it, but my biggest worry is in when I go back to law school next semester. I will have the temptation sitting in front of me. Not to mention I do not have many friends up there because I was such a recluse. Hopefully I can break the addiction over the summer and replace it with positive healthy activities.
quit before its too late
I have been playing Warcraft for almost three years. At first, I played just to keep in touch with my brother who went to college out of state. Slowly but surely, we started to playing more and more often with each until WoW eventually took our lives away. I eventually had to drop out of college because I was failing horribly. My life was so pitiful that I planned my day around my WoW time. I even skipped work just to make sure I would have time to finish a raid. Now, I am planning to go back school. I'm still playing WoW more than ever; I'm hoping that I can get it out of my system?!? Bottom line is that as innocent as WoW seems as first, its NOT like any other video game. Blizzard has really done its research and has made this game as addictive as possible. Quit WoW ASAP before its too late.
School
Wow is really taking too much time in my life, and really interfering with my school work. I know I can get better grades in school if i stop WoW, but I always seem to forget about that and play Wow anyways ):
