But if you don't see the appeal of the game chances are you never will its not something you can get into a such unless you have a vague interest in RPGs already.

I used to play it with my ex (she still plays) but when we split up I couldn't justify the subscription fee as I now have way more interesting things to do with my time.
2 of me mates play it untill silly hours of the morning too. they tried to get me to buy it but i was having none of it.
i mean it got to one point i would go round and theyd be sat in the same room on laptops playing the game and doing nothing else.
But now one goes to uni and the other has a job so they dont play as much now

my bf's one and only mate rarely comes round anymore cause he doesnt even get so much as one conversation out of him. He sits in the corner on pc playing the game. When he does come round now, Its normally to see me or because ive asked him to! Even he has told him that he is playing excessively

my bro used to play WOW a lot, although nowadays hes down to like 3-4 hours a week which is fair enough lol.
he sounds like so many people i know, or used to know before they barracaded themselves in their rooms.
i'd be looking for a better partner. unless you have something badly wrong with you there is no reason why you should have to put up with a gamer. you deserve a man who gives you attention.
she was a real hottie too! she cheated on him numerous times and he put up with it, but using his computer was the final straw lol.
personally i think many gamers who play for hours each day are using games in a similar fashion to how many people use drugs and alcohol. in moderation no harm is done and its perfectly healthy, but daily addiction is an escape from the real world, a way to avoid problems and get you though each day without facing up to the issues in your life. it isnt healthy.
and you put up with that?

gamers will always have a game to play. if it wasnt another WoW it would have been something else. some of my gamer mates have been playing games 12+ hours each day for more than 20 years now. some of them have given up their jobs so they can play more. i was a gamer when i was a kid, but i grew up as most gamers do. if people are still gaming every day at 18-21 then they are very probably lost causes. once they lose contact with their real friends they are in real trouble.
its only fantastic and popular with gamers, in the same way heroin is only fantastic and popular with smackheads. just because there are millions of other people with the same problem it doesnt make it right. there are millions of heroin users but that doesnt mean it is healthy to sit in your room jacking up all day.
i have a friend who dumped his girlfriend of 3 years because she started to play test drive 3 on his computer which he said was "interfering with my life".

yeah a forum addiction can serve the same purpose, its still escapism. what are you trying to escape from? for me it is work, which is why 99% of my FF usage is 9-5 mon-fri.

The difference with the forum would be you can go on and off whenever you like, would it really stop you from doing something? whereas with the game its like you cant get off it and you have to be playing and progressing forward thriugh the levels all the time.
Im in trouble anyway cause bf has seen thread and isnt impressed with me 'be-littling him'. He since hasnt spoken to me and has been ignoring me with in a right mood all day. He has un-installed and cancelled his account....... trouble ahead.

my brother plays it. I have never, and never will.
and whiterose i can completely sympathise with you. its a life-sucking addiction. the worst of WOW is that you have to interact with other people and work with them to acheive goals, and because of the enormousity of the game and the quests, it actually replaces people's real lives - you dont miss talking to people IRL because you do it in-game, i think.
Same with a few other games like that, such as second life, runescape, etc :shakehead:
Having said that, i do enjoy playing PC games, just that there should be a balance between them and normal life

It's either gonna spell some serious withdrawal symptoms, or he could take it like I did and feel completely liberated and actually appreciate your interference in due course.
And if he doesn't, well, by the looks of the above posts of there's plenty of other guys to choose from
