World of Warcraft.. anyone play?

[Blue_Frog]

heh -- i used to play WoW with my ex -- last time I played was briefly years ago when if first came out (dark elf, night elf, I've started combining all the 'evil' elves in my head from too many games, and its been too long since i last played to really remember ). Really, I only played to collect cats and robotic squirrels and things, so my higher level friends would go to the auction houses and get me cats. I was never a really serious player anyway

Now, give me a Final Fantasy game, and I'm sucked in for days -- but at least theres an ending. Its these MMORPG* games that dont have an ending to them, that help to keep people playing.

The problem was that the ex was out of work almost for the entire 4 years we were together, so he stayed home and levelled up characters (and sometimes mine as well), as well as playing many many other games. I suspect sometimes that video games contributed to him not really looking for work, but it was only one of the problems i suppose.

Don't get me wrong, I love playing video games, and me and my current BF spend time playing different things together. However, if the video games become the entirety of someones life, then thats a problem.

Theres a term called "Gamer Widow" - refers to losing your sig.oth to the game -- http://www.gamerwidow.com/


* MMORPG = Massively Multiplayer Role Playing Game for anyone that wasn't sure
