WoW has destroyed many relationships and lives. For few its their escape from reality. A place where they feel like they can fit in or become a part of something bigger and better.

I don't think it's specific to WoW. People prone to addictive behaviors who happen to find WoW can definitely be a problem, but if not WoW, those people would find something else.

Oh me too. But sadly, I've also lost friends to other addictions as well. The pattern is the same for all of them.

'slong as people remember its a game, 'sall good.
But people cross that line alot, and its rather sad.
I play alot of games, and for a while I zone out on them.
But after a while I get bored and move on.
Luckily they keep makin' new games for me to play when bored. ^_^
