A warning. I used to earn £60,000 per year in an executive role. I bought WoW 7 months ago and now I'm on the dole. I used to eat good meals with my wife, now I eat pizza from the cheap shop on my own and she has left me. I lived on the streets for a month because my rent went on the game..

Can I have your epics?

Story: When games stop being fun

These games are like anything else: if not in moderation they can be bad for you. If you balance life and gaming, then there isn't a problem.
I have someone in my life that is seriously addicted to World of Warcraft. I couldn't find a place to talk about it, so create one called World of Warcraft Widows. It is at:
http://games.groups.yahoo.com/group/WOW_widow/
Please feel free to share your stories about how someone addicted to this or other games in your life, and how it is affecting your relationship. It is NOT a place to flame games, per se, but a place to vent, share stories, and offer comfort when needed.


Don't think I'll be getting it as I have enough trouble with Oblivion

I've just read some of the comments/stories on there- very frightening :eek:

Will definitely not be getting this
