Why World of Warcraft sucks (and ruins your life)
categoria: english, lists
World of Warcraft is the most played MMORPG (massive multiplayer online role playing game). It’s also knows as WoW (capitalized letters matter). There are some things you should know about it:
- 15. The real game starts at lvl 60. You can get to lvl 60 in about 3-4 months: $ 49.99 (box) + $ 41.97 (3 months fee) = $ 91.96. Isn’t it too much to start playing?
14. You can never say: I’ve won. WoW never stops, it’s a fact that there’s not an ending.
13. The best things in the game happen by chance. It is irritating.
12. Digital characters cannot make virtual sex.
11. Servers are full of lamers.
10. Linux is not a supported platform.
9. It is not intended for short-time fun: WoW needs you play for at least 1 hour without interruptions everytime you log in.
8. WoW not only steals your money, it steals your time. Want to be a good and respected player on your server? Prepare not to sleep for months and months.
7. Unless you play at the beach, you can’t get tanned while playing WoW, and no one likes “death-white” faces.
6. The more you play, the less you can practice sport, the less you can practice sport, the fatter you get (probably).
5. Yes, that’s a hidden undead rogue! And yes, your eyesight has diminished after intensive playing: you need glasses.
4. After enjoying your perfect control (with a mouse) of your character, ask yourself what carpal tunnel syndrome is.
3. You just can’t stop playing WoW: it can be is addictive.
2. Killing that last monster could lead you to be late at your night date. Monster owned, (wo)man of your life gone.
1. It’s not about your free time, it’s about your life: the more you play WoW the less you can live your life.

Im so sorry your life was ruined, but this sounds like a personal problem between yourself and Mr. Selfcontrol.
I have to get back to WoW now. I have a big date tonight and want to level up and smoke a joint before I go.
Bye.
13 marzo 2006 alle 08:47
That’s your personal problem. WoW is one of the best MMORPG there is, and people will continue playing it, even with these troubles.
13 marzo 2006 alle 09:45
hello
13 marzo 2006 alle 12:26
Eheh. Everyone says that’s my personal problem. I’m not addicted (anymore).
And with more than 5.000.000 people playing (and growing), I think it’s not only a simple personal problem, it’s something worse: it’s social.
If you play more than 3 hours a day I think you’re at risk. I’m not saying you cannot play, of course you can, but don’t abuse.
13 marzo 2006 alle 19:40
I agree with you!
I’ve got my brother addicted to it!
He plays 3 hours a day! (minimum)
I think that at this point he’s a nerd!
Go out with your girlfriend and your friends!
See the sun light!
13 marzo 2006 alle 22:57
You are so right! I am a WOW player for 6 months now, and I have to put a stop to it, or say goodbye to my girlfriend
It is very addictive, and wastes huge amounts of time. And, what do you get? Some fun sure, but not like being with people! I am cancelling this month.
14 marzo 2006 alle 01:45
Hi nerds, i want say just this: STOP PLAY WITH THIS GAMES, AND GO TO SEARCH SOME PUSSYS, COME ON, WOW ISNT YOUR REAL LIFE. STOP TO PLAY AND GO TO LIVE.
16 marzo 2006 alle 15:16
I don’t think WoW is a social problem, in fact I think it is a social tool. I have alot of friends on my list that I know in real life. Since we all went to college in different places WoW is the only way we can get together and play.
20 marzo 2006 alle 15:43
Hey all,
Very valid points regarding why WoW sucks… but for us gamers, it’s perfecrt. A game that never finishes, a game that after 60 lvls of intense gaming you realise that up untill now, you were training! And i also have to agree that you have to make it a point to keep up with your social life… or at least stay in the sun for ten minutes before spending a whole weekend trying to solo maraudon!!
Well, WoW is only 1 game out of thousands that have made ppl forget about the world around us, and after WoW, more will come. So it’s all up to us gamers to make the decision.
Game on ppl!
20 marzo 2006 alle 19:06
Truth is, WOW just isnt that fun, especially compared to other games, and especially some other MMO’s, and that’s not even taking into account lag. I gave it a good try, played for about 4 months, just because my friends play, but I cant anymore. It’s boring and repetitive. I mean really, kill monsters, do quests, level up…blah, blah, blah. B-O-R-I-N-G. I think I’ll just run on my treadmill. It provides the same entertainment and is better for my health. Wow is Pointless too. What happens if you die? NOTHING. I don’t understand how it can ruin someone’s life though, I mean you’d actually have to WANT to play it for that to happen.
20 marzo 2006 alle 23:27
If you didn’t have a social life before WOW you wouldn’t have one during WOW
and the illusion of WOW seems like it made you think you did…
I have no social change since playing wow i still go out ALL the time..
You may need to learn something called TIME MANAGEMENT.. it may make the game more enjoyable as well..
21 marzo 2006 alle 12:32
hmm, sounds like the perfekt game for me!
i have no girlfriend and i dont care! my life is my work and in my spare time i also like to mess around with computers.
but why am i not getting addicted to that shitty game?
i played it from the very beginning in EU, have managed to get two lvl 60 chars, but i havent played it for weeks - and still am paying for it…
damn!
o.
ps: lvl 1-60 takes 3 weeks, not 3 months
21 marzo 2006 alle 22:34
[...] Well, if somehow you are viewing this webpage and think Warcraft sucks, Pasquale Borriello has blogged a list of reasons for you. [...]
26 marzo 2006 alle 18:19
This is rubbish … I have a girlfriend, go out 3 times a week and hold down a long-hours job at a firm. I have a very busy life.
When I get home, i want to do something mind-numbing so I can relax. WoW or CS:S is that fix - it’s like all things .. all in moderation…
I have a feeling that, with you, if it wasnt WoW it’d be something else - coke, phone sex or overpriced graphics cards.. something is always going to “ruin” your life- if you let it . Dont be such a baby, get a spine and stop sobbing.

Another reason it sucks, is because the interface. You click a button, that clicks a virtual button, that swings a sword. Its much more fun with a wooden post, and a baseball bat in real life.
28 marzo 2006 alle 18:42
Offline, have a loving wife that I shower with affection and spend time with each day. I have a cute little cat that I play fetch with every day. I read a book every two weeks, I’m teaching myself piano, and I hold down a full-time job.
Online, I’m a well-respected friend and mentor. With one character, I belong to a guild that I go raiding with 2-3 times/week (and I’m VERY glad that we haven’t exhausted everything). My other characters? Enjoying the levelling process; instances played in new rolls, quests completed with new tactics…y’know, all the things that you think isn’t part of the game. It’s vastly different, but it can still be fun. Just because you’re killing a trogg, a devilsaur, or Edwin VanCleef doesn’t mean you aren’t as having as much fun as, say, downing Onyxia or Ragnaros.
And I manage to do all of that around a sleeping disorder that forces me to sleep much more than average.
If you can’t manage your time and you can’t exercise some self-control, then, no, you probably shouldn’t pick up any hobby that takes a lot of time. If you can’t play for less than an hour at a stretch, don’t play if you don’t have at least two hours. If you have a date that night, and are worried that the game might make you late, don’t play the game. If you think your money is best spent elsewhere, then go and spend it. If you want cybersex that badly, well, yes, you may as well leave the game, download some porn, and hop in a chatroom. And, if you want a world that isn’t full of “lamers,” well, good luck to you; leaving WoW won’t change the fact that we’re all stuck on earth. But, if you can go cold turkey and cancel your subscription, then why can’t you simply not play for one day? Get your priorities in order, and make your decisions from there. That’s not a problem with the game; that’s just how people live their lives. If 5,000,000 people think that WoW is the best way to spend a portion of their time and money, then they’re going to do that; nobody forces them to do so.
As for the last point, the more you play WoW the less you live your life…well, that applies to everything. The more I work, the less time I spend with my wife. The more I spend time with my wife, the less time I play with my cat. The more I play with my cat, the less time I spend reading. The more time I spend reading, the less time I have to talk with my friends…etc. There are 168 hours in a week. Learn how to use them wisely.

WoW may be great,but it’s A LOSS of money (especially this) and ends up being boring.Just kill monsters,do quests,level up,etc.If it had some of graphic aventure,was closer to W3 (more strategy) and/or was less expensive or free,I’d like it.
And I love the Warcraft universe (I’ve the Warcraft RPG),especially the night elves and I WoW think graphics are cool,but I’d rather play REAL RPGs with friends around a table and dice than waste time and money with that crap.
You cannot be more right about the virtual sex.Those elven females;at least
4 aprile 2006 alle 17:01
If i can say what i think, i think youre absolutely right. Playing Wow is one thing, but talking about Wow the 6-7 hours youre at school or work and watching “movies” from the game with people showing off their fancy stuff… Thats just so damn lame! I know a lot of people who are addicted to Wow, playing all their freetime, and trust me, they have no freetime, because they use it to play.
And the game looks like shit too! Why do you have to buy that good new computer, when all you’re going to use it for is Wow.
Get a life!
8 aprile 2006 alle 00:17
Nuisance is right. Last night, I hit some kid that got too close to my lawn with my ole’ Easton bat and it was probably the most fun I’ve had in over 6 years. RL > game. Remember that.
8 aprile 2006 alle 02:39
This post should read, “Why post’s like this shouldnt leave your mind”. Get some friends to tell this shit to loser, its not WoW’s fault you have no friends; that would be yours for being such a weird recluse whilst playing. Now stop playing daoc and jacking off and go to a party. Either that or you did that, and now your all emo’d up over some bitch thats running all over you. Bottom line. WoW>you uninstall and don’t play. gg
PS. If your a fgt in real life WoW doesn’t count as an excuse.
8 aprile 2006 alle 07:23
Wow…lol…i really cant say anything else than : you’re absolutely right. But um..here it goes, I was addicted once. Not to WoW, but to War Craft 3. I used to play from about 3-9 am. lol. I really had a problem. I usually hasd my mind completely off (not because of the time. I’m used to my schedule), I was losing friends, etc. Untill finaly i lost my disks and was never able to play again. Then I got WoW, which i really hate because i used up all my money to get it and create an account, which was probably stolen. But guess what! The fucking WoW site and staff did’nt help me recover it, i just got automatic responses to all my e-mails saying that I better handle such a problem in their site. so…I got really pissed off, and now, that i dont have any sort of games to ruin my thinking, I realize that I was really ruining my life. You only have one life! You have to enjoy it all you can! And I still cant believe what would be of my life if i still had those games. Im just a kid! Lol i’ve failed one class, at least, every year in middle school, because of these games. Sometimes it isnt about self control! Sometimes its inevitable. (well…for me it was)

( 14 Tommorow the 9. April 
)

So now ive stopped..Feels great… Ive got time for my Familly now and other stuff… Playing wow is maybe fun sometimes..Got some great memories but over-all… Wasent worth it… Its a shame i beginned at it in the first place……
MORE in life then wow… How do i get a Girl friend and stuff with wow… How when i unstead of Going to a party and Have some fun with ya IRL friends then live in a dark room playing wow ???
I was a shame of say i was gonna play wow when my mom asked me at the morning..

DONT START PLAY IT !!! WILL RUIN YOUR LIFE !!! ( good i stopped ealy so dident ruin mine total ) !!!!
8 aprile 2006 alle 11:35
Oh btw. Write to me Carsten_bonde@hotmail.com about it
What u think about i did
8 aprile 2006 alle 19:22
sounds like it ruined your grammer and spelling as well.
14 aprile 2006 alle 00:30
WoW sucks your social live out.
Thats all I gotto say siriously, dont even start to think about playing it.
18 aprile 2006 alle 18:02
i’ve never been addicted to WoW, but my bf is.
i would like to say he’s gotten better at controlling that aspect of his life.
but i would be lying.
in fact it was better in the beginning, when we first met
now i feel like not only is he trying to escape his life, but me as well.
this may be a personal problem, if he is, but as is character gets closer to level 60 he gets more and more distracted with the game and this happens to many people.
our relationship is our business, but if this happens to many couples then it’s not only our problem, it’s all of ours.
I think that everybody has their own choice whether or not you want to play the game and whether it will control your life
But you must consider the consequences and how this will affect you and those around you before you make that decision

i agree with unintentional, me and my gf started out playing the game together, but as i got further, much like eany other games i began to get bored of it, but she didnt, and now its like the game comes first for her, its like her obligations to her in game friends are more important then real life, it tears people apart.
There are some people who can manage an active social life with WoW, but people with addictive personalities can easily get trapped, and not even see the long term problems that can come of ther game addiction. i mean losing a significant other because of your game addiction is not something to be taken lightly, especially if your relationship was realy good before the game. its a sad thing for this to happen, and i’ve heard a whole lot of stories of it happenning. This is the future of gaming and society, as games get more and more addictive and realistic then it will ruin more and more lives, sad but true…

eq1 ruled in its day, tried eq2 and wow, yes its ez for a person to play 7 hours a day, and 10 on weekends. im glad im done with it. -Because,….its a carrot on a stick, just one more level, item,kill then i’ll be satisfied. Never happens.
and when you finally quit, youll be left with a few good memories, some bad ones, and youll be out 200 bucks, might be ok for a time sink, but seriously, you(or me) could have done something better.
2 giugno 2006 alle 03:55
how can you call this game fun at all!!???
how do you get to lvl 2? kill some [insert generic name here] and collect 5 [insert pointless object here]
how do you get to lvl 3? kill some [insert generic name here] and collect 5 [insert pointless object here]
how do you get to lvl 4? kill some [insert generic name here] and collect 5 [insert pointless object here]
how do you get to lvl 5? kill some [insert generic name here] and collect 5 [insert pointless object here]
how do you get to lvl 6? kill some [insert generic name here] and collect 5 [insert pointless object here]
how do you get to lvl 7? kill some [insert generic name here] and collect 5 [insert pointless object here]
how do you get to lvl 8? kill some [insert generic name here] and collect 5 [insert pointless object here]
even if there is more ot the game than this (which i dont tink there is until higher lvls, but then its still a bunch of bullshit like this) its such a peice of shit, i cant understand why its so addicting to ppl, i played it at my friends a lil bit and it was soooo stupid.
5 of my friends play it and are addicted, 3 are hopelessly addicted, 2 recently quit (they realized how stupid it was, before then one of them played like 6 hours a day). i dont consider the 3 addicted persons my friend anymore (although i talk to them at school).
my friend (lvl 60) told me hes played a lil more than 50 hours, someone in his guild he said has played for over 100 hours, i asked how much better he was than him, and he said “not much”.
WTF IS THAT, someone played over 50 hours more than you and their not even much better than you.
that is the surest of all assuring signs of a shitty game!!!!
GET YOUR LIVES BACK!!!!
18 giugno 2006 alle 11:33
….
Just reading this whole totally pointless fuck1ng post wasted my life.
25 giugno 2006 alle 08:33
Yeah all in all the game sucks anyways. The PVP is shit, classes are unbalanced and its way too repetitive. It’s world of WARcraft not world of go collect vulture gizzards and boar livers craft.
28 giugno 2006 alle 20:30
smash your wow cd right now, for your own sake.
buy starcraft/broodwar instead.
5 luglio 2006 alle 03:59
okay this is just great…
wow videos on “youtube” -= VS =- negative comments here
damn it, should i get WOW or not!!!
11 luglio 2006 alle 23:27
Yah I have to agree. Wow is a stupid kiddie cartoony game that shouldn’t be played at least not for long hours like the game makers want you to do. Don’t get addicted is my advice.
I used to do nuthing but Play WoW and go to work now I just don’t play WoW. I found must more fun things to do with my time.
13 luglio 2006 alle 02:22
My friends started playing WoW months ago… at first they didn’t plan on spending money on it, but I knew that they would… and they did.
It’s sad, they’re addicted to it now, but if I were to tell them that they would probably think that I was trying to offend them and call them bad people… whenever in fact all I’d be trying to do is… well… tell them that they are addicted.
And i have a feeling that their addiction to the game will only get worse before it gets better…
14 luglio 2006 alle 15:43
i recently stopped playing WOW because i saw how pointless it was, but i gotte say i was addicted. now if a friend ask me if he should buy wow and play it because he has alot of free time i say NEVER ,i dont care how good you are controlling yourself its just a very bad idea to even start playing it you never know you could get addicted.
ow and mike hunt if you friend told you hes got a 60 charecter and has only played 50 hours hes lying thers no way someone can get to 60 in that amount of time. my first character took me over 20 days to get 60 thats 20×24 hours you do the math. maybe if you know how to lvl fast then you could do it in like 5-9 days play time. but that still more then you friend has played. most people that are rading high lvl dungeons probley have a playtime for like 80 days its amazing how much hours that is and that they have wasted in their life…
ask your friend to type /played in his chat bar, you will know exacly the amount of time played with that chararcter.
its more likely he has played 50days instead of 50 hours.
15 luglio 2006 alle 07:07
Wow is truly big…EST… But honestly it isn’t GREAT..
There’s a lot of mmorpg that can beat it. In story Example FFXI
But it’s indeed MMORPG can ruin your life if you aren’t careful A lot of people had has their life ruin Cause mmorpg this isn’t a only one person that and mmorpg has ruin their life
MMOPRG ruining a life is a FACT its for you to decide if you will let The game ruin it
Wow is one greatest hits Not one of the greatest MMORPG sorry to say…a lot people play wow cause it doesn’t consumes a lot of time you can solo and complete it in short mount of time. Which makes it good to people who don’t like spend time in MMORPG or don’t have the time
example FFXI one of the life consuming and life ruining MMORPG that has existed in this world
and well lets not forget about 1337tism that are in every game which it makes it ridiculous… honestly and makes games even more pointless to new players
I’ve played MMORPG since I was 12 I’m well. Quite old. now I never let my life ruin by them but I’ve seen a lot of people in each game suffering in their real life cause the game
broken marriages. broken with girlfriends left school get fire out work… family problems est. well good post and sorry about your lost in your life

Wow isn’t a real mans game. Any man that plays is it a big puss. And I hope the world of warcraft headquarters gets blown up!!!!!!
21 luglio 2006 alle 09:16
WoW is the AOL of MMORPGs. Lamers and griefers who don’t know any better will always defend its lameness to the end.
23 luglio 2006 alle 08:47
Stop blaming the game. Why are you posting things like “Wow is a shitty game” and “I wish the WoW headquarters would be blown up”? It’s NOT the game’s fault, it’s YOURS. The game is only addictive if you MAKE it addictive.
Wow is a fantastic game. That’s why people play it, and continue to play it in in the first place. That’s why quitting is so hard. You’re only putting it down to avoid blaming yourselves.
26 luglio 2006 alle 16:40
Wow is catered for addiction. Sure there are claims that you can be a “casual” player but these are absolutely false. If people sat down and played for only one hour a day, they would quit the game in two weeks. What the game is really designed for is hardcore raiders. People who are ready to give 3-4 HOURS a night to sit in front of their screens and clear a dungeon. That is garbage and a waste of life. I know it because I used to do it. And I was on the low end of the spectrum. There were people in my guild who had over 100 days played. 100 days?!?! There aren’t words to describe the absurdity of that. WoW is a boring waste of time from 1-59 and at 60 its just a perpetuating cycle of beat dungeon A, wait 2 months for the slightly harder dungeon B to come out. From a die-hard blizzard fan. Do yourself a favor and never ever pick this game up. Buy something like Oblivion or some other single player RPG that you can walk away from.
27 luglio 2006 alle 15:53
Hi all!
“Do yourself a favor and never ever pick this game up.”
Good idea. I hope most of you realize what Blizzard is doing. WoW is just like a drug.
Dont believe me? Lets see. You buy the game. Then, you get one month for free.
Isnt this like your drug dealer getting you that first little dose for free to get you hooked on? After that, you pay a monthly fee to get your fix.
Seriously people, WoW is not a fantastic game. Get over it. Everquest existed before.
Its the same bullshit.
3 agosto 2006 alle 11:14
you guys should do what I do. play 3-4 months, then take a month break, go back play 3-4 months, then take a month break. believe it or not it helps.
3 agosto 2006 alle 23:35
No matter how long you play, how many hours a week, how many years you’ve been around, how much you raid, what loot you get, what guild you lead, what class you play, what battlegrounds you win, what rank you get, what tradeskill you learn, what boss you kill, what gold you have, what dungeon you solo, what argument you win in general chat, what guild you join, what guild you leave, what dance you /dance, what sweet deal you get in AH, what cross-faction mount you win, what cyber session you have, what superficial relationships you make, what vent you chat on, what computer you have, what tauren you skin, how much popularity you have, what mob you solo, what armor set you show off, what anything anything anything anything anything in game. You could spend the next 5 years playing this game 24/7… But once you walk away from that keyboard, you will never have anything to show for it in real life.
Never.
Life’s too short to spend on lifes simulacrum. And e-peens only impress Night Elf chicks played by 16 year old numbnuts.
Go on ahead justify playing all you want. It’ll eventually hit you.

Everyone playing WoW is a giant loser. It is NOT addicting. Go outside.
4 agosto 2006 alle 06:14
LOSERS! Get a life. Stop playing in a false reality wishing you had “super powers”. Go outside, talk to a girl, take a jog, get laid (Can’t happen through an internet connection, by the way). Stop blaming the game. Get a friggin’ life.
4 agosto 2006 alle 15:05
Wow. (Pun intended.) Such anger among you gamers! My teenage son plays WoW all day, into the night. Am I concerned about it? Sure. I wish he’d read more books, spend time with more friends who actually live in our ZIP code, play sports. On the other hand, he’s not out drinking-and-driving, smoking dope or having unprotected sex with your little sisters, so there’s an upside to this, however small. He’s a nice kid, a B-student (even while playing WoW all throuogh the school year - AFTER homework gets done, btw, so I’m not sure the WoW “ruins your life” unless you didn’t have much of a foundation to your life to begin with. Why complain about an on-line game? Why not take your energy and do something more productive with it?
5 agosto 2006 alle 01:33
wow sucks its boring, has crappy graphix and its also full of lamers
7 agosto 2006 alle 22:50
lol at some of the people here. “OH NOES. YOU CAN’T PLAY A GAME AND HAVE A LIFE AT THE SAME TIME! IT’S A FACT!”
WoW does suck, not because of the fact it costs “91 dollars” to “start playing” or the fact it takes “1 hour” a day to get to level 60 in 3-4 months. Seriously, what else were you going to do with that one extra spare hour anyways? Watch tv or a movie? Cause that’s so much better for you huh?
If you think getting to level 60 in WoW is bad, you don’t want to know about other mmo’s out there where it can take well over a year to reach the top level (like getting 0.5% of a level in 5 hours of straight play, like in Lineage 2).
It is possible to have a life *and* play a video game! how so? Time managment. Make plans with friends and/or family, and in the slots between with nothing else to do, load up the game.
8 agosto 2006 alle 14:07
i think you suck asses
and if i ever know your adress iam gonna killu

FUCKYOU YOU SUCK
love sharon!
8 agosto 2006 alle 16:48
I agree with what most people here have to say to a point. To say a game sucks because of graphics isn’t fair cause many of my personal games are on nintindo and sega. It’s the story that makes good games. Wow has an interesting story if your into fantasy. As a kid, my best friends and I played D&D alot. You got to use your imagination and see so many new things. Now that I’m grown and happily married, I can’t see my friends all the time. In fact, they all live in the states and I’m working in Europe. But wih WoW, we can have adventures together like we did when we were kids. I know,”Go out, see the world.” Well, I am. I’ve been to 57 different countries, swam in all 4 oceans and have spend a night in every time zone. Do u know what I found? Nothing. No dragons over the next hill, no pirates on the horizon, nothing. What I did find was beer, hookers, McDonalds, Starbucks and angry rude people. And those things are the exception. Most places in the world it’s just hookers, rape, murder and war. This sounds negative but I havn’t givin up! I’m still looking for that adventure I dreamed of as a kid. And I believe with all my heart I’ll find it. But, until then i’ll continue playing WoW with my 3 best friends. Just remember, most people who say u should stop playing and get a life, really don’t have one at all.
P.S. I just bought 35 acres of land in northern quebec and am planning a 2 month camping trip with those friends i talked about. I also have 2 lvl 60 Alliance characters!!!

As the reply above says everybody here has a decent point. Some better than others… but nevertheless a valid point from their perspective. WoW is a good game you should manage the amount of time you spend on it. But sometimes it’s not a good idea to play it. It is clearly addictive and if you’re a teenager that’s low in cash (like me) it’s not worth it to spend the rest of that money away on a online game like this (this also applies to adults too). Just don’t base your whole life on a game and you’ll be fine. BTW the graphics aren’t that bad…
8 agosto 2006 alle 23:27
Anything you do in life can and probably is bad for you. Some people scream “get a life” and blame people spending hours behind the game. Then turn around and goto a movie or watch TV zombie? Goto a party and get put in jail for DWI on the way home. Take a trip with your girlfriend but, die in a fiery plane crash. Go see a friend but, get ran over by a semi. Just to visit my girlfriend or goto my friends house I have to get in the car for nearly an hour just to get there. I’m trashing the earth while doing it too! Woohoo!
Whatever the hell you do in life has negatives. Don’t focus on them, live and have fun. Do what the hell you want - if you wanna play WoW then play it. Who cares how much time you spend on it. Its your damn time this is America stop trying to force other people into your ‘vision’ of what a life is. Everyone does what they want and die doing what they wanted. If they we’re happy then thats it PERIOD.
In America we do what the hell we want. The people who complain about it are just people who want this country to watch over what you do and police everything you do on a daily basis. Thank you game Nazi’s!

if u get bored grinding monsters stop for a second walk ride or Hs to the nearest BG and join then use all that kit u got in the instances to kill the enemy, thats the purpose of the game to gwet the stuff u want so that u can be one of the best in the game
if u have a g/b friend then cut some days of WoW out don’t its not like u can’t go pn the nxt day because u didn’t play the last day if the cost is to gr8 either save up and play for a month every so often or dobn’t play
not only that but WoW oppens up the chance to talk to friends in different countries and sometimes meet new ones
15 agosto 2006 alle 14:47
Hi all…… Drum Roll I’ll Admit Im Addicted…… And no After almost 100days of wow played time and countless dollars spent i dont care…. why? because i have a girlfriend and a son i get outside i spend time with them i play wow i run my own business and i go out to pubs clubs etc at least 4 times a week why because im not 15 like your average wow player i know how to spend my time and i know how to do it wisely.
Wow is not social suicide proven fact i have many friends in real life and just as many in wow life and not one of them real or wow are neglected.
so all of you who are rubishing the game thats your opinion but if i can have and do all the things mentioned above and still enjoy playing wow and spending time with loved ones then so can you put your mind to it you will be amazed what you can achieve.
19 agosto 2006 alle 07:15
Ha, half of you people sound like people that’d be in AA. Hi, my name is bill, and i’ve been WoW free for 5 months now, and i feel great!
Dude, its a game, its sole purpose is to entertain you, not take over your life. Granted, this does happen to some people, but thats because they want it to, it’s their life, not yours, stay out of it. Some people do things that make them who they are, and they live their life accordingly, it doesn’t mean they don’t have a life, it means that they don’t do the same things as you. It’s the same in the real world, jocks say that their life is sports, but they don’t go out and tell preps to get a life because they don’t play sports all day, so why should jocks or preps or anyone else criticize the way gamers lead their lives? If you are one of the people who says that WoW players need to get lives, just take a step back, and think about it; These kids (and adults) enjoy playing WoW, thats how they live their life, to tell them to go get a life isn’t the right way to approach them. They do what they want, just go do what you want and stay out of their lives, because they do have lives. Personally, I’ve never even played WoW (i’m a cheap bastard), but i am a gamer who also leads a life full of friends and families and relationships, so this is an objective view here. Why you all have to tell the gamers that they need to get a life is beyond me. Why don’t you just grow up and understand that that’s their view of life.
And for the WoW players that happily balance a family, work, friends, and the game are just good at balancing time.
So I hope you all enjoy living your own lives the way you want, don’t ever let anyone tell you to live it any other way.
19 agosto 2006 alle 10:54
this was poorly written and not funny. why the hell did stumbleupon direct me here?
20 agosto 2006 alle 06:35
WTF? Are you serious? Addicted to a game? Maybe. If your so weak that you can’t turn it off then don’t play any computer games. I played Half-Life and Doom3 for way more than an hour a day. Guess what? I don’t play those games anymore - I finished them, all done.
WoW is just the same except the chat stuff. Here you see folks get involved with other players - one main draws of the game for teens. AOL was the same. Teens wated HOURS apon HOURS in chat rooms. There’s nothing new here.
WoW can get you going as far as raids go. Better be ready to spend some serious time in the chair on some raids. Thats sorta suck IMHO so I don’t do raids (and miss out on some of the game).
If you can’t control how much you play then it’s YOUR ISSUE and YOU need to deal with it. It’s not the game - it’s YOU. YOU need to get ahold on what YOUR doing and control it. Don’t give me some LAME “oh, Blizzard did it - they made the game I like and I can’t stop playing” Sh!t. Wake up and take contol of you little self - lameass.
20 agosto 2006 alle 12:04
ugh, I hate WoW haters… here’s a valid (at least from my point of view) response to most of his reasons:
11. Who’s talking? Anyway, real life is full of lamers, if you dont want lamers, go play single player games
15. The real game doesnt start at 60! Every 60, including me, has numerous alts, grinding experience is a lot more fun than grinding rep/gold!
14. That’s the great thing! WoW lasts forever, it’s cheaper than buying a $50 game a month to keep you satisfied!
13. Not true, pvp doesnt involve any chance, it’s skill and gear.
12. so, you do want to see a human and night elf chick going at it? Just go watch some fantasy hentai or something
10. boo-hoo. Run linux and xp/osx, not that hard, on my mac I run all 3 at once.
9. I log in for less than 1 hour all the time, you can kill a few mobs, get some gold, chat with guildies, check my auctions.
8. Money: $15 a month vs at least $20 a day to go out and be entertained, or $50 a month to buy a new video game that you can “win.” Time: I have a life IRL, it mostly involves other people who play, so I can maintain my relationship ingame and out. Plus, sometimes I just dont play for a week, no one cares if you’re offline for a while.
7. same with everything you do inside, not only WoW.
6. “the less you can practice sport”? sports arent the only thing that make you thin, and I get plenty of exercise along with playing WoW, No one really plays it 24/7, I still have time to do physical things. I’m an avid rock climber, and would rather spend 4 hours on WOW and 3 hours rock climbing then spending 7 hours playing.
5. first of all, this applies to many things, reading in dim light for too long makes your eyesight diminish, every screen does too. And I have 60 days playtime, I’m still 20:20
4. same with every other computer task, you can get carpal tunnel at work! He makes too many generalizations.
3. So are most other video games, caffeine, nicotine, and anti-depressents.
2. Yes, girls do play WoW, and if your GF doesnt, get here to play, running her through an instance earns you about as much as a date does inyour relationship!
1. The more I play WoW, yes, but not everyone who plays WoW can stay on it for more than 7 hours at a time… after about 5 hours, I usually just say I gotta go and quit!
20 agosto 2006 alle 18:39
My wife agrees with you.
Oh and I am playing WoW, right now. Sorry have to go…
21 agosto 2006 alle 01:53
This game is a good game I guess, I don’t play it cuz the only games I play are Madden and that is pretty much never. Anyways, the only people I know who play this game are nerds and have no life. Their life is spent at the computer playing this game. It’s true, if you play this you are a nerd. Get a girl, who doesn’t play WOW.
21 agosto 2006 alle 09:01
stfu n00b go play madden with your fat lady bitch
wow is the shitE and its even worst than ff11
21 agosto 2006 alle 20:00
Guys (and girls…god I hate being pc!),
Reading these posts has given me one of the worst headaches ever. Warcraft only ruins live if you let it. If your friend chooses wow over you, then maybe he just isn’t such a good friend. Don’t blame the game…it has to be pretty good to in order for it to convince people to abandon life’s other leisurely pursuits. I personally have never played, but have watched a few friends play. The game does seem like fun, except I prefer games with an end.
Basically, if you have friends or lovers that appear to prefer this game over you, tell them how you feel, if they still don’t care, don’t be pissed at the game, it is doing it’s job! Be pissed at your friend/lover because his priorities are messed up. In the worst case, just leave them!
Oh, and on a personnal note, if anyone plans on posting comments on a website, the very least they can do is respect proper grammar…seriously people…go read a book! I can barely understand some of the thoughts in certain posts…which is kind of the idea of a post in the first place…convey thoughts… anyhow, just out of plain respect, double-check before posting…because it is really taxing to try and sort out the mish-mash of misspelled words some people try to pass off as phrases. Whew! That felt good!
21 agosto 2006 alle 20:06
Oh, and of course.. the ’s’ at the end of live is missing because of my keyboard’s ’s’ key which is a little touchy. And I am well aware that the appearance of “it’s” is incorrectly used..and should be “its”…sorry about that!
25 agosto 2006 alle 10:50
From a girl that is sitting here seriously contemplating leaving her boyfriend - believe me, WOW is addictive and is causing social problems for people right across the globe. For the gamers out there who crap on about the fact that they don’t have a problem, perhaps spend some time talking to your friends (if you have any left) about how they feel about your gaming and maybe you’ll get the wake-up call that you are in desperate need of.
There is so much more to do with your life!!! Contemplate how you will feel when you are too old to get up on your feet and go for a run, to go to the beach with your friends, to try abseiling or bungee-jumping, or whatever floats your boat, and you look back and think of all those wasted hours, days, weeks, months and years that you spent sitting on your fat arse playing that f%^king game!
LIVE a little bit harder!
26 agosto 2006 alle 14:53
Wtf. Im a 60 mage. When you have WoW who needs a social life? I don’t need to worry about the monthly cost either because I can just kill mobs and get some money.I dont need to worry about food, because I’m a mage. Okay. So F*ck you if you don’t like WoW it’s not our fault. You were probobley a Uber Noob anyways go play a RTS Noob.
29 agosto 2006 alle 04:55
Why WoW Rocks:
15. The real game starts at lvl 1. You can get to know the game and not get bored for about 3-4 months, then you can focus on leveling: $ 49.99 (less at gamestop) (beutiful box) $ 41.97 (If you want to waste your time and get only three months instead of 6) = FUN Isn’t it too much to not play?
14. You can never say: I’ve lost. WoW never stops, it’s a fact that there’s not an ending, which makes it the best because you’ll never loose (You Respawn Retard).
13. The best things in the game happen by chance. It is awestrikingly fun.
12. Digital characters can make virtual sex if you’re a pervert like the man whom wrote this (i’m just plaugerizing)
11. Servers are full of fun people.
10. Fuck Linux and get something new.
9. It is intended for short-time fun: You can chat with people and even have fun typing away!
8. WoW not only steals your uncoolness, it steals your stress. Want to be a good and respected player on your server? Prepare to be nice.
7. Unless you play at the beach, you can’t get tanned while playing WoW. Try getting to a tanning salon. And no one likes “death-white†faces. (Unless your goth or undead.)
6. The more you play, the more you want to run around like your characters and hunt wild bears. You can practice hunting, the less you can practice WoW, the nerdier you get.
5. Yes, that’s a hidden undead rogue~ Horray I can see him!! ^-^
4. After enjoying your perfect control (with a mouse) of your character, ask yourself what you should do next.
3. You can’t stop playing WoW: it is addictive. So is this blog! (It’s fun to make you feel hated ^-^)
2. Killing that last monster could lead you to be miss your death. Monster owned, the man with a knife outside got pissed of waiting and left.
1. It’s not about your free time, it’s about your life:
SO GO AND PLAY WoW, AND QUIT FUCKIN’ PLAYING GAY GAMES OF PING PONG AND SITTING AT YOUR BEAD ALL DRUNK. In WoW you can, and will, see beutiful places, and meet beutiful people.
OWNED, peace, and keep it real you dik

World of warcraft=WOW
I believe 80% of the negative posts above came from lazy broke bastards with no jobs and the rest from kids who can’t get their moms to pay the monthly fees. I feel left out playing boring games and feel jealous and dont want others who enjoy and can afford to play.
Game On.
30 agosto 2006 alle 00:02
And people of teh feminine species also enjoy WoW mmmkay?
30 agosto 2006 alle 00:03
And I watch Soap Operas and there as addicting as this game mmmkay? So dont complain about WoW.
30 agosto 2006 alle 02:50
WoW’s aright played it for about 4 months, couldnt get a character past lvl 40 tho, without getting extremly bored with it, it is repititive 4 sure, the montly fee i could care less, its only 20 bucks. Plus theres way too many idiots and stupid chuck norris jokes for some fukt up reason??? im finished with it. but cheers to who ever’s still havin fun rollin there 15th lvl 60! oh yeah, pardon my shitty spelling, that sux as well.
31 agosto 2006 alle 08:47
wow is the best game i ever played. i couldnt imagine anything better.
i hate wow. its so fuckin expensive, makes addicted and ruins your life.
i ve never played wow in my whole life. and im not going to start, but i dont have anything against wow players.
cant all of you not just play wow or not and leave the others alone
1 settembre 2006 alle 23:25
Holy crap man! You were right on the ball! I’m not addicted anymore either, but it absorbed all of my time. I actually never told my girlfriend what I was doing so she was always like “What are you doing?”. Its called a false sense of accomplishment, BOOYA!
2 settembre 2006 alle 12:24
Lol well i used to play wow, i quit though because it was getting too addictive there are some days when i think “did i do the right thing?” sometimes i do feel like going and playing another month here and there, but i know where that will lead me, and i dont like that path to be perfectly honest.
Most of the people on wow are stupid prick kids that think there all that, nerds to be honest and it pisses me off having arguments with them, there just not worth it one tiny bit.
I used to be so obsessed with mmorpg’s it was a matter of “ill stay up just 5 more minutes tonight” them 5 mins ended up 10 then 20 and so end till in the end you end up staying on it 16 hours a day with absolutely no life.
You become lazy, cant be bothered with anything, forget to brush your teeth now and again, dont shower as much, it destroys your life and like a few people here have said, yes you do have good memories and sometimes you feel like going to play because of them, but you must sacrifice that bit of fun for a life.
Im still not sure right know actually, should i play? or should i not? i feel like not but i am really tempted to play.
And btw it takes like 10 days to get to 60
3 settembre 2006 alle 07:16
for the record just because you play a video game doesnt make u a nerd there are alot of cool people on there and i used to play wow for about three months and it was fun but there are only one group of nerds that ive ever played with was when i went to an rpg sever for an hour wow those are some major dorks but w/e any who wow owns but i think that what ever makes you happy, no one should say a word if you like the game so IF YOU HATE WOW GOOD FOR YOU IF YOU LOVE wow GOOD FOR YOU TOO BUT NO ONE SHOULD BE GAY AND CALL ALL GAMERS NERDS ITS PRETTY GAY by yall

World of Warcraft is nothing more than a way for Blizzard to make money. If they had set out to make a game that was truly fun, this thread would not even exist.
The fact is : world of warcraft takes so much away from reality, that is can never outweigh the negatives
1) extended hours required, (lower back problems, social responsibilities neg., friends move on, eyesight diminished)
and for what?
a level 60 character who’s hair you hate and cant change, with better shoulder pads than your best friend who is envious of your new belt with 1 strength where skill is meaningless against time played.
and for what? so you can spend all weekend raiding so 4 out of 40 people can get new gloves and 35 people get jack to show for it?
frankly endgame is horrible, leveling 1 - 60 is boring, and the graphics, sadly are glitchy, inconsistant, althought well animated and scripted, leave a feeling of wonderment about how the hell can i justify staring at a computer screen all day with nothing to show for it.
If you currently play WoW, delete your character, cancell your account, and tell your family that you love them again. go out and look at the sunshine and feel the wind blowing.
if you dont do this for me, do it for yourself.
i hope that this reached one person deciding to quit, because if it did, than thats all that matters.
if it’s just chatter on a site no one will ever see, than at least i got it out there and off my chest.
p.s. it’s so gay how blizzard is allowing alliance shamans, horde is always outnumbered cause little kids that play alliance are more common than mature players who realize early on that horde is better. With that said, i hope that outlands never gets released, and i hope blizzard gets a lawsuit that makes then go under.
fuck democracy, look what it’s gotten us, jack shit and a wasted generation.

WoW is a game for people with free time. I’m disabled and can’t walk around and go to the movies and pubs with my mates, and i haven’t been able to go anywhere without being driven for a while.
My free time that would usually be going out with mates etc is turned, my mates are awesome and come to me, so i still keep a social life.
At school (average aged player, 15 :O) alot of people know me and i have alot of mates, so i still keep a social life.
But what do i do when i have nothing to do? WoW (unless i’ve got physiotherapy n’stuff). Its perfect for using an free time because you can chat to people, make good friends, make a guild, become a well-respected player and more. It’s fun, some of my friends play it.
People who hate WoW are spoilt people who think that getting drunk is cool, or maybe smoking. Those people shouldn’t be hating WoW because smoking isn’t actually cool, its what stressed people do all day until they die from cancer. GL.
Stop hating WoW and respect peoples look on life. We pay for it, we play it.
I play about 2-3 hours some days(i dont play every day).
Thats my life story, i’ll shut up now
10 settembre 2006 alle 10:47
Believe it or not, I play WOW and sustain a social life. I have good friends, few who play WOW. Sometimes when I tell people I play WOW they are suprised.
People who brag about their social life, usually don’t have one.. and the true “socius” bitches I know just spend 12+ hours a day on Myspace.com.
Wow or Myspace.com mhmmmm
My friend’s ex-girlfriend always used to bust my chops about playing WOW. Few weeks ago she was driving while under the infulence of alcohol, crashed into a man that lived in my neighboorhood, that i knew well and killed him and she fleed the scene of the accident.
She was driving home from a “party” where she was drinking and smoking, and is now going to Prison for LIFE.
So, again WOW or Life in Prison. So you can say you have to kill brain cells, and go to parties makes you “cool”. But some of the biggest losers I know are always talking about the “awesome party they went to” and “I drank so much”
Wow never killed anybody.
23 settembre 2006 alle 04:01
I am now free of WOW!!! how? do you say, well a few months back i decided that it was too much to play and have a life.
So I found this program that heaps of people use that fram for you (yes I know, bot!!, IDC what you say, it was the only way I could keep up in the game without playing it 24/7)
I was considering giving it up for an easier less intense game that I didnt have to play all the time to keep up, but instead logged on this morning to find my account had been closed and I have no doubt why, when I went to the programs website there was about 200 other users in the same boat.
Anyway thank you Blizzard for releasing me from you curse!!!!!

I have been playing WOW now for over 7 months and have just decided to stop playing. Around $15 per month + original game cost for scheduled weekly downtime, unscheduled weekly or daily downtime, bland post LVL 60 gameplay and an environment filled with idiots just does not equal fun for me anymore. If anything it has helped me realize all the fantastic and wonderful things in life that are totally free and come with no EULA or other strings attached. I’m done with WOW, no regrets.
18 ottobre 2006 alle 15:51
When I started playing the trial, i couldn’t control myself at all! i was sitting there in 36 hours, no sleep, no food. that stupid game ruined 36 hours my life and I’m not going to try that again, for all you WoW players out there stop playing or atleast try to reduce the time you will be playing, hey there are many other games than wow in this world, like grim fandango, Halo, Battlefield etc.
please for your sake.
24 ottobre 2006 alle 15:31
I like WoW, I used to be very addicted to it along with my fiance. It took us going out of town for a weekend for me to realize how much time i had been spending on it and how closed off and un loving out relationship was becoming. I used to play for hours on end every day, sometimes not even go lay down with him at night.So i ended up not playing for awhile and talking to my finace about it. and im fine with it now…i only play in moderation, that way it leaves more room for other things in my life. Which im glad i did….Its not the game, yes it was made to be “crack” pretty much, but i like it all the same…it just depends on us and the ones around us to help us realize “if” we are becoming too addicted to it, or if its making drastic unhealthy changes in us. But i would like to say this, if you do know that you have an addictive personality, just be careful if you do like spending time with loved ones,friends,or whatever else, because unfortunatlly, my fiance is still addicted to this priority in his life lol. And it can make someone close to you feel like dirt a lot:(

Its not the game its all of u. I have never played WoW but i play other (geeky, shity and whatever you wanna call em) games. Its the only way to get out of this shity world (sometimes maby into even a more shityer world but who cares). Life sucks and who say such things as “get a life” are just in denial.

WOW indeed is an addictive game. without doubts this game does NOT suck , but the player that’s playing it sucks if he has no self control. regarding to self control is somewhat wierd because this game makes you a whole different person, yet there are two faggy personalities in this world. the dudes that play wow and are addicted by it and the faggots that say that this game is wrong or that it sucks because it can make you lifeless. think again moron. it’s your choice. if you choose to have no life then be undead. if u choose to be an angry liberal hippie than start sucking balls for money but write a smart comment or article.
what’s stupid is that this article is 100% retarded and that 99% of the comments follow it’s principle of retardness.
an exemple would be :”the servers are full of lamers” think again asshole!. lamers like those can chop your intelligence and transform you into a kitty. it’s their choice and fuck off if you don’t like it.
secondly the first comment was :”bla bla . you and mr self controll. bla bla (i’m a retard) bla bla. now i have to go back to wow …). - stupid stupid stupid. i wish god wasn’t so kind with you mass idiots. there should be a ban for girls posting prepostorous crap too. girls know nothing better than to suck cock and they don’t even know this yet they ave the courage and “eloquence” to say :”you’re right, this game sucks”. if you tell a girl something that she cannot possibly comprehend she’ll believe you.
ex: this car has a motor made of silk. because silk can be fabricated in industry. so are cars.
and the bitch would easily reply :”really ? wow”.
ADVICE> get a life you morons. play a game for fun not for the leven and stop writing bullshit. if you want to argue with me pls do so savagelogician@yahoo.com.
pls don’t write stupid shit.
want a definition of hypocrisy and a severe dose of stupidity ? read this :lololololololololol that it is a gmae omfg learn a litle slef cntrl losers….. on a off not Bc is january woot woot .

this game is pretty lame, america is stupid.
it’s not that fun, adicting a little but not fun, unless you’re playing on a private server.
there are way way way better games out there.
and people who play WoW all day are just plain loosers. get a life damn it.
I’d rather play Wii. cuz it’s accually fun.

I just recently left my fiance of 3years because of that videogame. Everything was fine atfirst until WOW came out. I thought it’d be fun to play together, and it was, up until level 55. Then he got really anal about everything, and turned into an asshole. I stopped playing and over the last two and a half years, begged and pleaded with him to stop. And he did, a few times, for one month each time, and then he’d buy another copy and lie to me about it every day. He bought a total of three copies of the game, just so i wouldnt find out he was playing, but i did find out, every time. And i got fed up with the lies and his unending addiction. He made a choice, and he chose that game over me. And i hope he enjoys sitting in the dark hunched over his computer at his parents house, playing WOW all hours of the day and night.

I do believe that playing wow can be a good thing, but only if you don’t exagerate. Right now I’m working on a paper about game’s and their influence on man. You wouldn’t believe the things I’ve read, or the foto’s I’ve seen.
12 year old kids staying the whole summer behind their pc’s, pissing in bottles, smoking weed, sniffing coke, you name it, everything so they can keep playing.
I don’t think wow is bad, but you shouldn’t play more then 2 hyoursq a day, ffs, get a life elseways!!!

Just reading through some of the comments here about how addictive the game got. Sorry but its your own fault for letting it get out of hand. Ive got hours a day free to do what I like with. WoW takes up one or two if that. Weekends I might play for a few hours because of raids.
Basicly because YOU cant stop playing the game doesnt make it bad. If it was awful it wouldnt have 7.5 million players worldwide. Best way to quit, dischant all your items. Deleate your character. Sorted its done…why cant you people do that and just shut up about wow being addictive. Im not hooked on the game, yet I play it.

Playing WoW is fine if you like it, play it every so often when you can sacrafice a couple of hours to do something you like doing (if it’s WoW then so be it). I like the game, and I will go days or a week without playing it, and when I do, it’s average of 2 hours, when I have the time, and nothing better to do. I know someone who goes on there every single day for 10-12 hours every day, I mean, my God man, even if you have absolutely no life you should not play that game that long every day.
Oh, and BTW, If it takes you less than a month to get a lvl 60, then you’re one of the losers everyones talking about cause you’d be playing most of the day. So I wouldn’t brag about that, cause it makes you look really pathetic.

What’s really gonna suck is when I turn the internet off in the house and NO ONE will be able to play WOW or get on TS for that matter!

WOW is for sadacts who can’t get laid, luckily, real gamers are smart enough to play games like GW, which are free, and are made by a splinter group of the same developers.
WOW players have no friends, have no social life, and since all they do is play WOW, have no education, therefore, since they’re idiots, it’s explains why they play WOW and can’t get some action in the sack.
11 gennaio 2007 alle 20:03
If you are addicted to wow, you’re less cool than a crack addict. A crack addict is in better shape and will likely outlive you by a year or so and they go outside more and have more of a social life as sad as it is. One day you’ll wake up ready to go on a raid, realizing you’re 50 years old and still live with your parents because you did this with your life.

WoW fans should be beaten into the earth with a 20 pound log covered with monkey feces. I know for a fact that every WoW fan is retarted because they CANT FUCKING SPELL. Every one of them is EMO and use the game to confess to online players how fucking lame they are. There is no excuse for liking WoW - if you disagree with me then you are part of the problem.

I play wow like 5 hours a day, but today I’m going to stop it.(hopefully) Already I’ve played for 8 months and I thought I would never stop, until I read this post. You guys have tought me what this game really is and I am really grateful thanks very much.
25 febbraio 2007 alle 22:44
Hey all. I have a friend who plays WoW. He says hes not addicted but when I talk about problems in WoW he calls me a noob (In real life!) He also starts random fights about WoW. He insults games he doesnt even know going “Oh WoW is pwnage. TSRP Sucks!” Its annoying…
25 febbraio 2007 alle 22:48
Not only that, eh just convinced an already-socialy-awkward kid to play WoW! Oh noes!
25 febbraio 2007 alle 23:37
Those 2 above are me.
My friend plays WoW as I said above. When ever I talk about the games I play, and start trying to compare them to World of Warcraft going “Well instead of doing so-and-so you do this” he always starts interrupting me. ANy person I have ever met who plays WoW will not accept any sort of game information. If you try telling them about a different game or try proving your point of which game tis better they’ll just start yelling and going “DUDE THAT SUCKS WOW IS PWNAGE”.
27 febbraio 2007 alle 15:19
ya , WOW is pwnage . trust me , ive played wow for over 2.5 years now , i have my lvl 70 char and a lvl 64 .i Was what you guys call “addict” .before BC came out i had full t1 , t2 , t2.5 and about 4 t3 . I was deeply involved in the game .but 12 days ago i just stopped.
if u are a wow player or thinking about playing wow , dont ask a doctor about it , ask an expert about it , someone that played much …
my advice to you is , just don t play wow.
at first , i couldnt stop playing and yes it was stronger than me . i was spending 8-9 hours a day playing for 2.5 years i just couldnt stop like that and throw all my hard work away .
but i did it and trust me it feels much better.
wow took over my life , my work and my university .i lost most of my friends , for 2 years i was practically living in another universre.
WOW is the best game ever , i have played guild wars , eve online , everquest … wow is just Total pwnage lol .
anyways , take my advice and stop playing if u are not addicted yet stop or dont start becoz if u keep on going trust me u will be addicted.
to tell u the truth , I dont regret loosing those 2 years playing wow ; in my opinion , those were the best years of my life ( still 19 ) but u have to put an end to it. get ur life back smoke some shit , go party see some girls…
if u are stopping wow to start another mmorpg u would be doing the dumbest thing u could do.
WoW > all
but RL > WoW

i just uninstalled WoW, scratched one of the cd’s, broke the other into pieces, trewh one out, and cliped a piece of the last one off before trowing it all out

WoW is a terribly boring game. I couldn’t level to 60 in the free month, and didn’t want to put my credit card on recurring subscription, so I bought a game card. The game cards only came in 2 month installments. Within about a week on the gamecard, I could have reached 60, but instead I think I PvPed at 59 for about two weeks before getting to 60 to try and maximize the money. It’s possible to hit 60 in less than 2 weeks I think, but it would require playing way more than I am willing to invest in a game I’ve hated since almost the very beginning.
At that point it became a grind to just get gear, and I realized even with about a month left on my subscription, I’d rather throw that money away and do things I actually enjoy, so I uninstalled the game and gave away my account and character. It’s one of the better decisions I’ve made, and I feel great about it. I’ve never been a terribly social person, so I didn’t see the point of a boring game whose entire purpose is to allow nerds to socialize. If I wanted to socialize more, I’d be out doing it with non-losers, instead of with the rejects that nobody wants to socialize with in real life. I absolutely can not fathom a game designed in such a way, but I think it’s a sad commentary on society today.
5 marzo 2007 alle 08:03
its not the games fault its the person thats playing it nobody is telling you to keep playing simple as that you can still play a game and maintain a social life learn self control learn how to limit things play an hour and stop and do something else how hard is that :/

Ok point 14 is flat out stupid. Of course there isn’t an ending to WoW, that’s the point of an MMORPG in the first place. RuneScape, EverQuest, FF XI, all MMO’s, all have no ending.
Point 9 is false, I can log in for a mere half hour and when I log off again I can still have the feeling I’ve done something.
Point 6 is stupid. You make outrageous assuptions on how people spend their time without any real proof, it’s pure speculation.
I don’t know what the hell you’re on about in Point 5, I’ve been playing since launched and my eye sight hasn’t diminished in the least.
Point 3 is as bad as 6, pure speculation again. It’s only addicting to those with little self-control, I and every one I know have never had even a slight problem with WoW addiction, don’t go shooting your mouth off about other people’s personal lives.
Point 2 & 1 I’m not even going to bother with, because once again, you’re just shooting your mouth off with wild guesses.

Do remember that this game was developed for CHILDREN. Yes, indeed, little children who play their stupid little elven-fag videogames…
14 marzo 2007 alle 15:09
Yes, it is addictive - but not so addictive that you develop carpal tunnel syndrome in my hand, thats a little extreme to say the least. People who go days and days with no sleep at this game truly have either plenty of time on thier hands or it’s just some “fun” in thier eyes.
Everyone knows that a game especially a MMO, first ones can be hitting on the self control, and many people do spend hours progressing within it.
WoW is not so much the bad game, remember its all about the person who has the decision to play it. Every time a new game comes out - we all want to buy it and complete it and say - “I did that” and talk to your friends about it, how you did those quests or what you discovered.
Personally I play wow myself, so I can level up, explore new areas, talk to online friends and get together and have some fun
Its all about fun, never let a good thing overrun you. Its your own fault if you did. Yeah sure, wow does suck but thats entirely in your OWN opinion…

i love wow, i dont have it, but my friends play it, and i play with them. i also have an xbox 360 and i love to play oblivion, it is like wow, and it gets me excited. i kill all the mud crabs down at the beach, the little pests!
i also enjoy spending my time on crackdown, it gets me excited to. what i am trying to say is wow is a good game, and if you have it, then GOOD on you, ginger_webb@hotmail.com

also i am from swindon, and alot of my friends play wow, it gets me very exctied everytime i go round my friends house as i get to lvl up to level 2! bet you guys havent got to level 2 yet, my friend said that lvl 2 is the highest level in the game! HAHA, i am probably the best wow player in the world!
21 marzo 2007 alle 19:13
This blog is old, but here’s my two cents: real life blows. I play WoW to forget about how shitty the real world is. I play WoW to try to forget that some day I’m going to die.
I play WoW in a futile attempt to forget about how pathetic it is that I waste my time on a video game, in addition to how pathetic it is to try at life at all, because I’m just going to die in a few years anyway, and I hate that fact.
WoW is damage control for me.
24 marzo 2007 alle 10:21
It sure is very addicting, and addicted players like me (i dont play wow but some other mmorpgs) would play it for 7 hours if not more. I play mmorpgs mainly because it feels awesome to think that you were in that virtual world, being a hero, killing monsters and save people. i have always wanted to be a hero of somekind. maybe after my death.
24 marzo 2007 alle 10:28
and yes, real life is more important to me than mmorpgs. this one guy told posted and said to go “smoke some shit” or party instead of playing mmorpgs, dont do that..
instead get a job, visit your family pretty often (or leave and find a new place to live but still visit after that) and try to find a girlfriend somewhere else.
smoking damages brain cells and causes more addiction than mmorpgs.. i guess.. it also wasted money, about 120 euros a month.
its good to stay fresh, trust me.
i never smoked or drank. you should do the same.. good luck in life.
27 marzo 2007 alle 09:52
dude ur just like everyother person who got out of control with wow….
its not our fault u ownd the monster and lost the (wo)man of your life….dont try to get every1 else of the fun…
so fucking what if people take it seriously?
all wat u have to do is manage your time..
i play wow once a day for about 3 hours at a time..i still go to the beach, socialize, have a girlfriend

I have been addicted to WoW and if I play sometimes now I still got the feeling I need to play more.
Wow is like a drug. You cant blame it for your problems because you stept into it by yourself. It will let you life in a other world wich is pretty cool (I dont thinks it a sucky game). But you have to control you self because like a drug WoW will get you addicted. If you can control yourself thats cool because then you can enjoy the game and the Biggest game of all: Real Life.
For me it was easier to make progress in my “WoW life” because I didnt have to make hard deccions I can die when ever I want and most of all you dont encounter people in there face. Your just behind your monitor wich makes it you easier to say thing. That why its so full arrogant anoying people. You can type anything you want because you dont have to care about the (damm whats that word) things that happen after it.
Also I found that WoW is “brainkilling” (If you play much!) I noticed that I most of the time where thinking about WoW. Well I have that with most of the games now but nott before playing WoW. I see other people around me turning in like: “WoW zombies” I had a mate who played wow and now he nevers speaks to me even not via internet. Other I have seen other that probbaly didnt had a social life before playing but after is or while they are like shut down.
Blizzard is probbaly aware of this for sure. That why they make you pay. They play the part of “Drugdealer”. But like some! of the drugaddicts Wowaddicts will see that this isnt what live is supossed to be and will kick off. Then they have to make something else mabye a RTS Warcraft 3 like but then upgraded of course. Untill there buisniss is over they will deal the drugs.
Now about the game it self. It was a cool game in the begin where every one had a change and it was all new ect. But afterward I realize ( What i think) that the game really sucke. Just like a drug the effect weakens in strength. General you always have to do the same. And that the main idee of a MMORPG.
My advise would be not to play. But in the begin the game is fun but once you feeling bored or playing to long you better stop. There are so much other games wich are less adictive then this one.
Above all the games is the biggest/hardest/coolest ect ect and wich the best grahicps: Real Life. So dont get owned in it!
Happy greets to all of you and if you like you can contact me on: elron_ruhe@hotmail.com (Helps me to rebuild my social life

ps. Sorry for my spelling and gramar.

You are a complete noob. 90% of the points you bring up are positive to me, and most likely everyone else that has actually PLAYED the game.
The real game does not start at level 60, as progressing through your infinite amount of reward and mastering your professions etc. it feels very gratifying and now that the Burning Crusade expansion set is out, when you hit 70 they make sure that that is not the end of the game with some high level instances and much, much more.
Best things happen by chance? That can be annoying however you can make your own luck in the game.
Ok, not much virtual sex :p However the closest thing to it is the nude patch and custom emotes?
Linux is not officially supported but if you had any idea, you would understand Linux actually has emulation devices such as Cadega and Wine that allows you to play.
The game does not REQUIRE a full hour of play each time you log in to have fun, you can put some things up for auction grind a bit and log out. You can find fun depending on your personality. Don’t you play most games for an hour at least anyways?
Steals you time - You don’t have to get all they way up to the level cap. Never mind your point about “respect”, be nice help others out and have a good time, that gains the respect from other players, they are just like you and me.
I have never played video games at a beach but you have a point there.
A lot of the people that play mmorpgs never enjoyed playing sports anyways, however you can still easily find time to get some exercise, you don’t need to pay for a new card right after one runs out. It was your choice to play anyways as I have collectively pointed so: if you need glasses you need glasses.
What PC game doesn’t offer Carpal Tunnel?
The game is addictive because it is fun no other reason. Miss a date, that’s your fault not the game, come on, your “Death-White Faced” WoW addict has a date!? I am confused…
If that last point is true, then every game wastes your life, what is life all about anyways? World of Warcraft! … Or whatever you find fun.

WTF is wrong with you people! Wow sucks balls because it’s just some shit that came out of the warcraft series which came out of starcraft which came out of command and conquer which came to a guy when he was piss drunk at a Detroit bar(true story) and then i would like to add that everyone else on wow wont help shit when you start.

It sounds like a lot of the people posting here are pretty young, ie; under 23 years old. If WoW had existed when I was that age, I probably wouldn’t have gotten anything done ever. I’m impressed with those of you who balance your schedules in the midst of schooling, work and social life. I come from a different angle though-
Just so we’re honest here, I’ll fess up and say that I’m in the 30-45yo age bracket. Where I work, the traditional method of networking is golf. Let me say first that I hate golf. A lot. Luckily, WoW is becoming so popular that most of the people I work with also play. So, instead of standing around the golf course BS’ing, (and paying $120+ for a round, plus lunch, and other expenses, and all this more than once a month), we’re doing group stuff online. Go take down a Dungeon? Fine. In the end it saves me a fortune, $15/mo flat rate instead of $300+/mo(!).
What got me started about a year and a half ago was when someone at work mentioned some decision that was made, and I said, “Oh I must’ve missed that meeting”. “Oh,” came the reply, “that decision was made online last night, guess you weren’t there”.
So let me say, as a networking tool WoW is fabulous. It lets you keep in touch with people in a way that doesn’t demand you knock a stupid white ball around with a metal stick all day on a Saturday.
In any case, I think sometimes about the time spent online, and that is appreciable, but actually my wife and I have saved a lot of money playing. $30 per month for probably 15 hrs of entertainment is some of the cheapest you can buy. Plus with the business angle, and how little I’ve watched TV since the beginning, I’m actually quite satisfied.
OTOH, I really think that if you’re a teenager who likes computer work, you really need to work on learning everything you can about the technologies and architectures out there. In 10 years, WoW will have been supplanted by some other game, (yes it will happen), and nothing you’ve done in WoW will matter. But learn as much as you can about software and hardware while you’re young, and that will help you immensely in the future. I’m not saying it’s not fun to play for the sake of it, but don’t let it get in the way of life - even if life really means homework.
Anyway, take with it what you will.
22 aprile 2007 alle 11:10
Hi there.
Nice story. I can understand it will help in networking. But still you play wow in steed of otherthings. You could suggest something else then golf etc. And still I think that its better not to play wow wenn bussy with school.
24 aprile 2007 alle 04:52
In addition to what the people above me already said - it would be pretty sad to lose another good friend to this legal hard drug.
Blizzard just went one step to far with the general layout of this game - I mean, I liked Diablo 2 as much as everyone else, but WoW; let’s just say that, compared to Diablo, it seems like crack compared to a mild sort of weed.
And I don’t know if even that comparisoon is strong enough.
25 aprile 2007 alle 22:01
WoW sucks, end of story. PvP is horrendously unbalanced (some classes can be stunlocked from 100% to 0%).
In the early game, you can login and do an instance with a few friends. It’s not so bad, but late game you’re pretty much forced into raiding. Raiding means you’ll have to schedual your life around WoW and play for many hours with 20+ strangers for a rare chance of gear. The WoW end game is for people with no life, it’s as simple as that.
Guild wars is far better, it has no monthly fee and it’s way more casual.
25 aprile 2007 alle 22:07
Yeah and with upcoming games like: Crysis, Assasins Creed, UT2007 and later on: Huxley and much and much more you should waste all your game time to WoW because then you arent a gamer but a gnome or ork etc.

it ruined my life too. my ex was addicted to the game, and it drove everything he loved away. he failed to spend time with his child, and me. he would play it for 6 hours on weekdays and 14 hours on weekends. it truely does ruin lives. even if you addicted people dont see it…it does. its the worst game on this earth and i hate it more then anything. more then war, more then famine, more then death.

you guys are rediculios i used too play and was addicted ya it was fun but freakin rediculiosous Bliizzard really knows how to trick your mind it shows well what ele do you do in your spare time why not play WoW, then your hooked. it’s like doing heroin or pot addicting but has alot of long term effects, like screwed up eye sight, brain damage , a huge amount of stress, your like almost there almost got to get to lvl 40 , yes i got to now i gotta wast one more month of my life to lvl 60 o wait it doesn’t stop there there is elite. i’m suprised emo people don’t play this game it’s just as bad as cutting your wrists. sounds like you guys would rather date the freakin computer than some hot chick if you ask me.

15. Im pretty sure the real game starts at lvl 1, wher you learn the skills to be good at lvl 60 (70).
14. The game is priceless, most games you beat after about 10 hours of game play, WoW never ends, its value is endless.
13. And please, state what the best thing in the game is? Invalid point.
12. …. wtf? Perv…
11. Life is full of lamers. Check mate bitch.
10. Linux is open source, so if you want to make your own version of WoW and have blizz approve it, go right ahead.
9. This is WoWs catch, you can enjoy it as long or as short as you want, time is an illusion.
8. Want to be a rich and respected human? prepare to cheat, and lie your way through life, or work extremly hard.
7. I am tanned, I play wow for about 20-30 hours a week. Pwn
6. I play 4 sports, and am not fat, stop being sterotipycal. (owned)
5. This may be your only valid point…
4. Im on the computer for more then 100 hours a week, and have been for about 4-5 years now, no nothing yet,
All depends on the keyboard you use. (rised keyboards are not good for your wrist.
3. I stop for 2-3 months at a time when I know ive had to much. (also everything that good has to be addictive)
2. Hey, I still owned the monster.
1. WoW has intergrated into my life, I work, go to school, play soccer, football, basketball, and other activities
and I play WoW when those are not happening.
Point in case, do not sterotype all gamers, some people are hardcore, and they are good at what they do, and sometimes
they do go overboard, please do not think that everyone who plays WoW plays over 120 hours a week. You know enough about
WoW you probably played at one point, and yes ill resort to calling you a little nub you probably got owned by a 70.
30 maggio 2007 alle 16:15
Your absolutly right. World of warcraft does suck. I hate thats damn game!!!! All my frined started playing it and now they wont stop talking about it. Runescape is better. its not as addicting the graphics arnt as good, and not as namy people play it so it dosnt lag.

Here’s what I think of Blackout’s answers to the thread:
15. The real game will start for you once you get laid nerd.
14. I can totally see the value on a game that never ends, is like having diarrea for the rest of you life YEAY!!!!
13. The best thing about this game is when you cancel your account and realize that now you have an extra $15 a month to may be buy a non imaginary woman a drink or two.
12…WTF???…nerd
11. The only lamer in this thread is a fucktard nerd named Blackout.
10. Why would anyone use Linux is beyond me only nerds like blackout would use that crap. If you are currently programing applications for Linux you need to stop, worse if you are doing WoW mods, turn around and do something that actually benefits people instead and do it using the operating systems that people actually use. Linux = Sweat from Neil Diamond’s balls.
9. Here is blackout’s catch: you can give him wedgies and tittie twisters for as long or as short as you want. His balls are illusion
)
8. Wanna be a rich and respected human? do the oposite of what blackout tells you because his 12 year old advice is as useful as a mouthfull of shit covered pubes…
7. Skat does not count as tanning blackout!!! especially when you use your own feces. PWN
6. the 4 sports that blackout plays are: Plastic doll wrestling, Geo nascar, Sheep Banging and bobbing for turds at the bus station’s bathroom.
5. that’s one more than blackout
4. This one is pure comedy gold and the reason of my post, fucktard blackout is in the computer for over 100 hours a week…mmm…that means he sleeps about 5 hours a day and has about 4 hours a day left to bathe, eat, shit, move from one place to the other, play 4 sports, tann and have a social life. I wonder if this imbecile even knows how many hours are in a day but yet again the 100 hours in the computer seems to be the most believable part of his entire argument.
3. The retardation continues as asshole blackout spits out yet another idiotic comment “I stop for 2 to 3 months when I had too much” but for the last 4 to 5 years he has been on the computer for over 100 hours a week right? HOW’S THAT FOR TOO MUCH JACKASS? I think the only thing that blackout does when he had too much is masturbate watching a night elf dancing to release some tension. His room is probably filled with crunchy socks.
2. No blackout, the truth is the monster owned you but you must write all your nonsense to make yourself feel better because deep down inside you know that your whole existence is worthless, you are a parasite of society, a non productive nerdy microbe that feeds from his parents like a leech. You are the load that should have been swallowed. Your only acomplishment in life is when you beat all the other 400,000 sperms to get to your moms egg, which makes me wonder what would have happened if any of those other sperm had made it instead…God save us all!!!
1. Yeah you play baskeball and soccer and bla bla bla they are called NBA 2007, madden 2007, FIFA 2007. You go to work as a janitor at a greyhound station and your school is a zelda srtategy guide. Go to your Mom’s kitchen, (cause I know you still live with your mom) grab a spoon, do the world a favor and slice your wrists with it. I wonder if your mommy and daddy are brother and sister…or may be “blackout” is what happened to you mom when she visited your daddy at the penitentiary and she got gang banged by the inmates resulting in your retard ass being born. I could go all day with this but it is a waste of my time so just shut your mouth when you feel like talking geius, nobody wants to hear your mentaly retarded opinions.

13 giugno 2007 alle 23:16
In the above post you can see (if you understand the damage wow does) the results of wow. Insulting people on the internet can be explained by the lots of stress you have with WOW.
The major point is: you would be better of not playing wow. And thats the truth. No matter what you say you will be better of without it.
If you play it you might say that you are not adicted but youare already mabye not that heavy as some one else.
And then the game actually sucks. you keep doing the samesamesame lame game killing mobs earing stuff that begins to look the same etc. If you save money of 4 months you have about 40 euros then you can buy a other much more fun game to play or something else of course.
World of Warcraft is a world alone. If you want to live there you have to sacrifce stuff in the real world and eventually you will be a fake person!
14 giugno 2007 alle 22:13
Yes. Wow sucks. RuneScape
rules! Hahaha! Take that,
weirdoes from u tube!
14 giugno 2007 alle 23:30
i know and if people keep playing it its just going to make more and more people fat and than we will have 1000000000000000 of fat peole walking around ummm maybe not walking maybe just siting in a sit all day playing WoW day in and day out 24 on 7 i stoped playing WoW and my hands and i feel much better i feel alive not a zombe.
15 giugno 2007 alle 09:20
WoW is the dumbest creation in the history of gaming when viewed from the eyes of an intelligent person who has a life. It’s a pretty smart idea from the eyes of a businessman, though. All that aside, I’ve seen WoW ruin lives. I’ve seen WoW ruin relationships. I’ve even seen WoW cause people to lose jobs and take semesters off from college. THAT IS SAD. This game is not worth that. No game is worth that. We’re seeing a whole new level of “pathetic” evolving. Anyone amongst these comments who is defending the game or their overly sedentary, WoW-oriented lifestyle needs to grow a brain.
15 giugno 2007 alle 20:59
i know what you mean i almost had carpal tunnel than it kicked in Y AM I PLAYING A GAME THAT IS SO GAY??
18 giugno 2007 alle 21:32
There’s no end to this, is there!? You people are over-reacting! Why the hell is everyone mad! It’s a game for god’s sake. It can’t ruin your life unless you play every hour of every day. And i’m sure that no one does that…lol. I have Straight A’s in school, Tons of friends, a girl friend, I play basketball, and all that crap. Yeah, people say I play WoW to much, but I don’t really see how my life has been “ruined”. If you think WoW sucks, it’s cuz you either play another game, games aren’t your thing, or you’ve never played it. And if you think WoW is so terrible, don’t play it and leave everyone else alone. (And hey! Guy with the list! Most of those reasons suck, you just wanted 15 reasons exactly so you thought as hard as you could just to come up with some.) Only #15,#9,#8,#4,#1 are okay reasons. Congratulations! 5 Reasons why not to play it!
18 giugno 2007 alle 21:58
I dont believe you have read all the above post. Because we dont put every wow player in the same basket. I have played it and it ruined about a year so.
We dont say that if you play it ruins your life instant. Just if you play to much I probbaly will.
Read the post and only reply if you understand what this blog is about.
19 giugno 2007 alle 05:52
heh some of these people have very good points. Even I, a WoW freak do need to take a break every once in awhile. But some of the post are just dumb. If you’re gonna say WoW sucks and not give any reasons, then don’t post, thats what i should have said then. (lol and i didnt read all the posts >.> that’s alot of arguement that i don’t wanna have to read
19 giugno 2007 alle 11:25
first of all, elron please dont try to analyse me, u dont know me, however i very stronly agree with your last post. u just stated the point i have been trying to get across to this. wow is only a problem if it gets out of control.
and i am just annoyed with the people that say “how come your always playing wow?” blah blah blah. and i tell them the same thing over and over, i play 3 days a week, most times less. its just the stereotypes and being taken for something that im not that really gets to me.
20 giugno 2007 alle 21:15
I am not analyzing you and I wasnt trying to. The last post was more a reply to the post before.
And what you say is true. If you can control your wow play time its great. But I couldnt and played to much about every free hour I had. Wow is a game where you have to step out once and a while to see how your doing. Wenn its cool contue with the way your going. If not you might consider changing your plans.
Later
20 giugno 2007 alle 21:16
And one more thing. Wow is in fact a very very simple game dont forget that. Its so balanced that there isnt really any skill coming too. If you suck at it you dont play enough
22 giugno 2007 alle 00:33
Look. I need to explain. There are 9999999999999999999999 people on u tube who say RuneScape sucks. So I hate WoW.
I was posting on a Wii so it was short.
22 giugno 2007 alle 14:16
totally agreed with both points Elron
23 giugno 2007 alle 15:39
WoW sucks cuz it took my firneds life and now he,s not my friend anymore it started when i got to him and he played it like an addictive.
i sat in his house for an hour looking at a elf who skin had been to long in the sun. in that hour i kept saying lets do something else
then when i left he normally says:no stay a bit more. or . cmon stay pls. he just sed bye
then i was angry and all my friends think i should say sorry becuz i overreacted.fuck WoW and all who plays it it ruins your life!
23 giugno 2007 alle 16:10
I know all people wait to do is just play it for days if not weeks with out sleep
24 giugno 2007 alle 19:25
your friend obviously got out of control,
darkside, ur an idiot because going weeks without sleep makes u sleep deprived and u would die.
29 giugno 2007 alle 20:50
wow sucks, but brood war totally rocks!!all wow players are extremely dumb
1 luglio 2007 alle 10:08
haha
once again another retarded stereo typer.
1 luglio 2007 alle 19:37
Agreed talking about it like that looks retarted
2 luglio 2007 alle 06:52
WoW was created by secret government agencies in attempt to control population escalation. They knew if they could make an addictive mmo they could guarantee that socially inept teens who had a slim possibility of getting laid and knocking someone up are now going to have no chance of this . No self respecting female will go anywhere near geeky socially inept teens who play with Sunday morning cartoons on their computer. In addition they are making millions off the sale of personal lubricants and monitor wipes from players who are male yet play female night elves.
2 luglio 2007 alle 16:12
lmfao good job dude.
that really made me laugh hard.
and now i refer back to my last comment
5 luglio 2007 alle 00:02
Look world of war craft is world of war craft its a online games it is quite hard 2 quit but who cares its your time you waste and of course world of warcraft is not on linqux
look
windows controls 94% of the computer market
mac controls 5%
linux and unix control 1% so of course all computer and online game manufacturers are aiming at windows for there games not mac or linux

30 luglio 2007 alle 02:28
I played WOW all summer long one year when i finally stopped playing it everything went better then ever. Jest snap the damn CD in half its not that hard! i mean come on get a life your playing something fake, virtual, NOT REAL god damnit!!! The only thing thats going to happen to you is at the end you’ll realize how long yolu waisted you time and life!!!!!! (wow is for bitches)
1 agosto 2007 alle 17:45
I’m sorry if you can’t sort out to do with your free-time, if you plan it a lil better you can combine WoW and the other things perfectly!
I play WoW, and I’m proud of it!
5 agosto 2007 alle 04:25
You all have no Life WOW is for nerds and dip farts that spend their hard earned money on a low-Graphic, worst gameplay game of all time this game is a pile of shit, i don’t know if the creators sold their souls to the devil or what but their is no way 6,000,000 people are stupid enough to PAY monthly for this pile of crap. Go buy your selfs a PSP, Xbox 360, PS3 with all this money and Play Oblivion, The Two Worlds, they have massive numbers of quests, and Next Gen Graphics, 3RD Person view + 1st Person View, W.o.W is the worst game ever created for Dumb asses like your self.
5 agosto 2007 alle 06:28
FUALL, you are retaded.
hmmmm i think people pay because they can afford you dumb fuck, dont get angry coz you dont want to pay for it. oh you are right 6,000,000people dont play it. i think more play it now. dont bring religion into it you just a retarded stereo typer. it cosst money so they can make expansions, oh yea thats right there is TBC and the third one has just been announced even though TBC came out this year. graphix dont have everything to do with it, it just adds a more realistic feel to it, but it should be the game and how fun it is,not the graphix.
so go fuck yourself, i dont care about your opinion but when you say “WOW is for nerds and dip farts” that when i say go and fucking kill yourself
7 agosto 2007 alle 01:29
Hi all
For me WoW is a dumb crap and It’s also a very borring game for ME! And i like to stop to produce WoW!!!
7 agosto 2007 alle 04:50
I know you are trying to make a point and be funny at the same time…But, this is the stupidest thing I ever heard..
“7. Unless you play at the beach, you can’t get tanned while playing WoW, and no one likes “death-white†faces.”
What if I have a sun lamp?! Or take an hr away to go tanning once a week?!
I Dunno, I usually don’t reply to crap like this but that is def. one of the stupidest points I have seen or heard in a really really long time…
7 agosto 2007 alle 05:17
nah, it only wastes your life if you choose for it to do that. just control your amount of play and don’t get carried away… go take a walk or something if your eyes start hurting (=
it’s a good game and you can’t deny it!
7 agosto 2007 alle 11:14
HKey i respect your comment, you wernt steoreotyping anyone or making immature comments.
your the kind of person that should be commenting on this sort of thing more often
8 agosto 2007 alle 10:48
World of Warcraft does encourage you to want to play it (it’s called being fun). It does not, however, destroy relationships, consume your life, make you fat and pale, etc. These things are caused by nothing other than your lack of self-control and/or bad judgement. If you want to blame someone or something for the problems you have look in the mirror.

Fact : boobs > tier 6
Think twice, don’t be lame, seriously, unless you’re in a HUGE guild filled with awesome people, which is barely possible, you won’t find a group for your fucking instance as you log in, so you start playing but you are NOT playing yet.
People playing WoW will yell, cry, spit on you if you tell them that WoW sucks… because they know that you are right. WoW is a MMO, and MMO mean must be with people to evolve, but WoW is like a second life, filled with the same lame people present in your REAL LIFE…
9 agosto 2007 alle 02:38
It SUX because its boring as all fuck and you need other people to play or its completely useless. There are better games and multiplayer games out there. The warhammer series for starters. Most of the WoW players are just sheep following their stupid friends and get addicted and waste their life on crap like this.
9 agosto 2007 alle 08:32
Jean-Philippe, scroll up.
what server were u playing on? a crappy one obviously.
if you couldnt find a group you probably did something that made the server hate you.
i dont get angry becoz i think your right, i get angry because your another stereo typical person. im not a sheep, i like to play video when i can be fucked, you or someone that you knew got addicted and your taking it out on the game because they or you lost your self control.
WoW is ONLY addictive if you lose self control.
if you or your friends cant keep self control, heres a tip, throw the game away, scratch teh CDs or do whatever you like, just dont pay out the people who still like to play it and dont make bad comments about it, just leave wow players alone.
9 agosto 2007 alle 10:52
I only played once you shithead. That was bad enough. You fuckn WoW players are dumb fucked up addicted sheep you know that? Go fuck yourself you piece of shit. Play games that are actually creative and have depth to them. Not this bullshit where u sit ther for 10 hours just to get to another lvl up. only dumbfucks like yourself follow shit like that. dumb fuckn cumrag.
9 agosto 2007 alle 11:56
lol, i got into it myself.
if u spent 10 hrs a lvl then you obviously wernt very good it at. therefore hating it.
cumrag? haha
grow up then reply
10 agosto 2007 alle 14:41
Dude fuck WOW youll all lose your friends playing that (not to mention your money) I agree with every1 that agrees with me If you play wow Luck trying to get a girlfriends (A real life GF) SO if you play Wow Go suck your periods (if u have any) Anyone that plays wow is a pube-o-matic
10 agosto 2007 alle 14:43

Why would you care if the characters could not have virtual sex? Sounds like a perv to me. Hehe.
I’ve been playing World of Warcraft for about…
2 years. Got BC. Yeah…. I’m not having any problems… So it’s your problem. And the one thing I cannot believe, is that you actually made a website to complain about one of the best MMORPG’s in the world. That’s low. I’m sorry but, you fail… And a few things also… Your able to change the skin tone of your character. And I’m able to play sports, even though I play WoW a lot. Yes it is addicting, but technically, while playing, you are living a life. So stop making crap websites and actually get one yourself.
12 agosto 2007 alle 18:08
Ooh.. I’m sowwy, did I hurt your feewings? Well WoW is probably one of the best MMORPG’s out there: http://www.mmorpg.com/ ))
And It’s not just killing monster after monster, completing quest after quest, it’s playin a very descent game that over 7,000,000 people now are playing. It may be a tad bit of a time taker, but if you don’t have the time, just don’t play it. Your still able to do a lot of other things, like sports… I really like Rofelli’s post, #16. Perfect example. Hey at least it’s better than a lot of other MMORPG’s out there.
12 agosto 2007 alle 18:11
DON’T PLAY EVERY FREAKING DAY PEOPLE!
Problem solved
12 agosto 2007 alle 18:13
True says:
And the game looks like shit too! Why do you have to buy that good new computer, when all you’re going to use it for is Wow.
Uh, ROFL! Try http://www.runescape.com/ and compare it to that.
13 agosto 2007 alle 02:13
I wouldn’t play it if someone gave me a free account and credit, and I have been offered before. At least with other mp games like counterstrike you could say your working your motor reflexes and skill e.t.c. so its good for something, but wow is one big good for nothing. No strategy no thinking involved no nothing. It’s the “jackass” of the gaming world. Lol at ppl who make/buy a 5g pc and end up wasting their life on WoW. Thats just fucked.
13 agosto 2007 alle 20:37
Go and play quake you moron…-_- Obviously you have no idea what an MMORPG is. No matter if you had a lvl60-70 char.
“grown and married” tells everything about peeps. How can one be really grown and married at the same time? Jesus people…
14 agosto 2007 alle 03:10
Yeh I will shithead. I love Quake its a great game. Obviously your a cumstain because theres a difference between a piece of shit like WoW and Quake or even Quake Arena. Don’t try to defend your piece of shit WoW buddy coz theres nothing to defend, it’s shit and people like you know it but your so fuckn addicted and have nothing else in your life you dun want to look like thrush ferret and admit it.
Yeh “Grown and married” your grow up…..then you get married, so what part of that line did you not understand?
14 agosto 2007 alle 17:07
i really dont get what everyones probelm is, i play wow, i work 55hours a week, play in two gigging bands, have girl friend, its just people tht cant manage there time, weak people, tht drop everything jus to play, quit there job, lose there partner an abandon their family, gay boys
15 agosto 2007 alle 10:08
@Eminem, i have friends and a GF (real life)and are socially, mentally and physically fine.
im not saying that every other wow player is the same im just trying to say stop stereo typing
17 agosto 2007 alle 01:56
I Have Been Playing WOW For A While Now About 2-3 Months, I Have Played For About An Hour And A Half Everyday. I Was Personally Quite Skeptical On The Overpowering Addictiveness World Of Warcraft Held On People. But Over The Last 3 Months I Have Noticed At Least Half Of My Friends Making Excuses Not To Come Out With Me Or My Other Friends. It’s Always “I’ll Come Out Once I Have Leveled Some More” But They Never Stop I Havent Actually Seen Some Of My Friends For 3 Months. I Have Played WOW And Have Given Up. I Found It Boring, Exausting, Ass Numbing, Mind Boggling, And Personally I Thought It Was Crap… I Have No Idea Why My Friends Are So Addicted, I Used To Play Runescape Aswell Got To A Level 54 And Still Didn’t Enjoy It… I Like The Concept Of The MMORPGs (A Worldwide Network Of People Playing Together) But I Find The Fantasy Element A Bore…
19 agosto 2007 alle 08:38
if this game is so great…why are you searching wow sucks?
19 agosto 2007 alle 11:08
This game sucks, i played for 6 months and it took too much of my time. So after my account expires its over. To all the morons who think its about self control its not. I go out with friends have fun, do this and that. The main problem with this game is it takes your attention away from your life. THIS GAME IS LIKE WORK. No matter what you say its true. I have a job and i dont need another one. People strive to perfect this game (like work) but this is something you can not perfect. It keeps going with no ending.
examples as why this game is like a job
1. Need to grind rep until revered for hours just to get into heorics (4 different rep groups)
2. need to pvp and arena to get gear which you’ll eventually replace with Tier gear.
3. Guild relies on you to show up for raids and help the guild
4. Leveling to the hightst LV before the next expansion comes out (which is now every YEAR!)
5. Need to grind heorics to get badges for rewards at shatt
6. Running Karazhan, Gruuls lair, Mag and all those other bullshit instances that doesnt drop all gear and only drops 2 tokens for tier set which needs to be rolled for.
As you can see AFTER leveling from 1-70 (which is the current cap) you have to do ridiculous ammount of grinding pvping and helping guild.
IM SORRY BUT I HAVE A JOB AND DONT WANT ANOTHER ONE
so F U blizz
23 agosto 2007 alle 18:37
to put it plain and simple wow sucks. i played it for 2 months and the only satifaction you can get when ur lvl 70 is to stand infront of a lower level to make him feel like shit. I got to lvl 24 and constantly lvl 40+ people wud ask me for a duel i was like fuck off! it wastes your time, dont play it

1. 8-13 years old
2.40 yr olds or higher acting like there 8-13(weird?)
3.mentally disabled people
4.people with lack of self controll
5.HIGH people

WoW is boring the only awesome thing about it is the graphics and if your addicted to the game its your fault not World of Warcrafts. Think about it dipshits theres better things to do in life then playing a video game 24/7. You only got 1 life and guess what all your going to do with it sit down all day on a computer playing nothing but games for hours waisting all your free time. I been to some websites and a lot of people are saying that there social life is being ruined like there families are being torn apart or there breaking up with there girlfreind the smart ones do something about it the dumb ones don’t. Well heres a simple answer too all those problems
STOP PLAYING WoW break the CD get some help or something you can’t saying that its so addicting that you can’t stop playing well it’s not like its a drug like meth its a video game common scents people.
10 settembre 2007 alle 16:55
well aside the valid point i think i have a better life on wow than i do in real life so screw you real life i have wow………im so sad! someone out there please help me PLEASE!!!!
15 settembre 2007 alle 08:43
I disagree. Many players can control their playing. I have played Wow for year now, and in week I play someabout 10 hours, two hours per day, and break one of your facts, I am respected max-level player. I’m not fat.
What does wow do with eyesight? Being farsighted or closesighted is about the shape of the eyeball. Of course the bright lights damage eyeball, but these damages aren’t fixable by classes.
And many people on Wow, who have life, kids, jobs and girlfriend.

22 settembre 2007 alle 03:00
I’ve written 376 blog posts so far… and only 1 (one) is about “World of Warcraft”. Who’s the nerd now? Me, or you, searching for “wow sucks” on Google?
23 settembre 2007 alle 05:17
The game sucks and so do the people that play it.WOW is for people that have no lives. I see my friends play the game and I want to smack them in the head. thy play every chance thy get, never want to do anything, not even to go out and get some pussy.

Amen. My sister’s boyfriend is ridiculous. He ignores my sister completely and play this stupid game every single minute of his day. He used to have a job. Used too. I haven’t played this game. I have no intentions too. It consumes people. I think it is a problem. And no, I didn’t come looking for this. My friend sent me a link because she has a bf with the same issue.
25 settembre 2007 alle 03:17
Well i was randomly searching the net before i left for work and found this i work 8 to 12 hours a night 6 nights a week i come home play wow fall asleep wake up play wow until i go to work you might say i have no life because of this no i have hobbies and i love to be outside the problem is that most people like y’all crying about why wow is bad is why i don’t socialize because you think you know everything and if someone doesn’t think like you there are weird and have problems but your just jealous because someone can have fun and be happy with there life at home and doest have to go out and party and get drunk to get thru life so if you don’t like wow have you played? why did you stop? DON’T JUDGE OTHERS IT’S NOT YOUR PLACE!! go sit at starbucks and gossip and talk about the latest fashion see if we make fun of you to your face or behind your backs. or get your life in order learn how to manage your time and buy WOW of you actually have a job that you can support your hobbies besides think about it how much do you spend goin out every month or week? i spend 15 bucks a month and have all the fun i need i make friends and don’t have to deal with crap its not a drug i am an addict by my own choice i can walk away whenever i want but its fun because you don’t play and play only to get the credits and well GAME OVER lets play again what its exactly the same what fun is that wait prolly about as much fun as goin to the mall again or goin to a concert again goin to a party and gettin drunk again see its all the same your an addict to something different its called people cause you don’t know how to be alone so therefor you are WEAK!!!!!!
25 settembre 2007 alle 06:24
Are you Randomly searching the net to see how much your game sucks?.
WEAK? your the anti-social one hiding in your WOW world because you think everyone is judging you and we know everything yea right. we all get drunk to get threw life and we don’t know how to be alone. now who’s is judging who?. addicted by your own choice, thats a good one. when your addicted to something you have no choice because you cant stop your addicted and that makes you WEAK. get out and quit blaming your social problems on people that you think are judging you and that you think we know everything. we don’t know everything and people get judged every day it’s called life get one. Ive been playing games a long time so I know when a game sucks and thats why I don’t play WOW. you play a game you beat it and move on.
25 settembre 2007 alle 13:57
everyone look at this this shows how you can end up if you play wow and its funny too http://www.allabout-sp.net/?p=season10/1008

I’ll lay it out for you, I’ve:
Fucked more girls,
Drank more beer,
Seen more countries,
Slept on more beach’s,
Ate better food,
Then you will in your whole pathetic life.
And i play WoW.
Nuff said.
10 ottobre 2007 alle 02:39
I LOOOOOOVVEE WOW, it is my life
PS. I HAVE A BIG NOSE
12 ottobre 2007 alle 05:44
There are 9 million people in the world enjoying all facets of the game. This is a testament to how fucking stupid people are worldwide. They raid all night while their wife sits there waiting for them to grow a dick. If I had a feces covered 2×4 I would smash the heads of every wow player in the world into their computer screen. Blizzard might as well be a gay porn service because all the old men sit in their purples stroking their small penis. Also known as e-peen. 85% of all WoW players enjoy hello kitty and bestiality pornography. That is all
12 ottobre 2007 alle 06:15
I FINALY SEE THE LIGHT I WILL STOP PLAYING MY FAVOURITE GAME SO I CAN GO OUTSIDE AND GET MUGGED MOLESTED GANG RAPED.
sarcasm…… WoW is fuckign great i play as long as i want and i still have a social life it dosnt take a fucing miracle to balance them both dickweed you are an immature asshole and a pervet by the sounds of things go and watch a porn movie and have a good nice jizz session asshole with no life
13 ottobre 2007 alle 23:18

.. what about the other guys who have guild and for those who have an imba guild (teh imbaest ) u cant talk with them they cant talk with u .. what can i say this is a small world in the bigger world .. matrix inside the matrix .. so about those guys if u say that they are addicted first they will deny it tho overall they got so fricknig addicted so they will stop when the blizzard dicide to make a new game, like “diablo 3 welcome to the hell of farming “…. this is like the wheel of karma u r inside u have joined the game and u cant escape .. only for those who seek enlightment there is a chance to stop the wheel of reincarantion .. aka to pay for the next month
cya and for the horde or whatever
so all i just said above is the naked truth how we said on my country or … wtf need to farm rep .. why did i bother u with some guy problems ..

WoW does suck, so does runescape and other time wasting mmorpg’s
22 ottobre 2007 alle 16:07
oy zach boy you sound like a guy who has never even played it and runescape hardly quailfys as an mmorpg and there nott ime wasting if you enjoy them dum ass
23 ottobre 2007 alle 03:26
This whole thing is kinda silly. Its a video game. A damn good one but a video game all the same. I enjoy WoW for the story (that i’ve been following since mid 90’s), friends who play and the fact it gives me something to do. The ppl who i think waste their time are those who judge others. Ever hear of live and let live? The guy who started this post doesn’t like warcraft. Thats fine, but the fact he feels the need to tell others not to play it and bash the game tells me he’s kinda sad and looking for attention. Soooo, here it is, your special, your awsome, i’m gonna rub lotion on your butt and tell u its special and different from all the others. U feel better now Marzo? =)
24 ottobre 2007 alle 01:53
I’ve been a gamer since i could pick up a NES Controller. I enjoy video games, and fora while i was addicted to WoW. I still like to game but not all the time anymore…ive better things to do. I look back at getting addicted to WoW and i laugh at myself..its not even that fun, the graphics are outdated, it costs an assload of MoT (MONEY OVER TIME ROFL), the gameplay is lame..it claims to be real time but u dont control your attacks..your character auto swings while u fix a bologna sandwhich..”PUSHING SKILL BUTTONS” is hardly any better than auto attack…the gameplay is LOOOONNG and repetetive..everyone get a new game and play it less..life is better.
24 ottobre 2007 alle 02:10
Sry for the double post(no edit button) but id just like to add the fact that it takes a fucking RIDICULOUS amount of playing to reach max lvl…at lvl 40 it took me a full 24hrs of playing to get to 42…why the fuck did i ever play WoW *Slaps self*.
8 novembre 2007 alle 23:37
This guy is totally right. Not only is wow an addictive game and eats away at your life, it is also itself not a REAL game.
Classes are all unbalanced and all it takes is button pushing to win at anything. There is no real skill required to play wow, you just rely on your stats, enchants and critical chances and so on.
I am a long time CS player and i like playing some other FPS games, and I started playing wow 10months ago and now I have tried my older games again and I realised how much of a noob wow has transformed me into.
I can now see that I spent nearly a whole year spending 90% of the time playing against computer controlled monsters, noob higher levels who gank you because they know they cannot fight someone their own level because they suck. This is an MMO, I spend so much time fighting NPC mobs and the only multiplayer I get in the actual game, not in a battleground or arena is chatting, selling on the trade channels, and arguing about which items are better. Like what kind of a dumbass game is that!? Getting a fashion wardrobe (armors)… and all for what? So that I can run around cities saying “look at my cool new armors man, wow look at this +15agility”. PFFFFF, wow is not a game, its a plague.
Real games are FPS and RTS, and every other genre that requires actual brainpower and micro skills to win. And a real RPG that I can respect is something like the Final Fantasys and other similar classic franchises, not frikin wow.
If you play this game, sooner or later you will realise that it is full of shit and not worth the money compared to so many other FREE online games where all you pay for is the game from the shops. If you are thinking about quiting wow, you are doing the right thing. Just because Blizzard say they got 9million addicts all over the world playing their game does not mean that those 9million have their brains switched on and they know what they are doing. The world has billions more gamers than 9million… I would say that 9million are all either noobs, or poor gamers who got sucked in.
8 novembre 2007 alle 23:56
gythorn121 you are a total fag, u remind me of gay and you are a total noob.
wow is nothing but a button pushing game, there is no skills involved at all. you cannot even fight against real players to progress in the game, wether you are on a pvp or pvp or rpvp server whatever… you progress everywhere against the environment. It is meant to be a fucking MMORPG, you are meant to play it against and with other players, NOT ONLY WITH other players.
you are honestly gona turn around and say that wow is the best game ever??? 9million players can suck my balls when we all know that FPS and RTS are the REAL games, and are the ones that EVERY pc gamer (or console) plays. you wow addicts arent even playing a proper MMO you are all just in lala land and blizzard is laughing at you aswell because you are sucked so far up wows ass and throwing your money away for nothing. you can see for yourself… spend ages to get to 70 and spend even more ages to get the best gear…. spend more life wasting time forming a guild wiv the best geared players to play the end game raids (more fucking PVE, still no sign on PVP) and oohhh no… another expansion… now all the money u wasted on game time to get that far to do all that is now worth shit because the new expansion will make your gear worthless.
dont u see its like a mirage… you get to the end and u ready to do something and they throw in an expansion…
and u will keep doing the same shit over and over… and soon u`ll realise that u are spending your time wasted doing nothing. AND if u ever do get to the very very end and u have ALL the gear, now what do u do?
just walk around? log on to chat to your friends? “hey gythorn121 what u doing up there?” “im playing wow im pwning” lol by chatting and “selling” shit to people???
LEARN TO PLAY REAL GAMES
9 novembre 2007 alle 00:17
WOW is a plague, disease, it is as mentioned here - the jackass of the gaming world.
I went to a LAN tournament recently in my home town and there was some guy there playing wow at a frikin LAN party!! WTF!
All you noobs and pieces of shit who claim this game is so great obviously are no longer welcome at LAN parties where REAL gamers who play REAL games battle it out against each other.
the only good thing about WOW is that it keeps all you assholes away from the rest of us… so keep playing your heap of shit unskilled button pushing crap game, and stay the fuck away from the rest of us.
gay noobs
9 novembre 2007 alle 00:49
I was just going to ignore all of this fuckign ridiculous shit but i cant do any longer this guy is an immature asshole and you are all just encouraging him WoW is a game A frikken game that your making a big deal over everyone has diffrent preferences some people prefer clicking rather then moving around dodging and shit im fine with any style of game play but at the end of the day games are just games there made for fun if you dont enjoy playing a game then dont play it but dont come chatting loads of shit on a website it dosnt help anything it just proves how immature you are and one more hasnt the word noob worn out its welcome?
9 novembre 2007 alle 00:50

11 novembre 2007 alle 07:57
I have played WoW maybe for a total of 1 hour. Nothing more. I tried it at my friends house. I can see how people like it and totally how they become addicted to it. But i’m not a big fan on hardcore mmorpg so I personally think the game is lame. SO IN YOUR FACE WoW PLAYERS!!!!!
11 novembre 2007 alle 07:58
One more thing. If any of you out there have ps3’s or play diablo2 or warcraft3, i think your awesome even if you do play WoW.

11 novembre 2007 alle 11:39

11 novembre 2007 alle 21:47
Oh hey gythorn i have a question for you. Do you know why the message respond box has its instructions is spanish? Just a quick stupid question. =)
12 novembre 2007 alle 01:23
lol i saw a friend of mine playing WoW and it just made me remember how shitty it is, all he talked about when me and my buds went to his house was his WoW character….I was like dude put the keyboard down and lets go for a ride…he wouldnt come and his mom was like “i think hes gonna quit school soon his grades are going down alot..
I said w/e bro have fun with your Female night elf chick…most action your gonna get and left…
Also as far as gaming goes…why would u even still play WoW ..the expansion adds more of the same crap shit and lame graphics…i mean it looks like a ps2 game…Come into the future and play new games losers.
12 novembre 2007 alle 18:31
oy purple panda i respect your opinion but dont try and tell us gamers what to play and what not to play
12 novembre 2007 alle 20:00
Gythorn121–it just seems to me that the game has been out for a good while now and after years and years of playing it and doing the SAME THING over and over with no benefits that you WoW players would get tired of it like i do and now your going to play through another expansion of the same stuff? You have to be insane…stop and think for a second because i dont care how much u say u can manage a social life between WORK AND WOW ..you’re lying ..if you dont spend several hours in a play period to gain a lvl or 2 your going to progress at an INCREDIBLY slow rate, meaning getting to 70 could take up to a year, no one does that, every player i know levels decently fast, so stop and ask yourself ..is pretending life dosent exist and replacing it with this fake (shitty) reality really worth it? Your just going to end up depressed when the game servers get shut down…WoW cant last forever and eventually reality is going to slap you in the face and your going to wonder what your going to do with your life.
Wake up now while u still can.
Oh and please dont go all immature and blow up at this comment like a 12 year old cussing me.
12 novembre 2007 alle 22:25
purple_panda said it
u cannot play this game properly and have a social life, its impossible. whats even worse is the fact that you do not play against any other players to progress through the game, its just fight npc mobs all the time. those mobs do not even have any AI so its not like u have any real challange playing the game anyway.
a lot of the time is spent making money to buy certain things that you need to progress through the game and most of that money can only be made by doing boring professions for a long long time. so in effect… you have to stop playing the game and farm.. gather… whatever your profession is to make that money by selling items on auction houses. thats not fun, thats ebay. you should be able to play the game at 100% to progress in anyway, not stop and do boring things like a rip off from the RL auction house.
in the time i played wow, most of the people i knew in the game where hardcore players… they where always pissed off, depressed, sad, all for stupid things like they didnt get the weapon they wanted from some boss, or no one is buying their stuff from the auction house. pathetic, pissed off and depressed because you cannot move on in your little fake virtual world?
everytime the servers go down… “OHH NO, how are you gona live?”. there are tonnes of other REAL games with great graphics AND great gameplay with more players than wow will ever have. theres also a whole REAL world out there. anyone who plays wow to the limits is not a gamer one bit. wow is not a game… its a job.
what are u gona do when the day comes that blizzard will cease support to wow?? ohh wait, you didnt know that?
12 novembre 2007 alle 22:26
and gaythorn you are not a gamer…
u r a fag
12 novembre 2007 alle 22:26
yes you can…
12 novembre 2007 alle 22:29
J your a fucking asshole WoW is just a game why are you making a big deal and fags can still be gamers:)
14 novembre 2007 alle 22:37
i am a fag
14 novembre 2007 alle 22:39
ohhhh WOOOOOW! you admitted it!!!
14 novembre 2007 alle 22:40
yeah… i am a fag…
im sorry for everything
14 novembre 2007 alle 22:43
i do sort of see where you guys are getting at. it is quite a crap game when you reach the end and you realise that you spend all that time achieving only a wardrobe set with nice stats. you could just do arenas or battlegrounds i guess… but apart from that the game is just not there anymore. i also admit that many people who end up playing this also forget about their real lives and they neglect their families and friends.
14 novembre 2007 alle 22:51
your still a fag… you attacked and humiliated other people on this site before i even came across it which is why i have decided that you are a fag. of course… calling you a fag, you are going to fight back and defend your faggyness by calling me shit like an asshole.
doesnt matter what you call me… we all know u r a fag because of your bullshit approach to all of this.
i have an asshole… its near the lower part of my body and shit comes out of it when my body digests food and needs to get rid of the wastage. so does everyone else have one, with the exeption of fags like you… because your asshole is blocked and useless because of the really hard and stuborn shit inside it… and all the shit that you produce just flows around your body and ends up in your bloodstream and eventually affects your brain… and then you release all that fucking shit with your “shit” comments and attitude… and the quality of your argument and the lack of intelligence that your side of the argument shows proves that you are just simply a big pile of useless shit
GTFO noob
15 novembre 2007 alle 04:56
Your fucking impersonating me….immature asshole its obvious to everyone here…
15 novembre 2007 alle 18:44
i hav no idea wtf you are talking about,

15 novembre 2007 alle 18:46
i actuly havnt been on it all week and everyone can see how immature you are…. Not to mention the fact your a homophobic dick….and ot be honest you sound just like a WoW player…
16 novembre 2007 alle 05:57
