That's really stupid... WOW is fun. I'm a chick and I play that and Call of Duty 4 and kick ass at them both, theres nothing wrong with games. Sorry but that was a bitchy thing to do.

WoW can be a dangerously addicting game. (refer to #105). I was once quite addicted... preferred to play WoW over spending time with my friends and girlfriend. Lost motivation for going out, this was coupled with a drug addiction at the time, it became an endless cycle of smoking weed and playing WoW day in and day out. There are some people who have gone as far as losing their job because they stayed up too late playing WoW the night before and always showed up late/called in sick. It is really pathetic if you think about it, but people who really play WoW seriously can hear this type of news and not be fazed because that is what the game requires... atleast extremely high end. Those seriously hard core guilds raid 5-7 Days of the week for 4-6 hours a night. Not to mention time you have to devote playing solo to prepare for those raids every night (repair money, materials). This is equal a full time job or more. You fall into this routine and can't get out of it. And WoW is truly a game that is dictated by the amount of time you put into it. Learning raid strategies, character builds, PvP, even building social relationships with people you will never meet in real life. Over the past 4 years I have quit this game many times, when you take time off from it you realize the wonderful things to life and just how time-consuming this game is. Honestly, as much fun as this game is, before WoW, we all were a bit different... maybe we cared about certain things, maybe our personalities were a bit different, who knows... This game came out and it changed millions of people, turning them in hermits. Just step back and see that this is really just a game. If you make the excuse you can't get girls cause u are ugly, skinny, fat, or socially awkward, you can blame the game for it, because the last 4 years you spent glued to your computer playing this game... you could have been at the gym-working your body, making new friends, focusing on making yourself better in REAL life not your ingame character. Anyways, boy was wrong in choosing the game, especially if you have been dating that long... unless there were other underlying issues between you two. Second, ultimatums are bullshit. Just for the record, not everyone who plays WoW is a nerd/loser.

wat is this i dont even how did this get here Good lord, really? I'm going to be #?? in saying not everyone who plays WoW is a loser or has no life. Both my fiance and I play and have for the past 4 years or so. In that time we went to school, had jobs, hung out with friends and still do. ( Well, we've both graduated and in college, but you get it. ) It's obvious not enough information was given which is why people jump to assumptions ( I want to be the person going "Get over yourself." ). He could have ignored her, or she was an attention ***** who wanted it all on her.

Good on you for dumping him! Anyone who would choose WOW over real life is a brain-drained idiot. WOW is as addictive and tragic as any drug. I wouldn't think twice about dumping a WOW freak just like I wouldnt think twice about dumping a heroin addict. Good on you!!

first off, i am a girl who plays wow. giving him an ultimatum was really stupid, because even if he would have chosen you, he would have been angry at you, or sad for a very long time. and i mean really, did he ever make you quit any of your hobbies? You're a mean mean mean girl, and i hope your next boyfriend doesn't play wow, but cheats on you every day.

I'm not going to make assumptions about the whole situation, like how much he was playing or if you're just controling. I hit YDI the second you said ultimatum, ladies there is a significant percentage of us that when you say it's (blank) or me, we sill say (blank) no matter what it is becuase ultimatums are childish, disrespectfull and make you sound controling.

Fake or not: This is, in fact, almost more entertaining than my realm's forums. "Cry more."?

Okay really, it seems that there is a smattering of each side here, but honestly, being a WoW player and a functioning member of society, the game only sucks you in if you let it. This guy obviously had enough of a social life to even get a girlfriend and keep her for so long. If the game made him happier, maybe he was going through something in life and was looking for a little escape or the girlfriend went from being the awesome that first got them together to the type of person that throws out ultimatums like that. YDI. Plain and simple. Enjoy.

#203, WoW (Or any other MMO for that matter), doesn't automaticly ruin someones life. I know plenty of people who play MMOs, and do just fine. Just because a fue people become completely obssesed, doesn' mean EVERYONE is. Now I agree, sometimes MMOs (Especially WoW from what I've seen) can do some crazy things to people, but as long as the person can relize its just a game, then it doesn't cause many problems...
